"You pay for the privellege of having your mind destroyed" - this sentence basically sums up everything that's wrong with commercials, now more than ever
If a corporation was a living person, it would be classified as a psychopath. Limited liability, has no social contract, borderless. Profits at all costs.
I've always looked up to Chomsky, read several of his books and he's greatly informed my world view. But recently he's lost the plot. In this video he speaks to the evil of corporations and how their greedy practices are dangerous for society and brings up their tactics of lying and how cognitive capture of the public lead to great harm in the pursuit of profit. So why then did Chomsky totally buy into the pharmaceutical criminality and suggest that anyone who didn't get the jab should be shunned from society and forced to fend for themselves after being fired and ostracized? This after it was public knowledge that the shots didn't prevent transmission or even prevent infection, on top of all the serious health concerns that have been substantiated, even by the pharmaceutical companies own research? This massive blind spot seems almost inconceivable.
@@acetate909 The degree of corruption in pharma world surprised me. I mean that literally. I knew of corruption, but I also worked as an IT freelancer (clinical trials) in the pharma industry and thus had some insight in how they work. If that level of insight did not prepare me for the incompetence or maliciousness we saw (one as bad as the other), I can hardly expect people who probably have less insight to get it right. If these vaccines had lived up to the expectations based on "scientific evaluations", Chomsky's view seems to be perfectly supportable. This is a complex topic with loads of facets. I'm not sure if YT comments is a good platform to discuss this. My problem here is that I'm a science geek. I still believe in science, but the scientific community failed us, about as badly as politics or free markets. The older I get the more I feel like we live in a cold civil war and I'm on the loosing side.
🌎 As long as people continue to see themselves as separate from everything else, they lend themselves to being completely enslaved. Success depends on how well we relate to everything around us. Joy comes from that bliss of connectedness. I believe that unarmed truth and love will have the final word in reality. To love; you should have good heart. I am a good person until I see a person better than my standard of goodness. Being good is the progress towards a worthy cause. Love is God. Whoever lives in love, lives forever. How selfish it is to try to keep something forever? Love is all about nourishing, nurturing, sharing and expanding the love within you for all. The principle to which we adhere to is that we have kindness of love at heart for the whole of mankind. As long as there is the unnecessary differences within us; we can not live peacefully so we have to eliminate all the unnecessary differences among us so we can love all. People abilities may vary but not there true love. If we love a person/ God for a reason then we love the reason but not the person. No reason is the reason to love the person because true love never fails. So do not compare or measure the true love as first or the last but love all truly. If you love people truly then you can understand people. If you don't love then you don't understand people at all. People are controlled by system why? The Cyclical Consumption is the current economy all over the World. It is making the scarcity problems of the earth finite resources to deteriorate day by day. Current Monetary System is legalised theft. Real money is Gold and Silver. Scarcity gives the money more value. Real money won't lose it's value. When Governments stay away from Gold & Silver then very easy to transfer the wealth / resources to upper class the Rich (Corporatocracy) Elite. When the Governments are printing out more new fiat currency with reserve banks, our old currency is losing its purchasing power everyday. They are printing millions of currency everyday. All governments and laws are existing right now to transfer wealth to upper class the rich elite. The USA Government & other Governments are in many countries, bailed the investment banks & financial institutions in 2008 against the majority of the people. There is no democracy in any countries. Because of the Money System based on profits motive only above all else even humans lives and well-being. So, we do not have freedom to protect our values with the money so on. The violence, bankruptcy & all the negativities are build into the Monetary System of our society. All are owned (including ourselves) by Reserve Bank. Which is private cartel the corporation. So, in legal system, we are legally considered as chattel the properties. They make money in the capital markets with our birth certificates. They do not consider us as Humans. That's the truth. We are at the invisible war with the Elites (Corporatocracies). We have to fight for our Freedom. Resource Based Economy is the Solution. We have to declare the earth resources as the heritage of all the people of this world. So everyone has access to it. Please have your research about zeitgeist movement then you know the truth more. Truth About Health/Drugs Industry