      What we see in intellectuals like Noam. It is easy to read Noam as a creature. Noam lays it all out with not his grand puzzle. We just seen all the missing pieces. Noam and Marx act superior, smart material linguistics that mean nothing. It is all internal constructed nonsense of made up linguistics. Nothing applies to the real world nor has it been applied in reality! All the
      fantasies of Marx and Noam. Are monuments to failure. That is are main problem with intellectuals! It is great to have big creative fun wild thinking . However, if you can not get it to work in the real world after 175 years. Better stop thinking and start testing on a small scale then improve on working applications. Your super big untested big ideas just end up killing people. Like this video points out. ruclips.net/video/UnkMA0l7Af8/видео.html
      Noam's base-line soul and his books are based on big envy, anger and using big violence to obtain his untested contentment. Just like Marx. That is very easy to see. He covers it up with overly complex meaningless linguistics. None of his words are tested in reality. Call him on that fact and he will fall back into a corner. He is just a poet. Dreamers love mad poets.
      I am an engineer. I am not great just one of millions in the world. If you want to make a bridge. Most of the time you base your idea on past bridges that worked. You refine the design based on geological tests. Wind tests, material testing, Finite Element Analysis testing. Live load testing, in-process construction testing ect. ect. Most engineers do not consider them self's intellectuals. nor do they like to be called intellectuals are all theory. An engineer is happy when he see's the mile long bridge across a bay transporting millions of cars and truck for many many years in safety. The Workers that build the bridge get the satisfaction of knowing they built that dang thing. These underlying applied realities to make something work do not exist in the minds of Noam, Marxists or most intellectuals.

    Excellent Discussion between Professors Noam Chomsky and Lawrence Krauss, kindred spirits in the search for truth and liberty in a world that is always at a critical crossroads between enlightenment, creativity and peace to irrationality, destruction and aggression. It is really great to see the two of these great men in discussion about everything from human intelligence, social structures to conflict and aggression and the development of our civilization both technologically and morally and the responsibility of intellectuals to seek the truth and expose lies no matter what authorities say.

      Ray N Today is of course Holocaust remembrance day. Critics like Keith Harman Snow critique what he calls the Holocaust Industry; and the profits being made off of countless heinous murders. Contrast that with zero collective memory in the West about the murder of Cambodians by the Khmer Rouge. First hand accounts such as this put into acute contrast the wildly differing results of mass genocide on a population years later. Needless to say both are disturbing.

Trump brings troops home from Syria, Orange Man bad. Well Chomsky which one is it? Maybe Chomsky should think a little deeper. Krauss isn’t much better. Krauss tells us that the universe came from nothing. Krauss couldn’t tell us where life comes from. He couldn’t create a single protein let alone a complete cell.

      Birds of a feather flock together =
      Once a friend of presidents, the ultra-rich and the elite of Wall Street’s bankers - plus a major benefactor to Harvard University - Jeffrey Epstein handled portfolios estimated to be worth over $15 billion. Then he became ensnared in a scandal involving the sexual abuse of underage girls. He is seen here, pre-scandal, at left, in conversation with Alan Dershowitz, one of America’s best-known legal experts and a Harvard Law professor emeritus, at a Cambridge event. Dershowitz became a key member of Epstein’s legal team.

    As someone who loves learning and the pursuit of knowledge, and who has an appreciation of critical thinking, I highly value Chomsky's take on deflating your ability to orate efficaciously in order that people value what you say, and not just how you say it. At the same time, your burden is passing along the idea of critical thinking. And if the benefactor doesnt already possess, then you have to be oratorically persuasive. It like the epitome of irony. I love the whole landscape painted by these two artists, and crave more of it.

