- Chomsky, UA laureate professor in linguistics and Agnese Nelms Haury Chair, is one of the most influential public intellectuals in the world and the founder of modern linguistics. Chomsky is credited with revolutionizing the linguistics field by introducing the Chomsky hierarchy, generative grammar and the concept of a universal grammar, which underlies all human speech and is based in the innate structure of the mind and brain. An ardent free-speech advocate, Chomsky is famous for his political commentary and has published and lectured widely on U.S. foreign policy, Middle Eastern politics, democratic society, war, environmental destruction, and media criticism.
This event is co-organized by ASUA and the UA College of Social and Behavioral Sciences. Support comes from the Agnese Nelms Haury Program in Environment and Social Justice.
He is giving a q&a on his 91st. A true man of the people
Wonder if another such a prophet will grace this earth after he is gone,
I will be truly saddened when he passes. Once I thought these timeless people will live forever, but I was sadly mistaken when the late-great Stan Lee passed. Everyone's got to go sometime I guess.
The greatest
The fact that we’re alive at the same time as Chomsky is just nuts

I thought that if you dreamed in another language that you have studied it is indicative that you are now fluent in that language.
Intellectual Self Defense thank you!
Thank uuuu
How is that lecture hall not jam packed?!
You guys have an international treasure walking the halls don’t take him for granted.
@guss whu you have zero idea what you are talking about. Chomsky is not a reactionary like you
@@imgayasheck595 you shouldn't think that only happens to reactionaries, Bernie Sanders got smeared as a misogynist by Clinton supporters even though he's anything but, and Chomsky in the past wrote an article defending a professor who got fired for questioning the Holocaust, and Chomsky defended his free speech even though he didn't agree with the guy, many college students these days might consider that as Chomsky defending hate speech, though they'd be wrong.
I was thinking the same thing when I saw the sparse crowd. It’s a damn shame people aren’t more aware of Chomsky and even more willing to participate in a sit down with him to ask questions and pick his brain. He’s a living national treasure.
I am sure it was not an open forum. No-one challenged him on anything. If opened up there would be a lot of people of all kinds to attend. It was set up by the student association whose mission is to serve, engage and empower the student body through advocacy, and resources, and the Social and Behavioral Sciences.
Chomsky never debates anyone, I think he had like two debates, and once or twice went on William F. Buckley Jr show, and once on the Alex Jones show, so his opinions are only challenged by others challenging his ideas. That said he is a very smart man who has done a tremendous amount of research, but Anarchy is what he describes, which is really not Anarchy, but a collective group with has a say in governance.
BWreSlippySlope 🤨🤨🤨 this was by far the strangest reply I’ve seen. I know it’s not an open forum. My point is, I’m sure there are a helluva lot more students that could’ve attended that event than what showed up.
And why should he or would he waste his time debating people who-if they’re anything like that pompous shitbag Buckley-will be disingenuous and talk over him the whole time??
Chomsky’s time on earth is limited. He should only talk to genuine people who have legitimate questions for him at this point and want to learn. Not debate things he’s already been proven right on.
Happy Birthday Noam Chomsky.
Happy birthday of noam chomsky to us! We are fortunate that he was born, that he speaks out.
Long live, Noam! What a kind, generous, and down-to-earth you are. Much love from Gaza. :)
I can’t believe the auditorium is half empty. Such an amazing person. I do t think the students on campus realize the “pearl” in their midst. Happy Birthday Noam.
I am not American but I would imagine Arizona is hardly a hub of the kind of radical left thinking that Chomsky espouses. But at least he was there and some heard him. People lets wake up to reality.
@c4p0ne Don't forget about those fucking celebrity chefs. They always pop up when an empires finished.
@@thomasash295 Book? What's a book?
@@waterkingdavid Arizona's great. I buried a lot of people there.
I once hosted a couchsurfer who came across Europe to Germany to hear Chomsky speak in my town.
Watching from Saudi Arabia! Much respect to Dr. Naom !
Don't get persecuted lol
I'm sure the feeling isn't mutual...
