If you guys think that he embarassed Sam Harris, then you're either retarded or so stubbornly against anything "new atheism" that you're willing to pretend Chomsky somehow one. No one one in that exchange because Chomsky decided to be a huge sperglord and refused have a civil discussion.

I like how Harris just groups Baudrillard and Chomsky together for no apparent reason.

Last week I started on Language & Mind and it's been a great introduction to Linguistics; thanks to him I now have another field to get into.
Until this I had only watched a few interviews and lectures on Youtube, mostly related to politics. His comments were always on point.
By his reputation and what I've had contact with I'd call him a brilliant thinker.

the only sperglord here is you and your use of one instead of won, and I am calling you out on this. Unspeakable.

I bet like many we heard about chomsky here and there, only after many years I bothered to listen to a single speech of him. I didn't regret it, on the contrary I regret not checking him out sooner, now I look forward to read some of his books asap

it's weird too lately in all these recent interviews he's been confessing his youthful fear/hatred of catholics, like he was mad that his parents moved him to a catholic neighborhood were he got bullied by irish toughs...but image it was black kids instead of the irish terrorizing lil chompsky? could he say that? it's getting awkward and i don't know why he's "going there" all of the sudden.

it would be funny if chomsky becomes a hardcore zionist on his deathbed, i've heard him say some unusual phrases like "that's not how the world works" recently, like finally at 85 he's outgrowing his adolescent naiveté!
