Noam Chomsky: Will the Human Experiment Continue? 

On one hand, how lucky we are to be alive at a time when we can listen to these 2 geniuses in conversation. On the other hand, how unlucky we are to be alive while these conversations have to be had.

No disrespect to the woman, I'm not aware of her work.

Noam was cringing a bit though, he's not comfortable being praised like that.^^

Both are #AmericanTreasures’!!#IntellectualGiants #RESPECT! #NoamChomsky #CornellWest

Timothy Renfer By all means we all need to weep when our benevolent doctor Jesus redeemer of souls causes our hard hearts to rupture in tears of appreciation and humility

This weepy vapid virtue signalling is cringeworthy in the extreme. Man up!

@@PK-re3lu stfu

What is sad, though, was his refusal to learn any lessons from the past. We have 100+ years of attempts at pure leftism and this has left a trail of millions and millions of dead bodies in its wake.

@@emsnewssupkis6453 Wot?

@@emsnewssupkis6453 well that's an impressively shrivelled imagination... is that all that you take from history? a story of separation reducing the world to the repetition of re-heated assumptions which you don't even try to critically question? think for yourself. look around. see in which state the world is in. is this the best we can do? how have we gotten to this point? why should we continue with our eyes closed on this path towards extinction? because you are too afraid of change? (which if you are, by the way, says a lot more about the privilege of your situation than about the need for change the world is currently undergoing)

@@cosmozappa3573 The history of Stalinism and Maoism, silly, teaches us that far leftism is murderous. Ask Chompsky...HAHAHA. I debated him many, many years ago. I, too, consume tons of historical information. It isn't difficult. I even have a bad habit of reading Gibbon's 'Decline and Fall of Rome' once a decade which makes it six times now.

and one time when i was emailing chomsky he said that he forgets too much

I think he enjoyed responding to those wonderful questions. Great talk

Spice Insights yeah amazing talk, I’ve been waiting for so long for these two intellectuals to have a conversation. This is like my version of society’s super bowl with the level of excitement 😂

Beavis De Jesus What do you mean? Who told you to not have be hopeful?

@@Randomuser2329 Good comment. People who find 'hope' in this way are generally full of shit... Their 'hope' becomes an excuse not to do anything!

Interesting point!

Timestamp please?

Asad it’s within the first couple of minutes. Literally the first thing Cornell says. Amazing interview.

D. Juárez lol true I saw it. Very much enjoyed this interview.

Why was he squirming with discomfort?

@@JamesPeach hes very humble

"Burn Hollywood Burn" Somebody smarter than YOU

Check out the YT channel “Chomsky’s philosophy” for loads of great vids from throughout his life. He’s brilliant and is legit the intellectual grandfather of the new American progressive left.

With respect, Chomsky has no philosophy of his own. Zero. All borrowed from others. Interesting you call him a pundit though. Here, we are closer to the truth!

PK with respect, when you make an assertion, you don’t just move on smugly like you’re done. Prove it, then move on to being a smart ass.

PK if you didn’t wanna look like an loser, you’d say, “Chomsky doesn’t have one idea of his own. For instance,” then cite examples, dates, you know, fucking proof! Christ.

@@RustinChole Read the history of philosophy and figure it out for yourself. You are responsible for your ignorance/blind hero worship, no one else.

great point

Note how when we are run by leftists, there is no peace nor any freedoms, either. Note how the more leftist a country the less freedoms and certainly, no peace, either.

Emsnews Supkis Please continue to prove my point with bizarre responses such as this. The poverty and ignorance of the South are so rampant; we carry a stereotype of being ignorant and incapable. Please drop the tribal behavior and embrace your education ☮️❤️

@@52770kat When a country goes full communist, they end up like North Korea.

Emsnews Supkis Who the hell is a communist that’s running? No one🤨 Grow up. Learn the platforms of the parties and watch their track records; then vote accordingly. Geebus H. Xmas! This is about our society not a tribal order for some bogus messiah 🤢

I AGREE. This is a special one.

Ah yes, memories of life under Communist rule. Chomsky didn't understand how this works.

RussCR5187 Thank you, that’s a beautiful quote.

@Zir Alert HAHAHA. Do note in all leftist victories, people like him are then eliminated brutally.

