Thought provoking 🙌🏼😬

Mr. Chomsky is a man of unwavering honesty and practicality. I feel fortunate to have lived during his time and to have been able to absorb his common sense and knowledge.

Many of Chomsky's quotes here remind me of Marshal McLuhan and mass media.

He is a great person and thinker.

Citations would be good

I fucking love this guy "What's the point of being better than someone else?" There is no point, but people just can't put their egos aside...

"There is no point, but people just can't put their egos aside..." Including you, right? Yes? Correct? You can't put your ego aside and are deluded in thinking you're better than others, right? All you have to do, is apply Chomsky's own arguments to his own premises, to see how stupid is everything he says, and everyone who admires him.

@@justinjefferson5831 neither do I feel better or worse. The entire point of the quote is to point out that we shouldn't care whether we're better than someone or not. So, if someone has a big ego, I don't care if they act that way. I'm not better than them just because they don't put their ego aside. To them I say "go ahead, flaunt your ego and see where it takes you"

@@AspiringAuthor-mw9ri So none of Chomsky's quotes make any sense, because he cannot claim that he who makes them, and therefore the claims themselves, are any better than anyone else, and anyone else's claims? His claims have no more merit than he has, and he has none above anyone else? See how he's just a stupid pompous ass? If what he's saying makes sense, then what he's saying doesn't make sense. This applies to everything he said. He is a conceited fool, that is all.

Thank you for put up Noams quotes . Such an inspiring intellectual ❤

He just states the obvious once you start to use your own eyes instead of letting someone else tell you what there is to see.

Thank you Professor Chomsky!

Outstanding content. It makes me respect more Chomsky and be interested in his work.

Thanks a lot

I feel like a lot of people on the libertarian right latch on to Chomsky's more anarchist/anti-state quotes when it's only half the picture. He's a libertarian socialist and it's essential to put these quotes into the greater context.

@@davedammann741 You could try reading the comment again. It's right there. Chomsky has anarcho-syndicalist ideals. It's not enough that the state needs to be diminished, but that workers take control of the means of production through direct action, because a corporate tyranny is inevitable when you abolish the state but allow private enterprise to continue as is.

This man speaks the truth every time he opens his mouth... The majority of American society is very brainwashed and totally indoctrinated to the core , They hide behind pathetic simple minded cheap brain dead political labels Democrat or Republican, Green party,etc.. When are people gonna wake up and understand just because they don't live behind bars? Doesn't mean the bars aren't there, America is a fascist dictating terrorist country.... And Washington,D.C. is not 🚫 even apart of this country,But don't believe me.... Look it up for one self ,Thank you .. This message is for anyone reading this comment

He's not a libertarian. Chomsky is the voice of freedom and critical analysis of authority. David is really narrow.

What a great PRESENT TO HAVE HIM HERE , THE HOLY MOTHER EARTH NEEDS MORE BRAINHEARTED HUMANS LIKE HIM..THANKS..💖💫 angrygran☀️🌿

Thank you for the qoutes!❤

Those were amazing, but it’s hard(impossible) to square that with everything I’ve heard from Noam Chomsky previously. For instance I watched him humiliate a young man who asked him about reconsidering what really happened on 911. This man was refuted by Noam because he had no credentials and how come his question hadn’t been already resolved by those who were credentialed. That was Noam’s answer to him. Pretty phony attack on the kid.

GO NOAM!

Thanks, Doctor Chomsky. For everything. Project critical rest soon. Finishing computer stuff.

I can;t read enough to keep up with this post.

I would have liked to have seen a debate between Chomsky and Von Hayek (the author of “The Road to Serfdom” - he’s no longer living) - despite Chomsky’s capacity for insightful thinking, I couldn’t see him getting the better of Von Hayek as regards the latter’s thesis that incrementally (or otherwise) giving more control to the State diminishes the capacity of the individual to help himself/herself and those around him.

i dont so, people look down on me. Wont help me anyway.

The intellectual quote is confusing because he’s anti intellectual

God is forgetting people on this Earth.

chomsky condemns APARTHE1D israel for their deeds but disagrees with B D S. Apparently harsh words are enough.

He is a linguist not a policy analyst nor a historian. He refuses to admit that many of his views of 60 years ago didn’t stand over time.

not qualified anyway.

I like how most of these quotes are just vague truisms that anyone can interpret in their own way and say, "He's right! I think so too!" without actually knowing what he was originally talking about. It's a great indoctrination tactic (ironically).

So, the other side would be about why it is advantageous to comply with the government narrative?! Or, Why we should comply with the right wing or nationalistic politics?! Or, why ideas of anarchy (which by definition is only a disruption and not a political movement) should not be tolerated and the unscrupulous superpowers and superich be allowed without being questioned to do what they do undisturbed??! You are saying that this other side is what provides us with securities and the most acceptable justice, and that it provides us with all the right justifications to make good decisions?? And, that Professor Chomsky never compromised??

Ah, yes. Chomsky: Opium for psuedo-intellectuals.

Generally speaking his quotes are very vague and general
