The concept of universal grammar not only leads to an innovative understanding of linguistics, ideas, philosophy , history and science , but also to an understanding of human nature, value of existence, and the distinction between humans and other living things.

How is this possible? How is this guy's grasp of the scope of consciousness and philosophy even possible? Every time he leans back and asks an elementary question about assumptions that scientists seem to share, he is challenging....I dunno? I don't know philosophy well enough to even listen to this man but it feels like an antidote to everything.

Who is the writer on mathematical creation he talks about at 1,31.26 . Its sounds like "Adem R "had this book on mathematical creation in which he asks people how they do it... he's an important mathematician"

[@kieronmcnulty6177]

It was Jacques Hadamard - The Mathematician's Mind: The Psychology of Invention in the Mathematical Field. That was tough to track down.

@@kieronmcnulty6177 lol good find, glad you were able to find it

[@kieronmcnulty6177]

@@Aaron-wy9nb I know I'm very helpful. Well done me! It took quite a bit of googling around. Chomsky saying a French surname beginning with H when he had a heavy cold and then not putting the name on the blackboard did not help me :-)

[@Skillinator99]

@@kieronmcnulty6177 he somehow always gets quieter and less clear while saying someone’s name. That is the one thing that annoys me about his talks

23:00 jesus christ could these trolls stop interrupting him with stupid comments that masquerade as questions

[@jessicarperry]

i wonder if the man has ever lost his temper : )

[@FuaConsternation]

1:38:30 - someone explain to me why NC went there to lecture, and all i got was hours of some trolls making shiite comments masquerading as questions.

[@tommytwobrews]

Come on this is unnecessary belittling

[@tommytwobrews]

It's valuable to voice common misconceptions

[@tommytwobrews]

But that guy does sound like a bit of a wanker especially around 1:24:08.