@@Johnconno what a miserable being
@@hojackborseman4495 Is the truth a little painful?
@@Johnconno what truth are you preaching you plebe
A prophet for our times. His lucidity and candour are inspiring. Happy birthday, most beloved Professor Chomsky.
A rare gem for humanity, Happy Birthday Professor!!
What remarkable intellectual acuity at 91 years old!! We remain blessed!
I'm in awe every time I watch or listen to Prof. Chomsky. He somehow has the ability to absorb enormous amounts of information and then recall details years later after having sorted everything into a world view that is exceedingly mature and at the same time understandable by ordinary humans. Simply amazing.
Yep his hard drive has far more capacity then almost all of us + he has a pretty good cpu and lots of ram! I'm a 286 that takes 10 minutes to boot and has constant memory faults, sadly..
I'm in awe every time I listen to him patiently deal with an idiotic question
22 years I've been following him, and he's taught me more, including where to source information, than anyone else.
42 minutes in and I am continuously amazed by how Chomsky will seem to wander in response to a question, or just have missed a piece of the (poorly articulated) idea some kid mumbled into the mic, but always somehow manage to circle back around to every aspect of what was asked. What a blessing to still have this monumental person so lucid in his 90’s...
Wow, this dude is still going strong at the age of 1 million.
Love Chomsky
Professor Chomsky is a peerless genius.
No doubt
David Ball totally agree that he is peerless in the modern age. A wonderfully unique thinker.
@jeff Is that supposed to be funny?
@Jeff. Well he isn't.
He is no genious, he is very well educated and is on a higher objective level that the rest around him.
Happy happy belated b-day Dr Chomsky, hugs 🤗 & blessings 🎂👏🥰
First, I always ask myself; W.W.N.C.D.
(What Would Noam Chomsky Do), always will.
This human is brilliant & my life is better, because of him.
I have a t shirt that says this 😅
love this. will adopt it.
A Person please do 🥰
garrett find where do I find one of my own??
Is this from Krauss? Hehehehe
Wow Chomsky looks great with a beard. He would make a great Santa.
Tis the season.
and have you noticed that you never see the two of them together....humm
@@nonebusiness4488 Lol
Looks like Spielberg lmfao
Karen Grice Socrates
I took his first evening class three years ago. Great experience 8 weeks
I just realized I share a birthday with the greatest intellectual alive
It's God Damn shameful and reflects poorly on our country that one of the most prominent thinkers of the modern era is giving free intellectual advice to a major university and the room is half-full at best. Apathy in democracy leads to extinction.
William Segerstrom We’re definitely working on it with Trump.
So true. Stick a fork in it, it's done.
Chomsky would be quite happy to know 75,000 people have watch this is thus far...
...half room ...that's still ok if there are quality people,which I believe
other leftists dream of getting this many people to show up
Happy Birthday to an Icon. 🌺🌴🌺
I was here! Took a picture with him and everything.
Were you cleaning the place afterwards?
Paul hornet lol you must’ve worked a job you considered beneath you at some point
Allusionsxp Where the hell were your peers?!
Treasure it
Happy Birthday to a man who helps us be better as individuals and a society 🥇💯❣️
I had no idea that Santa was Jewish (I'm joking) God bless Professor Chomsky - hope he can stick around for another decade, he is a gift to humanity.
Of course Santa is Jewish. He works on Christmas.
My hero , mentor, and friend. So nice to see you.
This series is sooo necessary! Thanks to one and all.
I love you, Professor Chomsky!!!!
I am a huge fan of professor Noam from Saudi Arabia. I have watched so many of his lectures, read a few of his books and articles. it is a dream to me to meet him in person. I was really shocked when I saw the audience, how come the room is not full. But, this is the reality we live in where great people are not appreciated. Wish you a long life Noam👍🏻.
Arizona better had been on spring break or something, that crowd is weak for the mind on stage. As always Noam is a gem to be cherished. Thank you sir.
😂😭
I think youtube finally learned how to recommend me the right vid
I love you Dr. Chomsky.
It's amazing how he still makes himself accessible to anybody and everybody!