This aged communist is so inspiring...NOT.

@@emsnewssupkis6453 Does it bring you pleasure to come to a video with the specific intention of hating on it?

@@TheCyanSqueegee You are romanticizing a man who is unable to understand, words can lead to dark deeds.

@@emsnewssupkis6453 Well since I have no idea what you even mean by something like "communist" or "dark deeds" and I have frankly no interest in finding out as you seem more interested in argument than conversation, I'll just leave you by saying I hope you have a good day. All I meant by my comment was that I can't imagine why someone would occupy their time doing this, but you continue your holy crusade if that's what brings you joy.

Thanks! Great suggestion. Sir David Attenborough is already on our booking list. Hoping for post-election or early 2021.

@@theobsvgroup I can't wait

???

@@smotnick Watch the video and you'll understand.

@@Sinleqeunnini If you think the Antiers and the BLMers will make a long-term, dent you are mistaken.

@@smotnick I don't know what you mean by Antiers. I also don't know if you're expressing a defeatists attitude or a reactionary one. What I spoke of includes BLM but goes far beyond it. It includes all those fighting for social justice today with conviction and consistency. BLM actually has made a long-term dent, as lasting as anything is in our society. Awareness and public support for police reform is noticeably increased whereas one year ago most people had once again forgotten that police brutality was a problem. BLM is also used as a vague umbrella term for all the popular movements for things like universal healthcare, worker protections, democratic accountability, etc. Combine this with essentially the history of all liberation movements starting with the Hebrew prophetic tradition three thousand years ago and there is a clear way to think about things, namely, it is not an argument for optimism, but it is one for hope and purpose. You don't seem to want to take up either.

@@Sinleqeunnini typo. I meant Antifa groups. But to the point, what we need is something similar to Britain's Labor party, sans hierarchy and bureaucracy. Remember, Dems lost votes because Obama, in all his pandering to special interest wisdom, pretty much ignored Labor which has been a historical-Dem ally. When I mean lost Dem votes, I mean for 2016. The Dem party, in its majority as it stands now, is certainly NOT it, because the majority is still beholden to corporatist interests. (See Dr. West's video on dRUMPf vs. Biden). Reps like AOC and Omar are the minority exception but even people like Booker straddle both sides and are bound to fail one of the masters. Antifa and BLM might be okay, to call attention to immediate socio-political problems, but most haven't read a book of Marx and the solutions to racial profiling/police brutality, lies with non-partisan and courages prosecutors. I'll give you an example, here in San Diego we had like forever, a DA who was a Republican and a lesbian, who continued to give LEOs a fee pass on shootings, use of force, and gropping women. This went on and on, and still city voters would continue to re-elect her. It finally came to the case of one CHP officer, who actions were so openly egregious that she finally thew the book at him. But then her free pases resumes after this case. How different things might have turned out if she had thrown the book at the first cop offender.

@Danny B ... many don't care, because they simply don't realize the real severity of the global crisis ... We can thank those sources of distraction that bombard us every day for that.

He's wrong on that point. NEVER did we come closer to nucelar war than in October 1962, an event which I don't EVER recall hearing him mention in his talks or writings/interviews.

@Danny B Beautiful point! Sadly, an early extinction is probably what the Judeo-,Christian tradition deserves :( Most humans are simply too lazy to care!

@Danny B Beautiful point no 2 lol!!! Thanks. How I wish there were more like you. Many of the comments here are at best empty hero-worship. The 'left' needs its heroes to avoid reflecting on itself :( Be well.

The financial collapse, ecological collapse, social collapse.. I hate it, we out, it's sad but true. Have you looked at the flora and fauna in your area? It's bad bruh... In in the Seattle- Everett area, I see it.

Yes, just popped up on my RU-vid feed, wish I knew about it before.

This is tight.

Note that the left doesn't talk about precious BABIES.

Orate baby!!!!

moth: Absolutely. Black and Jewish unity fueled the Civil Rights movement, and we need to bring it back.

Leftists are polite (ahem, until they disagree) with each other but then turn the tables and have them debate anyone conservative and out the window flies all courtesy and the fangs are bared.

