    What's shocking to me is you can watch every interview, talk, etc., he has ever given and he never gets a word wrong or mangles his syntax, while discussing cutting edge linguistic science, philosophy, history, you name it. Remarkable.

    saturated with words and ideas. Chompsky-the-elder has dropped all that and become understandable to any
    intelligence. I love how Nature has done its work with him, down to the bare bones. And so I return to the later talks.

    The word house is a fantastically complex concept, involving abstract ideas of exterior and interior and an observers physiceal relation to those two states. A
    Some autistic people have singular visual representations of the category house, so if they imagine what houses look like they don't have a variety of possible exterior design structures to choose for internal representation, but rather a single house exemplar image. The cog. normative brain makes this same conceptual operation if you ask the normal person to visualize home; I find this interesting.

    • @AnHebrewChild
      @AnHebrewChild Год назад

      Can you explain your last sentence? You make a distinction between house and home (which, of course, there is) but you seem to suggest that "home" invokes a conceptual image in the 'normal' brain much like 'house' does in some autistics.
      This seems counter-intuitive to me.
      Did I read you correctly?

    • @ivannegri7724
      @ivannegri7724 Год назад

      @@AnHebrewChild I sort of confused myself, I can only assume that I meant that for a non-autistic house is a particular that needs no singular mental representation, meaning everytime you think about a house you might very well think of a different house every time, but because home is your personal relationship to house, you have a sort of Platonic singular representation, for example my parents had several residences when I grew up, but I always associated home with one particular house, the house on Green meadow Dr. so for me that was representative of what the feeling of the word home invokes. Sorry about the confusing nature of my not well formulated thoughts.

Interesting idea that the non-autistic will unconsciously select a former residency, presumably one with the highest degree of imprinted emotions, to express the "HOME," that's very interesting.

      Sorry for finding this 3 years later; I'm not sure how you could disagree with much of what he says. He cites sources and draws pictures around ideas that he's selling and then drills into the idea. He does it over and over. He also gives great context as to what/how/why everything operates the way it does now.
      Also his politics are literally let people self govern and don't kill people (that's dumbed down but I am pretty sure I've landed on the general essence)

    The fact of naming ceremonies means we are smart enough to know we can be named. That's a recognition which could be made independent of other communities and without saltation. If you look at folk history of California native Americans, first came name for me, then for you, then for direction, etc. That's a new technology. And naming ceremonies for teens is common. And also, In the beginning was the word.... is an abstract expression of how important worded expression became. In animistic religion, you get a name under cave art where the animals are god like. Now you get a name to place you in a community of likes. And once you have a name for yourself, art can flow as naming devices, educational devices for a new idea. Look at Anne Sullivan. Teaching a new technology to Helen. It spreads.

      The thing is, he nailed it. Refutations never age well. Every once in a while someone finds a language that doesn't appear to have some minor thing he said was universal, but it turns out wrong or extremely nitpicky even for scientists. The main idea, that there's some a priori knowledge backing up the acquisition of language, is almost universally accepted.