Very interesting talk. Thank you for this upload, which will be an invaluable record of the old professor. loving the beard professor!
OMG, I cannot believe that this was the number of students who attended this event. The auditorium should've been packed. I feel privileged to live at the same time that Prof. Chomsky lives. Happy Birthday, Prof. Chomsky.
Just took a snapshot of him...looking great!
Happy birthday professor!
We’re lucky to see you healthy and hear your wise words.
never die, king
91 years!
when you're having a Chomsky binging day..entering into my 5th hour of his talks this morning at 10:30 am,lol
Love ya Noam Chomsky, happy late birthday
I wish I could meet him. Wonderful person.
I was a librarian at MIT and I did meet him. I'm pleased to say I have nothing bad to say about him.
@@fidomusic that's really cool. Did you ask him a question when you met him?
Brilliant man whose thoughts are so comprehensive because of his vast knowledge and experience. Happy birthday to you Sir, and may you have many more (with good health)!
Such a pleasure to here this Man speak!
Legend.
Such a great man. Thank you Dr. Chomsky.
Always valuable to brainstorm to the voice of Noam Chopsky.
happy birthday Mr. Chomsky. A dissenting voice that is needed
Santa: 6 Dec
Chomsky: 7 Dec
Looks: Similar
have you noticed that you NEVER see he two of them together.
Have you ever seen Santa and Noam IN THE SAME PLACE?!?
Living legend
I was disappointed that a moderator didn't repeat some of the questions to Mr Chomsky while he struggled to hear what he was being asked. It could've saved time and allowed him to respond to the questions exactly as they were phrased.
I know right, incredibly poor form and also disappointing for the students who were asking the questions.
Yes. Perhaps they should write them. If his opinion is sought, accuracy should be the premise.
Awesome. Love to see this continue.
Brilliant legend. Always loved reading his books but listening to him speak always puts me to sleep.
Happy 91st Prof. Chomsky! 🥳
So glad to have seen a few interviews with this living legend this week.
Cant get enough of this man. Thank you professor Chomsky.
Dear Noam, The beard looks very good on you. It was long overdue. Thanks for all enlightening contributions.
I loved the office hours, thank you!
Keep this man alive
Happy birthday Mr. Chomsky I hope you live forever!
Wow. What a wonderful job he made of that at 90.
Very good vídeo; clear and easy to follow this incredible mind. Long life Chomsky 😉👊👍
Happy once more around the sun .Professor Chomsky
thank you so much for this upload =)
Long live prof. I hope and intend to be honored to meet you one day💙🙏💖✨🍀🕊 and untill that day may God bless you 🙏⭐️🔥🎤🧚🏻♀️🕊✨💙💜
“There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party … and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat.”
― Gore Vidal (1926-2012)
@terefe feyssa dems now are the conservatives. Republicans.. well
Properly speaking this should change - Republican and Lemocrat - then, literally.
Happy birthday Professor Chomsky.
Noam Chomsky = Lefty Yoda
Supernautiloid or lefty Santa
he's with the dark side, posing as a jedi. Chomsky is a gatekeeper for the oligarchs, will bitch about "capitalism" at length but obfuscate on the central banking system, JFK, 9/11 etc. th-cam.com/video/EEDf7OkRCxk/w-d-xo.html
No surprise in a pro human thinkers' forum. Just a few $ub Human RIGHTurd $TINKER$ like $uper$tinker & Bulldog BULL$HIT!!
Bwah! Hahahahahahaahaha. LMFAO.
@@Citadin narrow research. Re-check the WorldWide Web & YT where Prof Chom NAILS 'em all without buying EVERY conspiracy theory.
@@tinapatton7346 Chomsky skirts the key issues, like the Fed debt-based usury monetary system, or the nature of the deep state, offering vague analyses that boil down to "capitalism bad". He's the definition of a gatekeeper, packaging 90% truths in order to hide the big 10% lie.