      @@Creamy6oodness You might very well. During college, I had to smoke a cigarette each break to slow my brain down to be able to withstand the slow pace of the courses. I learned way more spending time in the library, studying all the books on a matter I could find, solving problems on my own.
      But that's also where I believe Chomsky makes a mistake. Not everybody is built this way. Most of my fellow students were not interested in doing that huge intellectual effort. They were much more interested in getting knowledge poured into their heads like a liquid. Also, only a few of the professors were able to each me by just watching over my shoulder, telling me that there's another book I should read, or that what I was looking into might be connected to some other field I may want to look into, and just very discreetly guiding me, based on the huge knowledge they themselves had already accumulated, at the same time being humble about it.
      If we'd rely on the few professors of this kind, and on the few students who are willing and able to learn this way, we'd still be in the middle ages, and modern science would be magic to most people.

      What we see in intellectuals like Noam. It is easy to read Noam as a creature. Noam lays it all out with not his grand puzzle. We just seen all the missing pieces. Noam and Marx act superior, smart material linguistics that mean nothing. It is all internal constructed nonsense of made up linguistics. Nothing applies to the real world nor has it been applied in reality! All the
      fantasies of Marx and Noam. Are monuments to failure. That is are main problem with intellectuals! It is great to have big creative fun wild thinking . However, if you can not get it to work in the real world after 175 years. Better stop thinking and start testing on a small scale then improve on working applications. Your super big untested big ideas just end up killing people. Like this video points out. ruclips.net/video/UnkMA0l7Af8/видео.html
      Noam's base-line soul and his books are based on big envy, anger and using big violence to obtain his untested contentment. Just like Marx. That is very easy to see. He covers it up with overly complex meaningless linguistics. None of his words are tested in reality. Call him on that fact and he will fall back into a corner. He is just a poet. Dreamers love mad poets.
      I am an engineer. I am not great just one of millions in the world. If you want to make a bridge. Most of the time you base your idea on past bridges that worked. You refine the design based on geological tests. Wind tests, material testing, Finite Element Analysis testing. Live load testing, in-process construction testing ect. ect. Most engineers do not consider them self's intellectuals. nor do they like to be called intellectuals are all theory. An engineer is happy when he see's the mile long bridge across a bay transporting millions of cars and truck for many many years in safety. The Workers that build the bridge get the satisfaction of knowing they built that dang thing. These underlying applied realities to make something work do not exist in the minds of Noam, Marxists or most intellectuals.

    This was a great conversation. I wasn't aware that Noam was also interested in science because I have been living under a rock for a decade. He explains the connections between linguistics, behavioral science, and physics so concisely. Sometimes people think I am not paying attention because I seem to get lost in thought but in the truth I am just busying processing their words and picking apart their internal process. Which may stem from my years editing. I think the words people choose out of all the probabilities of word order are interesting. One just has to be careful not to jump to conclusions and to not make a defined judgement based on their interpretation of what those choices mean because there are always exceptions, lost in translations, and bias.

    There is not enough that I can say about Noam Chomsky that can trump the plaudits bestowed on him. This video was recently shot at ASU as part of a series hosted and led by Lawrence Krauss, himself not just a noted physicist, but a public intellectual as well. If you believe that there is another way for the world to revolve than the out of control spin set in motion by the current global and economic crisis, then you must avail yourself of this interview, done in two parts, the first of which is linked here. Chomsky is a "public intellectual", a term he deserves. However, he is not your average snooty, ten dollar word upper crust sort, and that is really part of what makes him different, and his thoughts accessible. He does not get enough credit for the manner in which he communicates, the attractiveness of his logic, and the common sense that his opinions reflect. If you are attracted to what he has to say, and you feel as I do about his style of rhetoric, I highly recommend that you encourage others with concerns about the future of the world we live in, to put aside their initial abhorrence of the word intellectual, and their hatred for elitism, and just listen for five minutes to what he has to say. Chomsky's words need to be proliferated far beyond the world of the already converted. He needs to be heard by the masses of people who are the power base on which change can evolve.

      I really liked it that Krauss did this discussion. I bet Krauss has many followers who have never heard of Chomsky, so I'm glad he did it. And good that he didn't turned it into an endless discussion about religion.