Because Of It Your Life At High Risk The drug industry is a 1/2 trillion dollars a year worldwide conglomerate. Almost 300 billions dollars just in North America. That is really big business. What would happen if everyone were well? There is no money in health. You see, good health makes a lot of sense but it doesn't make a lot of dollars. Because everything they do is toxic. Every drug they use, prescription drugs, all drugs are liver toxic, bar none. If you've had amalgam fillings put in your mouth by dentists. It is highly toxic. There's cancer because most of the chemos are themselves carcinogens. To view the tumor as the cancer and we know the tumor is not the cancer. The cancer industry is 200 billions dollars a year. The more work they get, the more profit there is. You have to dismantle; If the truth ever came out about what we would need to do. 30% of people of females in America are at risk of getting, will get cancer of the breast. The ones that are already dead have been grossly mistreated by the medical profession and by the government that supposedly is supposed to encourage free research and development of all possibilities. Why would medical doctors who studied medicine and practice medicine and are heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies why would they go and look into vitamins? That they never had the answer orthomolecular. And as more and more of our population start taking their health into their own hands, there's going to be even more and more of changes. It can't go on the way it is. The system is failing apart. We must make nutrition the primary prevention strategy for the population. You are what you eat. You are everything that you have ever done to yourself. The choices you make directly affect the outcome of your life. - (Food Matters Documentary in Netflix)
@@balathayaparanthayaparan6188 Money should represent unanimous result, or failing that individual effort. Scarcity is not a good measure, unless you're cynical enough to believe that individual effort is scarce. Gold and silver were only ever valuable because of the trade that went into procuring it. Nowadays there's a different mindset, and that's the individual's ability to pay interest on debt. Should debt be universal and unanimous? That's what's unanimously undecided.
*"Basically running the world."* The marriage of corporations and government, equals Fascism, and Mussolini said Fascism should more accurately be called "Corporatism." They basically make their own laws, and always have their hands out for their 'Corporate Welfare.' There was an interesting twenty year study done, I believe by Yale University. It showed that corporations got laws they wanted passed, and unfavorable, potential laws stopped, sixty percent of the time, and 'We the People' usually had about a zero percent chance of getting what we wanted. Noam is one of the brightest, most informed minds on the planet, and has such an amazing gift for communicating that information to us mere mortals. When we lose Noam Chomsky, we'll be losing a brilliant, honest, and outspoken man. My friend's son is a post-grad student, and when I mentioned Noam Chomsky, he had no clue who I was talking about. I'm sure he can find his schools 'Safe Space,' however. I'm not encouraged by the next generation, overall.
For anyone interested, here is the study I think you're referring to (and maybe we're even thinking of 2 _different_ studies that arrived at the same conclusion): scholar.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/mgilens/files/gilens_and_page_2014_-testing_theories_of_american_politics.doc.pdf
Your friends son is probably waiting for someone to teach him. If there’s anything Noam has taught me, it’s that despite all the horrors allied against us, we are not powerless. You have the power to organize your community and reach out to others, and have an obligation to at least try- especially with those in the academic community (political class). People aren’t stupid, despite how pessimistic and ignorant they may seem. If you fall into the trap of becoming a true believer, it’s only because you gave up on them due to giving up on yourself. They need you. We need you. Most importantly, *you^ need you. It’s been four years, have you made any progress?
Coperations have found a way to convince people that taxes and regulations on the rich and mega-coperations are limitations on everyone and cause the problems of the average person. Its amazing how powerful propaganda cam be.
I discovered Chomsky when I was in college studying political science (he is not taught) and I have read (more than once) everything he has ever written on political thought. He and Howard Zinn were my true education.
I get what you are saying but it sounds a bit too overdramatic. Reason and clarity are always around us, we just need to develop the discipline to get to them as chomsky did and many others. We have power too and we better stand up and use it responsibly.
He says this in front of the world. God damn it, he is one god damn courageous individual. These corporates could literally kill him for saying all this.
This is a totally fresh view on Corporatism. Makes Friedman look like a flunky. I'm already eminently familiar with renting my entire existence, I knew that, but I was unaware of original conservatism!

Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves… (and) the grand thieves are running the country.

Ok....another great video we street smart people know to find. But what do we all do about this overwhelming evidence to start making a change?......any answers out there?
We effect change and win with numbers. We out-number the 'elite' that is why they always try to divide. Don't fall for it. Organize! Mr. Chomsky hints at this throughout his countless speeches. Start local use the internet to connect and expand.
I wish I could consult Professor Chomsky on the ongoing outsourcing tactics utilizing our investments in standard social security, public education, and accountability currently outsourced for global socialization on our tax dollars across generations. Law is now AI. Public accountability is at an all time low without recourse. Very frustrating and sad to see.
Write him an email. He responds to everyone, usually within a day, it's quite remarkable. He just answered three questions I sent him on email, probably not more than a week ago. I can't grasp the intellectual tenacity this man has, truly something to aim for at the very least.
I'm reminded of this post i happened to see (i'm no expert). I also remember in the documentary 'The Corporation' there was the owner of the giant carpet company who said he legally couldn't change his business model (be more environmentally sustainable) if it wasn't for the fact that he also owned a majority of shares. www.professorbainbridge.com/professorbainbridgecom/2014/02/memo-to-harold-myerson-shareholder-wealth-maximization-is-a-norm-not-a-myth.html
Dodge v. Ford is a rather famous example. Ford wanted to subsidize employee purchases of vehicles, Dodge, a shareholder, said that would decrease his profits. Court ruled in favour of Dodge.
This is visually obvious but it's even more scary when you hear people telling homeless people to "get a job". They dont care why that person is unemployed and poor.
The✡️Law of the Government⚛️, the🏞️Environment🌎, & the Public👪must reach a unanimous, decisive agreement in qualified productivity of Love💕, Truth🎺, & Beauty😍, with true🤺passion b'right🌞N👁️W!
'living person' ...well it is designed to not have a feeling...certainly a pocket for it to 'do' without consequence except more power of money. I guess it is a natural path to evil...unless the 'person' runs ethically and morally...fingers are crossed. Or heaven help us, humans.
I actually agree with Chomsky but i would have one question: Let's say i'm a surgeon and i have a group of people assisting me. If i give them orders because i know what needs to be done, is that an example of totalitarianism?
No, they consent to that relationship. The problem is hierarchies of coercion not necessarily a chain of command. Can’t have an army of 100% atomized privates can we?
@@Zatzzo A non authoritarian chain of command is mutualist. The people "below" are typically for example, closer to the front lines directly focused on what's happening in front of them. They then rely on someone who organizes them from a broader perspective, and they also rely on the people below them to do their job properly, and then those managers or whatever have a tier above them who organize those managers, etc etc until you get the most broad view of the system necessary. All the people below continuously give consent to those organizing and representing them and vice versa. It's not a hierarchy of cercion or domination, but of scale with proportionate responsibility taken for how much power you hold. Same with a surgeon, only it's a different dynamic in the sense they they more closely serve the surgeon because you can't have like 4 people poking at the patient while one organizes them all, it's much more focused. Same for example, an athlete or formula racer. Everyone organizes to support one figure who is their catalyst, but they need to all do their job including that catalyst most of all. In an authoritarian system even if say the surgeon, general, formula racer, or whatever is incompetent, other people organizing to support them don't have the ability to have their say in the dynamic making it less efficient and harder for everyone to cooperate towards a shared goal.
some says he is controlled opposition,but if so,it does not matter,what matter is what he is laying out. He says the same as trump,nafta is a horrible deal,it is actually the opposite of what free trade is on several areas.
Publicly traded corporations which anybody can buy stock in freely are actually a type of socially-owned business. Individual proprietorship is a far more tyrannical business model.
Not if 1-2% owns those stocks. Its a very limited population that owns stock. 1-2% owns almost all riches in the world. That dictatorship not democracy

I have listened and read Chomsky for years now, and I keep hearing say "corporations this corporations that", but 2 things come to mind now. (1) He hasn't as of today mentioned the name of one single corporation. And (2) he never feels the need to sustain his claims with evidence. He just makes claims and is expected to be believed at face value.
Completely false. The evidence is in his footnotes. There's a whole second book in the footnotes. See "The Chomsky Reader." And what would be the point of mentioning an individual corporation by name when the problem is the system of corporate power?
IBM, Toshiba, Siemens he mentions in the first section about corporate alliances. To discuss that probably did require an example to be named, which he did.
I wonder does Chomsky not eat corporate vegetables? Does he not have a laptop, a phone? Does he not use a car, a train, a bus? Who the hell does he think makes these things?
@@RoyalKnightVIII We can find atrocities in any culture. So whats your point? Cannibalism, Tribal wars, Shrinking heads, murdering Monarchs, Government genocide of its citizens, stoning guillotines, scalping heads, driving people off cliffs or tearing beating hearts out of a human for the Gods. We can also find Greatness aswell. You just want to target peoples in the US because the West is your revolutionary target, but they aren't buying it they tolerated you for awhile now they are not.
I've listened to this many times. It's worth putting up with a little annoyance. The message should be told to Americans, who are so heavily propagandized that many of the ones who claim to be on the left spout right-wing propaganda without thinking or realizing they have taken the corporate position.

I think that until the major institutions of society are under the popular control of participants and communities, it's pointless to talk about democracy." - Noam Chomsky
"Capitalism’s concept of competitive man who seeks only to maximize wealth and power, who subjects himself to market relationships, to exploitation and external authority, is anti-human and intolerable in the deepest sense" - Noam Chomsky

We effect change and win with numbers. We out-number the 'elite' that is why they always try to divide. Don't fall for it. Organize! Mr. Chomsky hints at this throughout his countless speeches. Start local use the internet to connect and expand.

Hey he stole my sweater.
I wish I could consult Professor Chomsky on the ongoing outsourcing tactics utilizing our investments in standard social security, public education, and accountability currently outsourced for global socialization on our tax dollars across generations. Law is now AI. Public accountability is at an all time low without recourse. Very frustrating and sad to see.
Write him an email. He responds to everyone, usually within a day, it's quite remarkable. He just answered three questions I sent him on email, probably not more than a week ago. I can't grasp the intellectual tenacity this man has, truly something to aim for at the very least.
Chomsky is the greatest American philosopher of the last 50 years.
...I suppose that we find comfort in the belly of the beast.

