What does Sup Forums think about Noam Chomsky?

youtube.com/watch?v=34LGPIXvU5M

his reccomended reading list is fucking fantastic. dont know much about him other than he is an intellectual though. probably jewish.

He's a high IQ kike who is undefeatable in debates because he'll always find ways to trick you using his encyclopedic autistic knowledge

He's right that the freer a country, the more propaganda is required for order.

He handles huge amounts of information. Common trick is that he uses mainstream sources to show the machinations of the USA.

He's a moron. He thinks muslims commit terror because of oppression.

Isn't he a commie?

He calls himself a libertarian socialist. In other words no one knows what the fuck he is.

Chomsky writes good books like OP's pic, but then discards them in modern political opinions. I wouldn't be surprised if they were ghostwritten to gain anti-establishment street cred. He's a huge disappointment for not at least disavowing both parties in 2016.

Noam Chomsky asked people to support the Wall Street backed Democratic Party and its corporate media minions... because muh water-boarding Republicans!!! He's full on senile at this point if he's willing to embrace an authoritarian, corporatist, and globalist state for the sake of torture. Because the fact that 6 mega corporations own all of the media in this country, and that they all cooperate with the government, isn't important at all. Why even write a book about the politico-media complex if it's not that important?

Great linguist.

Poor politics.

You can play "Six degrees of Noam Chomsky" fairly easily. Any problem in the world is caused by only a maximum of six degrees of separation from US policy.

He's a retard.

Great book, although that was mostly the coauthor if I remember right.

"Voices of a People's History of the United States" should be a standard high school textbook.

This is the ass hole who says democracy must be expanded. Then uses Aristotle to substantiate his argument. Aristotle who argued only propertied men should be given franchise.

>Isn't he a commie?

No. Probably what he's famous for politically is not being in the communist orbit.

The communists kicked him out of Czechoslovakia in 1968, because they knew he wasn't communist. His works were banned in the USSR also.

He is a Holocaust denier (as was the late Christopher Hitchens).

>libertarian socialist
lol what the fuck

>Noam Chomsky asked people to support the Wall Street backed Democratic Party

Actually his opinion is a little more complex. And he is 100% against the theoretical, do-nothing left. The odds of a good political party being organized in the US in 2018 are zero. I should know, I worked with the Green party for a while. All the bullshit from the Democrats migrated over to a party which was not great to begin with.

That being said, yeah Chomsky is a huge academic buff. But his anti-americanism bias is through the fucking roof. His entirety of his arguments can be summed up to " America is so powerful it absolves other states from self-responsibility : everything can be traced back to muh ebil america. 3rd worlders dindu nuffin".

Worth watching for knowing what the opposition main talking points are, but take with a grain of salt and do your own research from there.

Manufactured consent is a brilliant concept that Sup Forums would do well to consider and not just give in to their knee jerk instincts. It's a much more useful explanatory tool for us than for the Left.

Everything else he says is trash though.

>He is a Holocaust denier

Well this a lie Zionist jews tell about him.

Actually French Zionists wanted to throw a French holocaust denier professor in jail, and Chomsky (through a series of bumbles, although that's irrelevant) signed the petition. When the Zionists demanded he say the denier should go to jail, he didn't back down and said he had the right to free speech. So this is why they call Chomsky a holocaust denier.

This is the only appropriate way to consume Chomsky. He is, without doubt, very intelligent and observant. His bias's are clear though, if you actually meditate on why he never gives non American people Agency.

>as was the late Christopher Hitchens
>not wanting to murder David Irving make you a Holocaust denier

Incorrect.
He was asked if the Holocaust happened and he said No. This was from a clip of an interview he gave to BDS.

>Great linguist.
No, youre a fuckwit.

Chomsky is a scammer, and utterly disliked thought the linguist community:

His theory of the language module (innate ability in humans to use language) is a confirmed scam.

In order to test the theory a group of infants would have to be isolated and raised without contact of other humans.

This isnt allowed in any country becuase of ethical restrictions.

He knew that.

He still scammed millions in university funding promoting it, rather than proving it (becuase you can't)

He isn't welcome to participate in any applied linguistics projects now and Instead spends his time lecturing on morals and other time wasters.

Yup, funny how he cries about population control by filtering of the information and how dissent is essentially impossible. Yet here he is, making a fortune out of it and traveling the world making his case for anti-americanism. That's how you know that America and other democracies, for all their flaws, are not as inherently evil as he makes out. In any other system, an activist like him would have gulag'd long ago.

You just red pilled me. Do you have any further / more detailed sources on what you just said about him being unwelcome in the linguist community ?

I used to be a fan, until I realized his ideas all boil down to a reactionary anti-West sentiment. If you can't blame something on the West, it's not a problem in Chomsky's mind. To be fair, he was equally hard of the USSR when they existed, but that just shows that he thinks smaller countries are just extensions of the super-powers, which is deeply condescending and outdated for the modern world of terrorism and dangerous international ideologies.