    • @sociallyconscientous
      @sociallyconscientous 9 лет назад +1

      I'll second your comments on both counts. Krauss, as a "star" of the ASU series, does a great job with his discussion approach to bringing out the ideas of those who sit in the chair next to him on stage. One admonition of course, and that is that he has guests on who he admires so there isn't a sense that you have to brace yourself hard for the antagonistic question that you think may be coming. After all, he's talking to a friend, and that friend has good, solid and meaningful things to say. So it just seems to flow with Krauss's approach. And yes, let us not put that threadbare discussion of religion on the docket. There are plenty of other opportunities to air out the scientists grievances against religion.

      George Aponick
      Christopher Hitchens on Chomsky:
      '[Chomsky] has now been impeached by his own standards, since scrutiny of the evidence does not bear him out on Serbia or Afghanistan or Iraq. It didn't bear him out on Cambodia either, though he was never a "Holocaust denier" or anything like it. And he has, I think, ceased to be of any use to young people who might pardonably doubt the official story.'
      'My quarrel with Chomsky goes back to the Balkan wars of the 1990s, where he more or less openly represented the "Serbian Socialist Party" (actually the national-socialist and expansionist dictatorship of Slobodan Milosevic) as the victim. Many of us are proud of having helped organize to prevent the slaughter and deportation of Europe's oldest and largest and most tolerant Muslim minority, in Bosnia-Herzegovina and in Kosovo. But at that time, when they were real, Chomsky wasn't apparently interested in Muslim grievances. He only became a voice for that when the Taliban and Al Qaeda needed to be represented in their turn as the victims of a "silent genocide" in Afghanistan. Let me put it like this, if a supposed scholar takes the Christian-Orthodox side when it is the aggressor, and then switches to taking the "Muslim" side when Muslims commit mass murder, I think that there is something very nasty going on. And yes, I don't think it is exaggerated to describe that nastiness as "anti-American" when the power that stops and punishes both aggressions is the United States … In some awful way, his regard for the underdog has mutated into support for mad dogs. This is not at all like watching the implosion of an obvious huckster and jerk like Michael Moore, who would have made a perfectly good Brownshirt populist. The collapse of Chomsky feels to me more like tragedy'

      Thank you for the insight you presented quoting Christopher Hitchens who I also admire for the intellect and insight he displayed during his tragically shortened life. That said, nobody is perfect in their representations or perceptions about complex international issues. I certainly will follow up on this quote and research it in its larger context. There are a couple responses I'd like to present. First, Hitchens let me down when he evolved out of his socialist positions. He also disappointed me when he supported the criminal invasion of Iraq. He declared that we were somehow saving the Middle East from a savage dictator. I opposed the war from the beginning and wrote that it would be the disaster it turned out to be for all peoples of the area. I've not been to Iraq but I have been to the West Bank and I was appalled by the mistreatment of Arab Muslims at the hands of a government supported by the U.S. and I would then suppose, Christopher Hitchens. One other comment, and I suppose more of a question, and I would like to know, after following Chomsky, what is your opinion generally of Chomsky's views on the world we live in and the problems we face. I'm not presenting the question as a challenge, but rather an honest want of trying to understanding of your points of view.
      I hope you are able to read this and respond.

      What we see in intellectuals like Noam. It is easy to read Noam as a creature. Noam lays it all out with not his grand puzzle. We just seen all the missing pieces. Noam and Marx act superior, smart material linguistics that mean nothing. It is all internal constructed nonsense of made up linguistics. Nothing applies to the real world nor has it been applied in reality! All the
      fantasies of Marx and Noam. Are monuments to failure. That is are main problem with intellectuals! It is great to have big creative fun wild thinking . However, if you can not get it to work in the real world after 175 years. Better stop thinking and start testing on a small scale then improve on working applications. Your super big untested big ideas just end up killing people. Like this video points out. ruclips.net/video/UnkMA0l7Af8/видео.html
      Noam's base-line soul and his books are based on big envy, anger and using big violence to obtain his untested contentment. Just like Marx. That is very easy to see. He covers it up with overly complex meaningless linguistics. None of his words are tested in reality. Call him on that fact and he will fall back into a corner. He is just a poet. Dreamers love mad poets.
      I am an engineer. I am not great just one of millions in the world. If you want to make a bridge. Most of the time you base your idea on past bridges that worked. You refine the design based on geological tests. Wind tests, material testing, Finite Element Analysis testing. Live load testing, in-process construction testing ect. ect. Most engineers do not consider them self's intellectuals. nor do they like to be called intellectuals are all theory. An engineer is happy when he see's the mile long bridge across a bay transporting millions of cars and truck for many many years in safety. The Workers that build the bridge get the satisfaction of knowing they built that dang thing. These underlying applied realities to make something work do not exist in the minds of Noam, Marxists or most intellectuals.

