His review of verbal behavior is held to be one of the most devastating and complete critiques in the history of cognitive science.
>Chomsky's review has come to be regarded as one of the foundational documents of the discipline of cognitive psychology, and even after the passage of twenty-five years it is considered the most important refutation of behaviorism.

I still own a huge body of his work because I was into radical politics when I was younger but the bloom has really fallen off them.

They are written well enough, and he gives them some scholarly veneer with citations, but they would get middling grades at a high quality pol sci program and wouldn't represent good graduate, let alone political work. He does way, way too much of assuming people's intent based on how he views their self interests and personal motivations.

In most cases, he doesn't even bother to do anything like a side study of open source, declassified, or leaked documents to make his case. Supposition is good enough.

After all, when you've decided on the point you want to make first first, and are just looking for supporting evidence, it's easy just to project immoral causes on to your perceived adversaries.

Thus, the intent of the Clinton administration in the Balkans, Caterpillar vis-á-vis labor relations, etc. can all just be inferred. No need to read memoirs or do any psychological profiles, just project what a selfish person would say to justify their actions onto your description.

The biggest lapse is in his being incredibly naive in thinking that policy makers aren't themselves sometimes naive idealists who fuck up out of good intentions.

He never offers good counter factuals either. How would Chomsky have brought peace to Afghanistan or ended poverty in Mexico? Once we were in Iraq after term one of Bush II, how does he get us out and not have a huge blood letting? He doesn't like the surge, but what is he for?

We never know because it isn't serious diplomatic history, serious pol sci, or serious policy. It's the moral ramblings of someone who want to put forth a manichean good versus evil narrative with just enough complexity and nuance in it to keep the uniformed reader thinking they are getting secret knowledge.

Jewish intellectual culture has two precursors. One, the study and reproduction of the Torah entails the Talmud and other related texts, so that by reading, writing, citing, comparing and contrasting texts, you're effectively doing the core function of academic work already by this point.

Cognitive science definitely over over-corrected in its rejection of Skinnerian behaviorism following Chomsky's take down however in my view. Just because operant conditioning does not apply to verbal behavior does not mean it is does not apply elsewhere I predict a neobehaviorist upswing in the coming decades.
Chomsky's rebuke was partly scientific but also ideological. He was triggered by Skinner's sociopolitical theories he exposited in Beyond Freedom and Dignity even though first worlders are now living in a digital app convenience economy essentially build on it and the software industry is one giant skinner box of operant conditioning and behavioral reinforcement. Though there is an ambiguity between Chomsky's normative disagreements (this is how we should live) and his epistemological disagreements (behaviorism is factually untrue). Behaviorism is certainly true, what needs to be rejected is Skinner's "radical behaviorism" which Dan Dennet calls "greedy reductionism" --- trying to explain everything with just one idea and not diversifying one's theoretical explanatory portfolio to accomodate for true complexity

And that is what I am contending: the Jews of Europe did not have this.

Just as the majority of Jewish merchants were complete failures, the majority of Jews are not scholars, nor was there even a grand scholarly tradition.

He never lets anyone, especially anyone with a stake in power, get away with talking about what they're doing as if it's anything other than being murderous liars.

This is such a bizarre kind of criticism to me.

I never quite understand why people say this as his principles and parameters approach is still the dominant paradigm in instruction of undergraduate linguistics classes on generative grammar. The text I learned generative grammar from cites Chomsky in literally every single chapter. His most cited work ever is the 2014 version of his Aspects, and pic rel demonstrates that Chomsky's citations are only growing. It's such a baseless claim that anyone who invokes "chomsky's ideas have been discredited and are no longer en vogue in academic linguistics" discredits only themselves.
Nonetheless, Chomsky's ideas could prove to be empirically and theoretically invalid, and saying "chomsky has been debunked" would be about as insightful and informative as "aristotle has been debunked".
>>20095671
You may as well ask if Newton is worthwhile. Chomsky is one of the ten most cited intellectuals in history; that's a list which ranks him in influence among Freud, Hegel, and Aristotle. There is of course some recency bias in the volume of citations he's received and his position of comparative influence will not persist decades from now. And it is true that Noam Chomsky no longer has a stranglehold on like 4 different academic disciplines. Nonetheless he will forever be remembered as one of the 3 or 4 most penetrating and dynamic thinkers of the 20th century.
It is very uncommon to find intellectuals who completely repudiate their previous work. It is virtually unheard of to find someone who does this 3 times. The straightforward transformational program of Syntactic Structures was upended by the quasi-mysticism of Aspects of Syntactic Structures. His Lectures on Government and Binding pivoted his thought towards the principles and parameters approach (which holds that the deep structure of language consists of a number of abstract laws with different parameters which are like switches turned on or off depending on a particular language) and he ended the most innovative part of his career by introducing the minimalist program. But the independent thinkers on this board are blind to all of this because Chosmky criticized the US government.

these guys are right >>20095984 >>20095540. Chomsky started his career off by deploying a generative theory of linguistics, which was one of the main reasons psych moved away from behaviourism. His work on linguistics started off the modern version of the discipline. The main question of linguistics shifted away from a structural "what is a language made up of", to a more cognitive "what is it about our mind that causes languages to do what they do?". Versions of his grammar trees are still taught today. The value of linguistic work can't be understated.