Does anyone know what court case he's talking about near the end? That forces corporate board members to act solely for profits by law?
In Australia, all proprietary corporations are assumed to exist to create profit unless they have a stated objective to the contrary.
I'm reminded of this post i happened to see (i'm no expert). I also remember in the documentary 'The Corporation' there was the owner of the giant carpet company who said he legally couldn't change his business model (be more environmentally sustainable) if it wasn't for the fact that he also owned a majority of shares.

Dodge v. Ford is a rather famous example. Ford wanted to subsidize employee purchases of vehicles, Dodge, a shareholder, said that would decrease his profits. Court ruled in favour of Dodge.

This is visually obvious but it's even more scary when you hear people telling homeless people to "get a job". They dont care why that person is unemployed and poor.

It's all going around in a circle to me - no beginning or end point.
I actually agree with Chomsky but i would have one question: Let's say i'm a surgeon and i have a group of people assisting me. If i give them orders because i know what needs to be done, is that an example of totalitarianism?
No, they consent to that relationship. The problem is hierarchies of coercion not necessarily a chain of command. Can’t have an army of 100% atomized privates can we?
@@kx7500 People working for a "totalitarian" company (according to Chomsky) also consent to that relationship.
@@Zatzzo You should learn the difference between a chain of command and actual coercion or slavery.
@@kx7500 please tell me.
@@Zatzzo A non authoritarian chain of command is mutualist. The people "below" are typically for example, closer to the front lines directly focused on what's happening in front of them. They then rely on someone who organizes them from a broader perspective, and they also rely on the people below them to do their job properly, and then those managers or whatever have a tier above them who organize those managers, etc etc until you get the most broad view of the system necessary. All the people below continuously give consent to those organizing and representing them and vice versa. It's not a hierarchy of cercion or domination, but of scale with proportionate responsibility taken for how much power you hold. Same with a surgeon, only it's a different dynamic in the sense they they more closely serve the surgeon because you can't have like 4 people poking at the patient while one organizes them all, it's much more focused. Same for example, an athlete or formula racer. Everyone organizes to support one figure who is their catalyst, but they need to all do their job including that catalyst most of all. In an authoritarian system even if say the surgeon, general, formula racer, or whatever is incompetent, other people organizing to support them don't have the ability to have their say in the dynamic making it less efficient and harder for everyone to cooperate towards a shared goal.

Imagine defending corporation, a slave defending his master. Chomsky may you be with us for many years
Money has no race color. Bunch of greedy richs: corporations
some says he is controlled opposition,but if so,it does not matter,what matter is what he is laying out.
He says the same as trump,nafta is a horrible deal,it is actually the opposite of what free trade is on several areas.
Chomsky is nothing like trump
Publicly traded corporations which anybody can buy stock in freely are actually a type of socially-owned business. Individual proprietorship is a far more tyrannical business model.
Not if 1-2% owns those stocks. Its a very limited population that owns stock. 1-2% owns almost all riches in the world. That dictatorship not democracy
He's pretty good in cherry-picking.
Is that all you got?

I have listened and read Chomsky for years now, and I keep hearing say "corporations this corporations that", but 2 things come to mind now. (1) He hasn't as of today mentioned the name of one single corporation. And (2) he never feels the need to sustain his claims with evidence. He just makes claims and is expected to be believed at face value.
Lol why does that matter. And evidence? It’s fundamental fact, he’s literally just sitting what they are
Completely false. The evidence is in his footnotes. There's a whole second book in the footnotes. See "The Chomsky Reader." And what would be the point of mentioning an individual corporation by name when the problem is the system of corporate power?
I don't think he needs to.
IBM, Toshiba, Siemens he mentions in the first section about corporate alliances. To discuss that probably did require an example to be named, which he did.
I wonder does Chomsky not eat corporate vegetables? Does he not have a laptop, a phone? Does he not use a car, a train, a bus?
Who the hell does he think makes these things?
Thats such a whack argument

We can also find Greatness aswell. You just want to target peoples in the US because the West is your revolutionary target, but they aren't buying it they tolerated you for awhile now they are not.
Ever hear of the united fruit company?
Of course they do. They also fund it like many did during ww2 for the Nazis. Even after Pearl Harbor. American corporations and even chase bank.
Awful sound quality. Unlistenable.
I've listened to this many times. It's worth putting up with a little annoyance. The message should be told to Americans, who are so heavily propagandized that many of the ones who claim to be on the left spout right-wing propaganda without thinking or realizing they have taken the corporate position.
