Mr Chomsky helped me over e-mail when I contacted him for help with a school project in my youth. He replied in less than 2 hours. Great guy.

[heidigone]

Over 4 hours of Noam Chomsky! Thank-you! 😊

[MrWillybk]

A wonderful article thank you for it. The truth is something so foreign to everyone. Noam Chomsky is someone who can look at reality and know the distinction between truth and non truths.

[iadedjane]

Fantastic discussion, Noam, you are a light in our societies, Thank you Michael for conducting it with much care and respect.

I love this man and am forever indebted to him. After 9-11 he is one of the people who woke me up to the way the world works. Though his take on people like Foucault (another hero of mine who has done as much as Chomsky to explain the workings of the world) and the French intelligencia is disappointing. Yes there's some obscurantism there if you want, but even that is more like a specialized vocabulary with its own history and reasons for being. In any case, this guy is one of the greats and last of the true public intellectuals.

68 likes and 2, 855 views says we Americans don't have the willingness to follow an extended discussion. Biting on Sound biting will be our unravelling. The Chompster is in top form in this interview. He hasn't gone down much in the last ten years.

[hayleyanna]

Thank you 😊 so much for sharing this. I am half way through. Much to think about.

[MB-dprj]

This is a "banquet" of sheer intelligence and common sense.

[blueview]

1:00:25 Chomsky says ‘cringe’ - my life is now complete 😂

[lamboidry]

May Chomsky's word live on for thousands of years!

[Gullinnova]

Its funny that he called out NPR looking back today, seeing how the Atlantic council took that one over as well. He is still prescient today. His take on Haiti is also spot on...

[huasonia]

Definitely doing the right thing! Thank you!

[billdoty]

The interviewer in this discussion is the biggest doorknob I have ever heard. But having said that, this interview is great to listen to to get me to sleep with my insomnia 🙂

[shwnc]

Editing this must've been a nightmare. Doing the real work out here 🍻

[Eaglepass]

I have a question
Edward Snowden
Be considered an Intellectual asset or a foreign body becomes a comprehensive editor.
...(How its made)...

Domestically systematized radicalism is an adaptive backdoor ambridged is programming living in the nexus

Well maybe two generational questions?
How much does that privacy really cost?
Information proposal.

[philiphavey]

See the early verses of the Tao The Ching on over shooting the remark.

[paulconnelly]

This was so good. Thank you for uploading. Are you at MIT?

[angeladinapoli]

So who are the reporters on the ground that he seems to be saying are the honest ones.

I’m sorry, I may not be an intellectual, but I can easily see that a lot of questions are getting answers that align closer to deflections than answers. 🤷🏼‍♀️
