"I didn't know any languages - I'm not that kind of a linguist.' Worth noting. I don't object to her interrupting. He seems to be having a good time. It's a conversation, not a formal interview, and there's a relaxed, more intimate feeling, which is unusual in interviews with Noam Chomsky, and nice. .

[@bucketiii7581]

He clearly does understand other languages, though. You can see it in other videos. That was a very common thing with people from dense and urban immigrant hubs in the early 1900s, much as people in European tourist cities commonly speak several languages to varying degrees.

I wish this were 5 hours longer and that she stopped interrupting him (!)

So annoying

[@headlessfool7050]

If she would have just stopped asking questions when he already started to answer, and would have stopped the annoying leading questions while he was already answering,. it would have been so much better . The man is an Icon, a phenomenon, for heavens sake let him speak and listen .

[@assmosis4573]

You’re so wrong. Wouldn’t it have been more polite on his part to let her finish asking her question? Not sure how you were raised but I don’t care who the person is, the polite thing to do is to let the other person stop talking before you open your mouth.

@@ouinur being polite is being polite. Interview or conversation. The concept is the same. Have some respect for an individual no matter who you think you are. Pretty simple.

All these high level intellectuals are very intelligent to be sure but they all seem so strange. Nerds is an understatement. They just seem very odd and strange. Great ASMR though… which is what brought me here

[@edwardjones2202]

e.g?

[@haveaseatplease]

Interesting view, could you elaborate on the strangeness?

[@Andy-hb3zp]

Yeah if by odd and strange you mean outside of the ordinary, then yes that's to be expected. They do a lot of reading and writing and spend much more time alone than most people. That's the sacrifice of being a great intellectual

Huh?.. he's a professor, worked at MIT all his life, wtf kind of question ?

[@jodalinkus5538]

So MIT and it's remarkable reputation for academic excellence has had a very multifarious , contemporary path to development. With a tremendous inosculation of disciplines from manifold academic domains to become globally reputable.

[@frankienorthtroptriton4771]

Nice thesaurus picking you pretentious dork

[@mustafakandan2103]

I wish he only confined himself to linguistics. His political thought is lamentable.

[@GoldenGateNum9]

Lamentable?, in what way?

[@terrytari1891]

The person that is interviewing Noam is horrible. She won't let Noam talk after she ask him questions!

[@lincoln6981]

So much vocal fry. Not asmr for me
