He predicted all of what is happening 30 years ago. He had the right answer to every question. He’ll he missed 😢

Bad stuff was happening back then as it is today. We just have more cell phones to document every instance of everyday lives. This also changed how we thought about our lives due to the high amount of reporting on tragic events. That is basically going from three news stations to over 5, 000, billions of cell phones and social media reports on the minute details of life. We've come to fear everything due to the knowledge that escaped us previously.

I said this 10yrs ago

It’s a horror movie outside all the children have gone

Say what you want abour Chomsky but his kids probably had a great life and they are probably happy good people.

I miss him. I know he's dying...somewhere in South America. Brazil ? He helped me understand how propaganda works and what citizen co-operation is. I have only loved one man...my father. But Noam is up there with my father...I have great respect for Noam too!

[djonfonsteen]

I miss Noam already. Love his mind. Love his tenacity. A true Human Being. Its all about behaviour.. never what you are.. just how you behave. Bless Sir Noam. Sending the very best wishes to a man of the highest order. ❤

Kids play outside in my neighborhood nearly all year long (except the summer...) But this is Florida. No kids outside in Seattle or Kirkland (WA) or my brother's neighborhood in Frederick (MD)... Florida is special.

had a walk around my area on xmas kids out on their new bikes or roller skates...nothing

[ianrundle]

Not often that I agree with this man BUT in the topic of family life and "real" freedom, I'm definitely with him.

Our lives as children in the 50-60s were sans the ridiculous, but necessary fears that parents have today.

[melissavidic]

Very sad being driven to organized activities I was not part of that generation I played in the streets I never was home. We all looked out for each other in Brooklyn, New York.

[phyllislucero]

Creativity has been killed too. Everything is spoon fed.

[virginiajune]

It's sad kids would run the neighborhood and we used our imagination so much more. We would ride our bikes on Sat. And so on

[jordanwathen]

Now u get arrested if ur 10 year old is outside by themselves.

[HeberCornejo]

¡Viva Noam! ¡Viva el Anarquismo Chomskiano!

[Brock_]

If he takes that train to NY, it will take a while x

[shelleysolomon]

Exactly. Id sneak down to the west village

[Miownd]

I'm hearing a logical fallacy, but the point is well received.

[AustralianHistoryx]

So sick of these boomers. They changed the rules then complained about the outcome.

[AustralianHistoryx]

It’s been studied… kids can’t play anymore. Sweeping generalisations and nonsense

Pure

[windupmerchant]

Kids do know how to play but they can't play like we used to because there are too many dangerous people around. You could trust majority of adults in your neighborhoods back then but not anymore, which is sad.
