Yhanks Gary for pytting these up really enjoyable

Taichi and other exercises as well as a high vegetable diet is a part of Chinese eldercare. In the 21st century, there are a lot of new ideas in agriculture and health to work on. Jiangsu and Zhejiang is one of the most developed areas in China, and it is famous for its agricultural wealth and libraries. Thanks to the Shanghainese for bringing this to the US.

"Mr. Chomsky"

Arabs and Persians are Asiand too

Will never forget NC's comparison of "the first 9/11" in 1973 with 2001's, the former a wholesale US invasion of terror that counted for nothing with the forces of international law...

There is nothing to say, professor Chomsky already said it all ....poor Latin America ....survival..is what many of us have left ...👍

Such a contrast between Ludlow's interview style vs the others in this series, really shows in Chomskys responses here, much more tense & confrontational 😬 relax Peter it's not a knife fight 😂 way too tense & defensive

thanks for sharing! I love prof. chomsky, one of the greatest minds alive.

Studying lat am politics, this talk was super interesting

The perfect interviewer.

The biologists who challenged him came from a time when it was almost sacrosanct to challenge the idea that language developed as a natural selection process to optimize communication. They took it as axiomatic and while the first biologist really questioned for clarification the second one decided to take a swipe by implying that Chomsky s view, namely that language was not developed for communication optimization, was somehow hostile (he amended that quickly to state 'indifferent') to what he assumed language was 'for'. There are 3 rebuttals effectively made by Chomsky. 1) Just because other systems found in nature likely developed by natural selective optimal response to the environment doesn't mean they're recursive. There are other mechanisms we can explore that still adhere to an evolutionary viiew 2) Just because human communication is sophisticated doesn't mean that this is its function. A better argument can be made is that it seems more facilitated for introspective thought. This can be demonstrated by internal observation. 3) The mechanics of langauge show that it's optimized for computational efficiency rather than communication efficiency. Syntactic relationships at a distance via movement (eg WH movement ) demonstrate this. These syntactic structures are optimized for computation not communication. His comments about how a perception system somehow connected to already linking interfaces was meant to be speculative. Other primates have sophisticated communication systems but they are not recursive so always based on sounds. This is why you can't teach chimp even simple grammar but you can teach it words.

9:40 It must be some kind of law of philosophical discussions in studios that, at some point, the coffeecup on the table is mentioned as an example

Scagnetti on Scagnetti

Insufferable as ever.

The Mendelssohn chamber intro string music ; He and Sibelius are reputed to have said that music takes over meaning when words fail.

I was searching Philosopher's Stone for my kid and this came up. I took your logic class in '88 and still have your book. I remember reading that SciAm article, and coding up something like the fractal, but somehow didn't register your name. If that's not bad enough, I was struggling my way through Hofstadter's GEB (yet again!) around the time I took your class which treats the Church-Turing thesis at length and had no idea until just now upon reading your entry in Wikipedia that I could have struggled less or at least more interestingly had I cared at the time to learn more about my professors. The class was good and you taught well. It was a good foundation for math/eng I took later and for my career.

It always amazes me that Noam can comprehend what even verbose, half-assed questioners are actually trying to say when nobody else can!

At 33:13 a Biologist attempts to POUNCE!

I've never heard Noam Chomsky ask a question that isn't rhetorical.

i like how ludlow is pressing chomsky on his views rather than showing deference to him

Lol

Where’s the beef?

sullivan expedition 1779* 22:00~

When was this recorded? What year?

I, too would like to learned how I ended up here . I want to know how my dad got here and unfortunately he’s gone . Did you request FOIA from Uscis or Nara? Thanks

Jesus

38:01 is a nice moment. The kid must've felt good. He got a long reply from Chomsky, then when he thinks it's all over, Chomsky basically calls him back and continues talking to him

It's Sept 2022 and I just searched and read that this professor got fired from Northwestern University for dating female students. Back around 2018 I think, the height of "me too" It's kinda nuts. All the professors who are married to former students used be respected academics. Now they are scumbags who abused their power, and their wives are poor victims who don't have minds of their own

It's Sept 2022 and East Asian Americans need to leave the cities if they can. They will be much safer living near conservative, rural or suburban poor/middle class whites. Conservative isnt a necessity. My point is that small town, middle Americans are extremely welcoming to East Asians

William Buckley couldn't hold a candle to this guy!!

Why do we have to use a commonly understood language in our thought if the primary purpose of language is to think? Most multi-lingual people think in their primary language and translate those words into a secondary one. Why doesn't everyone create an internal language of their own and just translate this into common language while speaking?

The interviewer seems to argue in defense of these new philosophers and he forgot that Chomsky is a scientist and a philosopher. I wonder how someone can be excellent en so many fields.

He describes the workings of modern science so many times in this series of lectures.

i love how he throws in the thing about destroying the iroquois within the part about events

So impressive his mind is. Above all others by a margin. One thing I don't agree with Chomsky is his claim here that scientists throw common sense out the window. And that this one distinction from folk science.

No one there except Chomsky knows anything about science.

I wonder how much he reads in a day

Language, of course, has not only communication and expression of ideas, but a creative function such as「 דבר 」 which is called in Hebrew .

What's the intro music?

I DONT WANN BE FAOSU

Who? The guy who wants to starve people?

wow, 6.28 language as a interface. that F*&% mind blowing.

What is the book on the table that Chomsky refers to?

At 22:30, so true: Roe v Wade putting abortion beyond the reach of democratic politics, gay "marriage", nonenforcement of the immigration laws, the conspiracy to prevent Trump from 1 taking office 2 governing. All perfect examples of the managed democracy Chomsky is describing. And he was just as much right on the money describing the news media as the state's handmaiden. Chomsky was full of it from the 50s through the 90s. But now that his fanboys are in charge of the universities, the press, the foundations and the government bureaucracy, they're doing a terrific job bringing about his totalitarian vision.

That biologist really wanted his own podium debate with Chomsky

the point about signing children behaving counter-iconically around 11:05 should not be surprising. the child is merely mimicking adult behavior. if the adult points away from themselves, I as a child will also point away from myself.