Importantly, he should also be read as a cautionary tale of being terminally polbrained. Even a guy as smart as him can fall victim to being hyped up by crowds of retards while overestimating one's ability to contribute to a field he is uneducated in.

I think the first part of your post was pretty solid but Chomsky isn't doing anything intellectually controversial in his political work. All he's doing is consistently pointing out US acts of aggression against the developing world. His propaganda model of the media is so innocent, literally just "businesses want to please their customers and the customers of the mass media are corporations who also have interests in promoting american imperialism". I'm asking you because you seem to be not a retard which is exceptional in threads about Chomsky: what do you find so unobjectionable about his extracurricular career?

>isn't doing anything intellectually controversial in his political work
Honestly, this statement is so silly, you've kind of exposed yourself as being subject to the Dunning-Krueger effect.
I'll try to respond point by point.
>US acts of aggression against the developing world
Your framing of the situation already reveals how deep in the rabbit hole you are. What Chomsky in his political work consistently fails to convey to his ignorant readers is that the US was not "aggression against the third world" (whatever that even means),but taking sides in various third world civil wars against Soviet-backed movements in those countries. In so doing the US aligned itself with a bunch of very and authoritarian groups over the years. You're right in the sense that that part of his work is not really controversial. But he consistently rips these actions out of their context but downplaying or even justifying whatever the Soviets were doing at the same time, denying the agency of non-US actors in these countries, and ignoring numerous examples of the US acting as a restraining influence on its authoritarian client states and pressuring them to democratize as soon as the Soviet threat dissipated.
His propaganda model is largely a series of non-sequitur complaints about how CNN doesn't give him enough airtime for him to lecture people about why American should implement the philosophy of Peter Kropotkin. Neo-Nazis can and do make very similar complaints about the media.
And if you actually read his stuff on the media it's full of insinuated equivalences between Western media and state-controlled media in totalitarian societies, but as with so much of what he says, he refuses to explicitly say whether his position is really that extreme, it's far easier to just insinuate the extreme position. That way you can get your most insane followers to buy your books, while also claiming your critics are straw-manning you.
His thoughts on economics are absolutely batty and frankly incoherent. He calls himself an anarchist, but also has said and this is a direct quote "I want to increase the power of the federal government."

This comes from a somewhat sensible place, though. Red scare alarmism had been abused for decades to grant the US carte blanche in overthrowing regimes, even when there was no strong communist influence. Ousting Mosaddegh in Iran is a good example, where the American anxiety over the Soviets was directly exploited by the British to undermine a democratically elected government and to seize Iranian resources.
Chomsky simply rejects that the Soviets were ever as significant a force as American foreign policy required them to be to justify its imperialistic actions abroad. Even if they were, I think he has some moral disagreements about the concept of interventionism and how it intersects with self-interest.
>and pressuring them to democratize as soon as the Soviet threat dissipated
So long as the results of those democratic elections don't swing too far left, as they often did in Latin America.

>So long as the results of those democratic elections don't swing too far left, as they often did in Latin America. There's an entire section in Manufacturing Consent about election tampering in Central America and how the media alleges the presence of some subversive communist plot should the organic result ever tend toward socialism.
Again, this is an incoherent statement. There were subversive communist (i.e. Soviet-backed) plots all over Latin America and the Third World. The implication that all these third world leftists the US crushed were really believers in Chomsky's super obscure, untested, totally-not-like-the-Soviet-system version of socialism is a fantasy. Ironically, the one country ever came closest to implementing his bottom-up, anti-statist version of socialism was a key American ally throughout the Cold War and beyond and also the country he hates almost as much as his own, Israel.

I was taught in sociolinguistics that Chomsky's linguistics were old-fashioned and didn't give a clear picture about how language really worked. I emailed him about what he thought about sociolinguistics and he just told me to sift through it as best I could. He seems to have said sociolinguistics was bunk when it started, but it still persists today.