What a capacity Chomsky is. Amazeing intelect and real truth teller
Chomsky is a legend and deserves to be honored revered and respected for his legacy
One of the greatest minds of all time. Can't believe that this great man was on President Nixon's 'Enemies List'
U S Chomsky is brilliant, he’s made millions writing about the evils of capitalism. LOL
That's the power of democracy: when you open the mic to common people, a variety of themes enriches the discussion and even the guest gets more dynamic and seems happier with the chalenge. Do it more and open the mic for people outside the academics to ask public intelectuals. We need that blending.

Happy Birthday, Noam!
Happy Birthday Mr. Noam Chomsky!
Happy belated Prof Chomsky!
thanks for this..
The mind has a simultaneous concept of all time. It travels back present and future simultaneous. PEACE
Not only is he still smart as a whip, but he also can grow an awesome beard.
At 91 he gives such amazing insight and clarity on a range of topics. The man is incredible.
Te amo Chomsky. Saludos de Argentina
I recommend the hosts use speech to text so Chomsky can read the question as a backup. Also a moderator could read the questions to him.
Live long and prosper.
His memory is incredible,
If I'm still conscious after dying off, I would be happy to hear a voice just like Noam's explaining things to me then.
He becomes the white wizard
Belated Happy Birthday Mr. Noam Chomsky
Love him.
His spectacular mind is surpassed only by his incredible ability to allow morons like me to see and understand things beyond my vision. I already miss him so much. No one will fill the void he shall leave behind. Thank you Professor.
Happy Birthday to an idol and the Greatest mind of the 20th Century
humbled Sir ...
Happy Birthday Noam Chomsky
GOD BLESS YOU NOAM CHOMSKY!
OH, I love it, it's great, Prof Chomsky with a philosopher's beard, or a scholarly beard.
Indeed, Prof C, you are a gentleman in a squalor.
To be a student in Arizona, great weather living life and you have Noam Chomsky available?
I'd be there everybody
It's the mystery that makes life worth living, if we knew everything life would be rather boring. That there are great mysteries - ensures that as long as our species survives it's organic life, life will remain interesting... The great mysteries, perhaps are a form of our organic perceptions that are just learned and observed, and as such tell we are able to function on a higher level of consciousness and awareness of our collective unconsciousness thought, it is highly un likely that we will even begin to understand the great mysteries, because it's based on thought.. Btw certain types of meditation is all about not thinking and moving into oneself with a non mental non thinking clarity. And then there are dreams.... Happy birthday Noam nice office hours talk - very very different from your other talks....
After thoughts - as we enter the 7th Kingdom of life/biology - or the Techneum as its starting to be called - and we attempt to merge with, and emerge within it, there is some possibility we might survive, but my feeling is that our technology will fail us do to our economics.
Regarding the unspoken truths within academia - I leave this multiple platitude : "Only fools go where angles dare to tread - but the fool who persists in his folly becomes wise, - in nature is the way, and in the way one finds oneself a connection to everything , sometimes the simple things are the hardest to understand, as in balance within one self and the external world.... and for what it's worth: th-cam.com/video/c-M_kVZTf50/w-d-xo.html
It is just sad to see many Amercan intellectuals ingnoring how a throughful intellectual should behave
Long live chumsky
I hope this man sticks around for a while. His voice is irreplaceable.
this place should have been packed
While I don't disagree, it is not about numbers totally. It's about reach, which was achieved via this recording.
Looks like old Chomsky's getting into the Christmas spirit.
Happy Birthday.
Please, Professor Chomsky, don't die!
I remember when Chomsky discarded McCarthyism in one of his talks..... He stated; "Stalin called his state Socialist, and America agreed, killing two birds with one stone to perpetuate the propaganda"......
Stalin's state was communist...state owned. (socialism is people owned).....Chomsky went on to say, "There has not been a shred of socialism in Russia since 1918".....with the annihilation of unions (which were socialism)........ Capitalism's defensive reaction to the empathy of socialism... Unions, libraries, fire departments, work cooperatives.... All taking away profit from corrupt privatism......... Socialism is corrupt privatism's nightmare....... The people taking control, and killing profits.
Chomsky is not just an American Treasure... He is a world Treasure......