In many ways he's like a real-life version of Ellsworth Toohey from "The Fountainhead."

>He was asked if the Holocaust happened and he said No. This was from a clip of an interview he gave to BDS.

Uh that's bullshit because if it were true it would be on the front page of every web site which hates Chomsky, which is most of them - on the right as well as the one's that are supposedly "left".

do we have a pill for people like noam?
Violetpilled?
purplepilled?

>Chomsky is a scammer, and utterly disliked thought the linguist community:

Chomsky created modern linguistics.

Also, you seem to have little understanding of what the language module is. Because if you're using the Chomsky hierarchy, various grammars can fit into a nondeterministic pushdown automata. Right? Or wrong? Or do you know? Or do you know Chomsky's theories of language are foundational not only for human speech, but the computer languages running this web site? You are a moron....

I don't think you understand the scale of the censorship.

Overrated word salad white nigger liberal.

or by mumbling his words so nobody really hear it.

he is the kind of guy that usually blame USA for all the worlds problems. he would for example claim that usa is the reason for terrorism

>Fuck off you stole my thread!!!


Reeeeeeee!!!!!

>by mumbling his words so nobody really hear it.
This, I have tried a few times to watch some debates/lectures by him but he is ever so hard to understand so despite my best intentions I usually end up tuning out and staring at my watch. Sad!

>Chomsky created modern linguistics.

He was influential. He didn't create it.
and many linguists find a lot of what he has written to be pretty stupid. He has had a few gems. But now he's like an old man that has realised his life is coming to an end so he'll say whatever he wants

the computer language grammar formalism is not really used in practice right?, its juts a nice way of defining the grammar at compiler course at university, i learned it too. but in what way has it ever been a big deal.

I think the recent breakthroughs in language model learning for AI has kinda disprove his universal grammar theory. Everyone can just make up theories like this when you don't need to prove it.

Also he has no real degree (never studied), he just got a phd for no reason. (jew) *cough*

>or by mumbling his words so nobody really hear it.

Chomsky is 88 years old. When he sits down and does interviews you can see his mind is still there, but he is certainly not as quick on his feet as he was in his 30's. People beg for him to come to their events and he goes.

Nice meme.

>the computer language grammar formalism is not really used in practice right?, its juts a nice way of defining the grammar at compiler course at university

What do you think compiled the code to run this website's operating system? Or its web application? And so on? A compiler.

Not the best argument. Some lecturers like Bernard Lewis who are much older can still be far more articulate and concise than he is. Still though, I'll concede some people might age better than others.

yea but you don't need the formalism to make a compiler. it makes the course at university seems more theoretical . but its not needed, Its kinda over theorized. Its the same when in psychology they try to make mathematical equations on different obvious things like when you learn something, your proficiency is exponential in time, p = e^t, its completely useless equation (someone call it math envy). So if you dont have a good example for when the grammatical formalism is needed to make the compiler then i assume the same for that.

Trash.
Stop pushing this meme!

>Chomsky created modern linguistics.
No.

Linguistics is a science

You need to be able to collect quantitative or qualitative data to prove hypothesis, his 'theories' were nothing more than philosophical musings.

Like I said earlier, you can't prove the language module hypothesis without raising infants in isolation.

Every university has an ethics committee that you have to submit proposed research topics to.

If you were a real linguist you'd know that.

t. Applied linguist.

Well, to a degree, they kinda do.

This is what all the search engines before Google said. Then two Phds in computer science came in and became the only search engine, and a company worth hundreds of billions.

Same deal with hedge funds like Renaissance Technologies.

Even companies like Oracle sprung out of Codd's mathematical formulas.

Most San Francisco technology companies worth a lot had/have some super math/CS people around doing work.

When they don't, like in the days of eToys and Pets.com, it's usually a bubble. Actually, the Snap IPO is a sign of that, although in 1999, there were a dozen Snap type IPO's a month.

>I wouldn't be surprised if they were ghostwritten
A bunch of "Chomsky's books" are literally just transcripts of rambling interviews with Chomsky conducted by this guy David Barsamian.

just a bunch of other examples. non are with Chomskys grammar.

What Christopher Hitchens thinks of him: Intellectually lazy.

>I used to be a fan, until I realized his ideas all boil down to a reactionary anti-West sentiment.

Are you me?

>the government is evil
>let's give the government more power
That's all you need to know about Chomsky.

His first name is avram, and he is very intelligent imo but hes not immune to having an agenda.

Sometimes, often times probably, he is being purely intellectual but sometimes, possibly often times, he is being a shill so you have to pay attention and not just yeah-yeah everything he says

>morals and other time wasters.
Ambiguity has it's privileges.