I've decided to take pity on you, Mr. Seething Nazbol. I'm going to respond to the one impotent attempt you made at forming a coherent argument, just because I don't want you to come away from this thread operating under the delusion that somehow "won" this "argument". Nothing makes me sadder than watching people wallow in the dungeons of the Dunning-Kruger effect. The fact that your teeny weeny little incel mind failed to process the point I was making does not mean I was being "disingenuous" (you and I both know that is pure projection. I know that deep down you are completely aware of the fact the points you made throughout this thread are totally irrational, incoherent, frivolous, red herring diversions from the real issues. You are somebody who violates the rules of civil, rational discourse constantly and knowingly. You do it because your irrational views bring you the emotional satisfaction that comes from being able to blame nefarious outside actors for your own personal failures, which I can only assume have been numerous. You lash out against people with accusations of doing the same as a defense mechanism to assuage your own internal guilt about being a conscious fraud.) Your analogy about Nazis taking shits is a false and misleading one, since people who are calm, fact-based, and rational in their analysis of the world do that too. But since Neo-Nazis are among the most intellectually corrupt people on the planet, if you find yourself in agreement with them, or thinking similarly to them, you ought to reexamine your own intellectual processes. Because while possible, it is intrinsically unlikely a Neo-Nazi could be right about any political issue, since thinking in a systematically irrational and dishonest manner about politics is part of the job description of being a Nazi. The fact that media's center-left propaganda effectively filters out Chomsky's far-left propaganda, and Nazi Third Way, or other types of worse propaganda is only an interesting observation if you think those ideologies have anything constructive to offer the world. I don't. I think Chomsky is a dishonest thinker. He's ultimately a political activist, not an intellectual. I think his views on economic and foreign policy, if implemented, would lead to even worse disasters than what we have now. So the fact that the media keeps his rambling bullshit away from the more gullible members of the public who get their opinions from cable news, is frankly, a good thing in my view.

You are a pseudointellectual garbage butthurt Jew. Let's look at this claim, which is a better analogy to your dumb one:
"Neo-nazis do and make very similar complaints about environmental devastation brought from unsustainable use of technology."
I guess we should destroy all of nature then because there were Nazis who cared about it like Savitri Devi!
You're basically arguing people should care about nothing like the purity of the oceans, the health of the planet, or whatever. People should just spend their time crying over the oppression of Jews or whatever bullshit, you oversocialized freak.
Jews like you and Ben Shapiro are manifestations of pure evil. You are the biggest pseuds not worth taking seriously. Honestly the best thing you can do for your trash people is not run your pseudointellectual mouth.

Yeah probably but he was threatened at some point and became a tool of the system.

He was threatened or something. There's nothing else that makes sense of his positions. Also

Conspiracy theories exist outside the realm of scientific falsifiability, absolutely no one looks goodcoming out of them. Even in 9/11 there are so many levels of conspiracies and everyone has their own proof.

>can't blame him for not wanting to touch it
I guess but he's held himself up as this totally uncompromised investigative academic who's just following the facts where they lead. His position on 9/11 has been "anyone who doubt any aspect of the official narrative is insane because it's impossible that anything else was at play". If he just wanted to bow out he could just say "I don't feel I have enough information to make conclusions about that" or even "that issue is fraught, it's not something I want to spend time on". Instead his position has been explicitly "anyone who doubts any aspect of the official narrative is insane".
>Especially when you consider from a moral perspective how trivial 9/11 is to any actual war.
The number of lives lost is irrelevant. It has enormous implications for the exact kind of ideas Chomsky advances about the parasitic and abusive nature of government, and it was used to justify a decade of middle east war and domestic police state expansion which chomsky made many years of his writing career complaining about.

No, not really. You seem to have forgotten that false dichotomy arguments are a fallacy. Moderate environmentalists are pretty sensible people who provide needed pushback against the excesses of industrialization. The more extreme, nature-worshipping environmentalists who, like Hitler (I don't know much Devi so I can't comment on her views) recognize no distinction between the value of human and animal life are indeed usually pretty creepy people, many of them openly fantasize about authoritarian family planning schemes and even the extinction of the human race (which I guess makes them worse than Nazis in a sense).

Indeed, I am one of them. I'm basically an ancap. But I don't think CNN is the reason ancapism isn't our dominant ideology, it's because ancapism sounds fucking weird to normal people. If you'd like an example of fact-based criticism of the media I'd cite this from Bryan Caplan (of course, he's half-Jewish so feel free to avert your eyes from his arguments like an irrational baby):
https://www.econlib.org/the-sense-in-which-i-dont-trust-the-media/
If you read carefully, you'll notice he never says that but for the media, his views would be super popular, that the American media is basically like Pravda, or any of the conspiracy theories about how "muh corporations" or "muh us government" are responsible for all evil in the world.