    On topics I know something about, like the Taliban, I take what Chomsky says with a grain of salt. The Taliban were created by the Pakistani ISI. Taliban religious ideology, influenced heavily by Deobandi and so-called Wahabi dogma, is foreign to Afghans as well. The Taliban also destroyed the tribal system of consensus and eliminated the traditional role of women in Afghan society. The Taliban never controlled all of Afghanistan, either. (Their counterparts, The Northern Alliance eventually drove them out of Kabul, not US troops) The Taliban gave open support to bin Laden to set up terrorist training camps in Afghanistan, knowing full well UBL's enmity towards the West and the US. And then there is their horrible human rights record, and the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas. Does anyone really think the Taliban would have been fair-minded and reasonable negotiators? Yet in spite of all this, Chomsky reacts in mock puzzlement at the US not taking their "offer" to turn over bin Laden seriously. As if the Taliban had the political or moral authority or will to do such a thing. I follow Chomsky, but cannot agree with him here. His one-size-fits-all argument about the US being the progenitor of every conflict in the world comes off as a default response.

      Esteban Nemo Condemning U.S. attack on Afghanistan in 2001 is like condemning U.S. attack on France in 1944. Some people have a view that if U.S. intervenes in something, everything that follows is their fault. If the U.S. does not intervene (like in Rwanda) then everything also is their fault. Some actually blame U.S: on what ISIS does.

      It's really not. At all. You could make a case that the US invasion of Normandy was justified. You cannot make the same case with the US invasion of Afghanistan, which was totally unjustified.

    • @estebannemo1957
      @estebannemo1957 9 лет назад +2

      Well, it's an interesting analogy (though not one I would have made) and I think there are parallels, but really, it was the Northern Alliance, the Afghans themselves, that overthrew the Taliban, not US troops. America deployed limited special forces during the invasion and provided the Northern Alliance with air support and artillery. But getting back to the WW2 analogy, in a sense Afghanistan was liberated during the 2001 invasion as France was back during D-Day. At least we can say 15 million Afghans were liberated that day- the female population.

    Chomsky's point about leaving out theatrics in speech is something I've always believed in. If you're trying to teach, leave any charisma or eloquence out of it. These are nothing more but emotional appeals. That isn't teaching, it's manipulating.

I recently had the most boring lectures with an old professor who was pretty much talking to himself about theory of literature (my kinda thing) with monotone voice and no "theathre" and I literally remember nothing. I was sleeping. But maybe he wasn't just good in verbalizing his thoughts and then a very energetic, quick, intense and fun lectures with another professor about cognitive and generative grammar (not my kinda thing, but not anymore) and I was so exited about this topic. I think you need to find a nice balance between not being "too much" and being boring to death.

    It's amazing (or self-evident) that intellectuals like these two guys are never an important part of the political "process". Noam Chomsky has written 100+ books on the subject, and is roundly criticized and/or dismissed when the forum is political. If intellect and open-mindedness became an important part of our public discourse, then an AMAZING culture could be realized in the USA. Everyone is so busy with "one-upmanship" and how much fucking MONEY can you earn, that being a thinking human being doesn't matter anymore. This sort of interview/debate/lecture CONVERSATION should be mandatory viewing for everyone who is registered to vote. We might be able to weed out the scum that don't deserve an elected "office".
