What a privilege to listen to this great man. Especially what he has to say about language. His breadth of understanding surpasses anyone else's, and his ready memory of countless names of people, dates, books and facts relating to so many diverse topics and disciplines, is just amazing. Others may specialize in their own fields, but hardly anyone will ever speak so comprehensively again after him.
Agree. No one I can think of is as deep over such a range: philosophy, linguistics, biology, israel-palestine, socialism, political-economy, US foreign policy in Latin America
This is a great account by two fine thinkers of the birth of the field of cognitive science, and cognitive psychology. Both Noam Chomsky and Howard Gardner are intellectual and moral American treasures.
Thank you for posting the actual date this discussion took place, 10 Oct 2016. I have never seen Howard Gardner in conversation, but I do have his epub, "Theory of Multiple Intelligences" which I shall now get round to reading. Noam is still looking healthy, and that mind continues to be so well focused.
@@bkolumban He has published nearly 130 books, according to recent count. But many of them are books of transcribed talks. Even so, Chomsky in conversation is more profound than most professors are in their most polished essays.
i have been so amazed always by this brilliant man since my freshman days... now ive been a teacher, its been always my favorite topic.. Kodus to this masterpiece of God.. :)
I've learned a lot from Chomsky over the decades. Without detracting from his strengths, it's fair to say he has blind spots just like anyone. Knowing THAT fact is worthwhile knowledge. In other words, our wise elders may have valuable perspectives which society needs, but like all of us, they have a long way to go before they even approach the all-knowing status wrongly imputed to them by younger people. I'd guess Chomsky would agree.
i must say, although the white noise of the fan or whatever is making that background sound is annoying, it's less distracting than having constant coughing.
With my sacrifice 🙏🏼, what’s I wrote is by my thoughts in pictures and my feelings expressed from my experience. I learned English as a second language. It’s not good examples. But it’s my curiosity that I liked to find out what I doubt. I love to read and learn. I tried to find out the truth so I loved especially in the field of science, minds with morals and love to live with nature where in reality it’s paradoxically when I saw while I traveled with my family. We always lived at the borders provinces since my father was a Governor, near Burma, Cambodia and in time of the people ran away from Burma, Cambodia and also the Vietnam wars. I saw how much trouble they were. I always believe in Peace from my childhood as my father told me and help them as much as we can. For computers, it’s from my doubts and observation. I loved to live with my friends here 🙏🏼💕.
There is a horrible midtone sound in there aswell, like a high pitched tone. I think they can't increase his mic since it would increase the pitch tone and it overwhelms all other sound.
24:00 Reminds me of a horribly cheesy joke my undergrad cognitive psych. professor told us: "Two behaviourists are laying in bed after having sex and one says to the other, 'I know that was good for you, but was it good for me?'" Got as many laughs as you'd expect.
Where is Jenie today ? anyone know ? I was doing some research on her and I could not find info on where she ended up after Jenie was removed out of Susan's program by the California authorities. I know she went to her mothers at 18, then adult care homes, then gone. I have always wondered where she ended up and if she is ok, I was so disgusted in how she was treated and shipped about, so sad.
Does Noam Chomsky want people to listen to him? This is the nth video I've run where I can't make out what he is saying what with his low volume and vocal fry. I'm giving up at 17.12
I was just listening to Michael Parenti and he made a comment that one of his dreams in life was to speak at a college who had its sound figured out. It's not like the speakers are setting up the microphones and recording. But yes, this has brutal background noise and I'm about to give up too. It sounds like the mic is sitting in front of a fan.

@Anzay Warid: Absolutely, prof. Chomsky is a real pleasure to listen to. His capabilities on his age is just unique + amazing.
Indeed !
Agree. No one I can think of is as deep over such a range: philosophy, linguistics, biology, israel-palestine, socialism, political-economy, US foreign policy in Latin America
Agree. He’s irreplaceable
It is a real pleasure to watch the conversation with Noam Chomsky and Howard Gardner!!!!!!!!
This is a great account by two fine thinkers of the birth of the field of cognitive science, and cognitive psychology. Both Noam Chomsky and Howard Gardner are intellectual and moral American treasures.
I totally agree

Noam is still looking healthy, and that mind continues to be so well focused.
Immortality of Chomsky's & Gardner's innovations in language & psychology.

Thankyou x
Wow, I didn’t realise that you could just click on the time link to skip all the introduction waffle. 😁

What a pleasure to watch this. Thank you
Let's try to listen aa much as we can from this man before we lose him ... i hope un a very long time! ... what a human!
He has written more than 90 books; we will never lose him.
@@bkolumban He has published nearly 130 books, according to recent count. But many of them are books of transcribed talks. Even so, Chomsky in conversation is more profound than most professors are in their most polished essays.
@@bkolumban each book more useless than the previous.
thank you very much indeed Noam and Howard. I myself owe you a lot for what I know.

Sitting here late at night in Deep South Carolina.
Getting all "Lerned-Up".
Thank you sincerely for making this available.
Same here. South Carolina has many nationally known politicians. Maybe it's already more "learned up" then some people think.
@@paulwillisorg Lindsey Graham is an angry little man who doesn't come off as all too learned.
Two great people.

Still very valuable to me. Noams own way of understanding himself, even understanding origin of the affair we are all in.
Is it weird that I am having a tiny fan girl moment here?...
No.
Yes
Maybe
No I love them too & I’m 50
i must say, although the white noise of the fan or whatever is making that background sound is annoying, it's less distracting than having constant coughing.
I should be making cooking videos but here I am swimming in the oceanic knowledge of two great minds.
Thank you so much for this xox

A quiet giant.

Wow:)
Could you not increase the gain on Chomsky's mic? The host is loud and clear, but I can barely hear Noam. Good job.
Maybe you should use your interdimensional powers instead to go back to this event and raise the gain on his mic? Gosh, G-Men these days..
There is a horrible midtone sound in there aswell, like a high pitched tone. I think they can't increase his mic since it would increase the pitch tone and it overwhelms all other sound.
He tells us everything that means nothing , and has no outcome or bearing on anything..

I think every undergraduate psychology student gets told that joke by some psych professor at some point.
Is there any transcription of this conference?, because it's very difficult to follow. It's a pity.
Which part in particular?
@@kyuradorinuddlecourt5063 The sound is difficult to follow, specially at the begining.
Turn on close captioning [CC]
Are they still alive?
Yes
Yes but Chomsky is in his 90s and is looking pretty rough.
@@CIARUNSITE still very sharp, though
So language is innate, another instinctive human function like walking or swallowing. Is logic?
It's tee time 😉👍

Hi MIke, Thank you for the update and info link, I thought she would still be with us, I just hope she is well and happy. XOX
i thought i just saw a free youtube movie of her story a few weeks ago.
The sound is awful.. Even my love for Chomsky doesn't make me to keep watching/ listening to this🙄
Unbelievable
To bad none of the questions were well articulated.
Does Noam Chomsky want people to listen to him? This is the nth video I've run where I can't make out what he is saying what with his low volume and vocal fry. I'm giving up at 17.12

"That was the photograph of the thin man in the concen- eh, buh, behind the barbed wire..." - Chomsky on Serbian TV
:-D
what a charlatan
noam chomsky....what a dissapointment!!! he can hardly speak
