Is this a joke? Plato's dialogs were all about grammar whose underlying principle was called Dialectic, speech in accordance with the two elements of a thing, relative and correlative, i.e., a data stream and its limits. Today it is called binary information processing proven globally. Both the Bible and Plato, intimated that Geometry (Euclidean) is a Universal Grammar. And it is provably so, as geometry establishes a one to one correspondence between the elements of a thing and the behavior of the hand. All reasoning can be made perceptible in metaphor using geometry.
EDIT: YEP he said it in this very video!! Isn't this the guy who claimed that Chomsky thought that all concepts have existed within language for all time? For example, he claimed on the old Zero squared pod that Chomsky thought the term "hovercraft" would've existed for all time. Seems like a ridiculous claim.
You’re a gifted producer, you have excellent guests I’d never encounter elsewhere
the idea that the US military was as excited about Chomsky as the Manhattan project is quite an over-statement
@@nothingmatters321 agreed
Great discussion. Love Knight's work, I wrote a paper on his "Blood Relations" at uni.
I don't think Chomsky's life was nearly as bifurcated as Dr. Knight would like to believe. There's a fundamental unity in his bourgeois individualism.
Noam Chomshy demolishing William F. Buckley on Firing Line re: Vietnam, was one of his finer moments.
Great guest and great talk. Thank you!
Thanks for this and happy new year! Chomsky is what got me into leftism, this is awesome to hear.
Chris mentioned that his colleague Sarah is an authority on social biology. Did he mention her full name.
Sarah Blaffer Hrdy possibly.
Are we describing a split personality
Did Chomsky produce anything of value for tha US government
Its* limits
Thanks. Fixed.

"All *binary reasoning…" FTFY

Was hoping for a good-faith scientific critique of Chomsky's linguistics instead of this character assassination. Disappointing.
