Language: The Cognitive Revolution - Noam Chomsky 

What's shocking to me is you can watch every interview, talk, etc., he has ever given and he never gets a word wrong or mangles his syntax, while discussing cutting edge linguistic science, philosophy, history, you name it. Remarkable.

Very nice! Thanks to the channel for such an event.

Total amazement of scholarly outflow.. limitless it is.

Best teacher ever… True humanist mind.

Transcript of this talk would be such a treasure.

what a lecture wow! thanks for sharing

Whether languages are learnable or not is an empirical matter to discover. Languages are not usable to a large extent. Thunderous clapping, what a wonderful lecture by MIT prof.

Excellent deliberation 🙏

God bless the benevolent knowledge and its champions and knights.

Rare human. Great scholar of the century’

I adore him 🎉

This was unmatched performance

This might be one of his best talks.

Chomsky = Walking encyclopedia

So thankful for grasping some insights from such a great man!

instant noam: 5:25

@ Uploader or other contributors; is there any way to upload this GREAT Video again in a HIGH resolution and MOST importantly though if the SUBTITLE could be added too

The word house is a fantastically complex concept, involving abstract ideas of exterior and interior and an observers physiceal relation to those two states. A Some autistic people have singular visual representations of the category house, so if they imagine what houses look like they don't have a variety of possible exterior design structures to choose for internal representation, but rather a single house exemplar image. The cog. normative brain makes this same conceptual operation if you ask the normal person to visualize home; I find this interesting.

a genius, Chomsky

As long as there's no Theory of Everything we're just speculating on the properties of the brain and of the mind.

Chomsky is the GOAT

❤

I'm very new to his work as a linguist, having only been exposed to his perspectives on politics and history (which I don't particularly agree with.) I am utterly stunned and impressed.

So much better visual without his current over long grey frizzled hair on his face. Hes a nice looking man. I can listen without watching the later ones. Appreciate all these talks and interviews with him. Thanksalot

Descartes didnt make it to the top ten... That's astonishing

I like Terence Deacon's ideas of absences. Linguistic expression and meanings are just as much about what is said vs what is not said in an expression.

I'd say, normally, technology works 80% in favor of the skilled, whom are also the good, let's face it... Until money comes in, and it's 80% on them's favor. We need people of integrity.

Lecture starts at 5:10

Academics, the curriculum dotter, gets reconfigured.

Skip the first 6:00 or so 😊

At 1:14:30 Noam was having a language processing problem interfacing with the external environment. Somehow his brain figured it. Actually computer higher languages mimic brain processing by operations like pointers which are efficiancy tools.

🙏🏻, if’s I cared for your mercy, I am only dusting, I have never seen anything about the senses and awareness one’s figured out how’s the world going with democratic catalyst, on the way of military made for independence, on the organization of world disruption in conflict without prosperity by the democratic on social disruption but egotistical 😊🙏🏻.

1:32:58 Oh, whoa.... 90min tape limit here!?

1:25:20

Rest in peace Noam

Can someone tell me who is " Lennon " ,, because it doesn't make sense with Google search results.... 3:35

is it Lex Fridman at 1:20:33 ?

The fact of naming ceremonies means we are smart enough to know we can be named. That's a recognition which could be made independent of other communities and without saltation. If you look at folk history of California native Americans, first came name for me, then for you, then for direction, etc. That's a new technology. And naming ceremonies for teens is common. And also, In the beginning was the word.... is an abstract expression of how important worded expression became. In animistic religion, you get a name under cave art where the animals are god like. Now you get a name to place you in a community of likes. And once you have a name for yourself, art can flow as naming devices, educational devices for a new idea. Look at Anne Sullivan. Teaching a new technology to Helen. It spreads.

My Father’s 🙏🏻, I looked at what’s the any science of proof means to justifying what’s happening if’s to learn in combination, if’s I love linguistics and literature feel and science is fair or only the fact to proof😊🙏🏻, what’s ever if’s the manipulation cultures 😸. So sorry I feeling like the alien 👽😊🙏🏻.

🙏🏻my Father’s I am only dust or the truth disturbing , it’s twisted in the Manufacture offensive, please. How’s the day going with thorns and fangs around on the products of earths’ propaganda rights, and violations please 🥺🙏🏻.

Just to get acquainted with the contrasting view, does anyone know what is the best overall refutation of Chomsky's ideas about language? Maybe Everett's? Is there a lecture where one can find a summary of the main criticisms to Chomsky's doctrine?

I like it when he touches his neck, he does that ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0hzCOsQJ8Sc.html

Anyone how has listened with admiration Mr Noam Chomsky especially in America as an American citizens, while being able to vote and of a voting age, which has not voted for Donald Trump in the last two elections, does not understand a single word this gentleman speaks. Am I lying in stating that....?

If you want to listen to this man. 1.25x or 1.5x You're welcome

Wasn't this guy friends with epstein?

just silly

What is this man blabbing about when talking about the "stable mental state" and the "input signal" being modulated to keep the system stable. 16:14 He seriously thinks we can put a bridle on that and start to manipulate the input signal to produce a state of euphoria and sell tickets to the public who'd like a dose of that. I pass thanks mate.

...Chomsky defines boredom

Language is unusable? Only beautiful?! Really??? Some strange elements just at the end...

Chomsky, a nice man, but not someone who did really understand the soundhelix (klankhelix, Lauthelix), rediscovered by Ans Schapendonk. Now, the university of Leiden did present this 'Language as a timemachine' which is the Oracle of Delphi, men never did study seriously. Ausgerechnet die deutschen Universitäten mischen sich hier ein, während die Professoren hier Plagiat betreiben (Philipps-Universität Marburg, Deutsche Sprachatlas, Jürgen Erich Schmidt. Zitat: "Zu Frauen die mir nichts zu sagen haben, spreche ich nicht"! Eben, hält den Mund, weil Männer, im Gegensatz zu den Hohepriesterinnen, überhaupt nichts von Sprache verstanden haben.

I have a hard time listening to Noam Chomsky, he talks so slow and he makes the most drawn out points without really painting a rich narrative. Big ADHD.
