THE PROFESSOR WHO CHANGED THE WORLD : A GUIDE TO NOAM CHOMSKY

[thelouster]

You’re less than a decade away from sounding like Chomsky.

“By the age of 10 noam had already written an article on the spread of fascism and by the age of 12 he openly identified as an anarchist politician”. WTF…. I ate dirt when I was 12

Noam Chomsky's linguistic theories are of such relevance that they even contributed to other fields, such as Computer Science and the development of programming languages and the first compilers. Nowadays his theories are still used in the development of Speech Recognition Systems and Natural Language Processing. I just thought that even though a little off topic, it's worth mentioning.

I ran into Professor Chomsky at a little sushi restaurant in February before the pandemic. He is up there in age so I didn’t think heard me that well, but it was pretty cool to shake his hand.

[vandelayindustries]

worth noting, Chomsky has dedicated the last decade and a half to talking about the existential threats to humanity- the threat of nuclear war, environmental crisis and attacks on democracy.
For 40 years he's known for spending 5 hours each night responding to people that email him sincere questions.
Today, at 92 he says he's busier than ever. Reminds me of marathon runners and boxers. They don't slow down, they get faster and work harder until the end.

He has the raspiest voice ever.
Listen to some of his recent Interviews

The animations have evolved, they blink now

[nickscurvy]

Chomsky CLAIMS to oppose unjustified hierarchies yet he advocates hierarchies in grammars.

Quite curious

[mitchellbrown]

Man, the irony of opening with thinkers staying true to their values at the expense of financial gain and then the cut to your sponsor was way too jarring. I get it, you gotta make money when you can but that was a bit too on the nose. I had to laugh, pause the video and write this comment.

[Maverickxx]

He is a rare case of virtuous parents doing a positive number on their son and community

[PASTRAMIKick]

reminds me of the time he basically said that Zizek talks a lot but says little, which can be true sometimes.

[chicana]

(Chomsky's dad) William has such an admirable reason for educating people: so they "may become well integrated, free and independent in their thinking, concerned about improving and enhancing the world, and eager to participate in making life more meaningful and worthwhile for all". He sounds like the sort of person that would encourage others to engage in the world again, encourage people to resist in spite of corporatocracy and simulated paranoia. Thank you for sharing, Sisyphus!

What does Noam Chomsky say while eating his favourite food.



*Noam Noam Noam*
(Ok, kill meh)

[ZealousWins]

Everyone remembers Noam Chomsky, but no one remembers Gnome Chomsky 😞

[somewiseguy]

I don't know why, but from the thumbnail, I thought it was Sartre XD

[christopherfisher]

Personally I find his denial of the Srebrenica massacre as a genocide because of his sympathy for the Serbian military regime hard to look past. He's said a lot of good things but that one idea that he's continuously doubled down on too hard to swallow. I feel many people don't know this.

[indoorsandout]

I used math to learn Japanese... The mere fact that this is a possibility, that grammar has an order of operations, that different languages have different orders, etc... is a huge breakthrough. I'm applying the method to Old Icelandic, we'll have to see how it pans out. But I got the idea during a fit of mania after reading about the innate ability of people to acquire language.
