Noam, your training and most notable contributions are in linguistics. Linguistics! Why are you choosing three intellectuals known for politics? Politics is a pseudo-science of mental masturbation.

Of course he sees them as "true" intellectuals. He carries a bias towards them because they are all along the same ideological lines. Chomsky's no fool, but he's got his slant like everyone else. Sometimes I believe he raises good points but other times he crosses into a territory that's just plain pessimistic and self serving.

so nice to see three friends ( Naom , Edward and Eqbal) working towards the same goal and learning from each other during the process.

All responsible intellectuals are dead! we are doomed.

People who have "dedicated a large part of their lives and work to pursuing elementary moral truisms" (1:06 ff).

Does Chomsky respect Michael Parenti's work?

All the intellectuals he mentioned are all ready died. Any one still alive he considers an intellectual?

could you please put the rest of this video up. Cheers

I believe this gentleman should be challenged on every single one of his supposed intellectual perspectives.

We are fortunate to have KZbin to access such discourse, the TV media is a vast wasteland.

Thanks for the clip. What's this from?

do you have the entire interview? I was lucky enough to study with Eqbal Ahmad, one of the three Chomsky mentioned.

I'd add Jeremy Scahill to this list, although I doubt Chomsky knew about him at the time this video was taken. Understandable, since he didn't publish anything until 2006, I believe. Also, from what I hear, Naomi Klein is quite the new voice of the people.

Are they all Jews?

great video. thx

Noam Chomsky is a true American hero.

thanks for posting. what's this from?

Howard Zinn was a great man. I'm glad professor Chomsky speaks highly of him. :)

Love Alpert. Love Chomsky. Love this video.

great video, Thanks!

brilliant

Thank you for upload! =)

Suthoo Video :-)

Allegations of corruption (kickbacks) should always be accompanied by specific details. However, the first speaker made a very sharp comment regarding "institutional weaknesses" that result in one sided deals (thus harming the interests of the public).

utilization of thar coal is the only way to overcome this problem....

"Pakistani Rasputin look alike" but definitely Zindabad and Avay Avay....

there is an editing error in this vid, after 1:52 it repeats itself, however, it's worth hearing Jonathon Miller again. And a wonderful meeting with an old lady close to death. Great clip.

Well done Mr.QID, A.H. Nayyar and others in spot lighting this crucial issue. Shouldn't leading journos be spearheading this effort?

Fine doublespeak Mr. Dilshad!

How many of these fake degree holders are in occupations that require expertise in life and death issues? This is really scary and an affront to the idea of an education at any level. As usual there are people who will call for an NRO like deal but these folks should be banned from contesting any kind of election.

This solves the criteria of the government that all ministers shud be graduates. This also will give the nation confidence that ministers can be honest too (by admitting their mistakes in this case).

. All such ministers shud be pardoned. However there needs to be a condition for granting this pardon and that is, these ministers shud then sign up to further studies, i .e. pursue BA degrees and complete them within the normal time it takes to complete BA. Lastly, for future politicians, obviously everyone applying for party tickets and election contest shud be a graduate.

solution to fake degrees - govt shud announce they will check on all ministers degrees in two weeks. anyone caught will be subject to punishment (political ban etc). However within these two weeks, govt shud encourage all ministers who hold fake degrees to come forward and admit their wrongdoings

QID is the re-incarnation of Schumacher!

Hmm! I see "Small is Beautiful" ideas at work :-)

anyone else depressed?

there's no point talking fake degrees when others with high degrees are equal or bigger thieves. for example it was during Benazir Bhutto's first stint that loot culture and hooliganism was legalized. She had original degrees didnt she. PPP is akin with loot while Nawaz Sharif, the head liar and hypocrite, builds up on low keel but heavy loot. In short, Pakistani society needs purging by whatever means, whatever that means....

Beware of this Issa dude! He is an "agent". An agent for change.

:-)

Good overview, CDA should listen to this man!

Very Good!

good one!

La jawab Pink Kurta ;-)

Don´t ruin my cityyyy :(

Brilliant!

I am glad you noticed the inspiration: Schumacher!

very sad indeed...!!
