/lit/ - Literature

Why does he pretend to be an anarchist(someone in favor of an emergent polycentric legal order) when he is in fact, an authoritarian radical democrat statist?

What are some /beg/ books on linguistics?
I really find it fun to figure out meanings of
words through their etymology. If not meaning
at least their origin

Thoughts on this world renowned dissident?t

>soviet union is right wing
Is he right?

If you could ask mr chomsky any question, what would you ask him?

Has anyone here tried to debate this guy through email?

writers who were so unarguably right everyone just ignores them.

Is his stuff worth reading or is he a meme?

What are the best books on the history of language?

My time has come..

In what book does he explain why it totally didn't happen?

how come nobody talks about him anymore
back in the day it was him and zizek as the cool. dudes

>people who /lit/ told you were cringe but are actually based
Noam is more redpilled than any of you niggers

*blocks your path*

Literally where do I start with him?

>"Since no one has succeeded in showing me what I'm missing, we're left with the second option: I'm just incapable of understanding. I'm certainly willing to grant that it may be true, though I'm afraid I'll have to remain suspicious, for what seem good reasons. There are lots of things I don't understand -- say, the latest debates over whether neutrinos have mass or the way that Fermat's last theorem was (apparently) proven recently. But from 50 years in this game, I have learned two things: (1) I can ask friends who work in these areas to explain it to me at a level that I can understand, and they can do so, without particular difficulty; (2) if I'm interested, I can proceed to learn more so that I will come to understand it. Now Derrida, Lacan, Lyotard, Kristeva, etc. --- even Foucault, whom I knew and liked, and who was somewhat different from the rest --- write things that I also don't understand, but (1) and (2) don't hold: no one who says they do understand can explain it to me and I haven't a clue as to how to proceed to overcome my failures. That leaves one of two possibilities: (a) some new advance in intellectual life has been made, perhaps some sudden genetic mutation, which has created a form of "theory" that is beyond quantum theory, topology, etc., in depth and profundity; or (b) ... I won't spell it out."

Why couldn't he into postmodernism?