LOL

Respect

Great. Notice how he didn't inspire you or anyone to delete their facebook accounts for example. That would be a step forwards but no... It's mediatised bs all the way! What are you going to DO? Nothing, I imagine.

@Gordon Fornow With respect, I disagree. If you listen carefully, Chomsky shies away from any imperative that might actually hurt 'power'. He is, in effect, a commentator, not a dissident. Malcolm X was a dissident. Chomsky has been tolerated by the system for 6 decades precisely because he is misleading people. From the lack of results, this much is clear! Enough hero-worship. Where are the actual results???

@@PK-re3lu I am having a hard time figuring out what the hell you're talking about. "...tolerated by the system for 6 decades precisely because he is misleading people." ??Explain?? Give us an example of him misleading? By the way, where were you in the late 60's when Chomsky was on the streets risking imprisonment to protest the Vietnam war?

Johnny Rizz bc they like crooks

indeed, you have to be corrupt to get in

Every time he was asked to lead or be an activist, he just shrank back in his shell. I appreciate his work, but someone of his caliber could have done so much more had he put his words to action to lead like Dr. West.

cuz Chomsky is an anarcho-syndicalist. if he were to run, the establishment would do everything in their power to crush his campaign. and they would be successful in so doing, much like the 2016 Sanders campaign

Intellect and compassion...

We NEED results. We won't get them being lead by people like NC.

I hear that!

Sadly, i used to care. Now,whatever. Humans are amnesiacs. We forget very easily, get comfortable. Waiting for a savior. The majority minset suffers from a defficiency of basic common sense. Imagine this. All this resources, knowledge, religions. The debate is to mask or not. Toiet paper or? When one falls asleep, ? Does any of that shit matters. As soon as one awakes, the program loads the same defragmented program, but we've upgraded to Windows whatever. Wow I'm the one to blame. Thanks for being in my projection.

@@ronaldmclawrence9965 people are broken, not stupid or forgetful. Broken people break shit and so the solution is to start healing and helping one another heal. That's the way out of this well earned collective hell. It will work too!

@@hawkarae i guess we're on the same page,ya. Between the good, bad, right left wrong. I'm inbetween. Left brain right brain. Complete. ? What does the view look like. The parallax. Left eyes sees a little that the right cant see. So too right eyes. Even crazier, upside downside. The combination a complete picture not seperate but whole. Then enters the kaleidescope. Wooshhhhhh. Do you see the rabbit in the clouds.

@@hawkarae forgetful as in not re membering who we are. Just passerbys.

Chomsky is a chump. Ever try reading any of his books? I have. He pretends to be intelligent but he is also a mental fanatic who resembles Mad Madame Mao more than Milton.

@@emsnewssupkis6453 You're obviously an idiot.

@@PK-re3lu ... your comment is so obviously accurate it made me laugh ... thanks

@@emsnewssupkis6453 how does someone "pretend" to be intelligent via writing???

@Gordon FornowHe claims only to have tried reading Chomsky, not having read him to know any better, so just let him wallow in his failed effort. I think he simply took pleasure without thinking to put chump and Chomsky together in the same sentence and wanted to share his delirious delight. How about Champion Chomsky for Critical Thinkers for a new book title someday, huh?

what is the human spirit? it is a nothing statement...has no meaning and does not exist.....the american experiment is different....and that has failed a long time ago...what this country is and what it could have been...have nothing in common

It should be over. At the bottomline of it, its enough! experimenting a human being is illegal.

Because most people have been bamboozled into thinking life is about getting stuff.

^^ That is my cynical pov. My hopeful pov is, we're here, everywhere, and we are a majority. We just haven't gotten it yet....how much power we have when we walk in the same direction.

Robin Crow The squirrel instinct and the paradise-seeking are absolutely natural instincts. It's as a friend told me. Don't accept the counterfeit version though. We accept cheap substitutes for the real good stuff which is actually free for the taking but others are destroying and taking away the simple and elegant beauty of nature, wildlife, and the simple pleasures like fresh food. As Noam pointed out, we should reflect on all those less fortunate as well.

@@robincrowflies Yes, 'getting stuff' is evil if one is a communist. Then everyone 'shares' or they are killed in prison camps. Government theft on the left is common and often leads to the deaths by starvation or other horrors as the rulers put in power by leftists end up pigging out on everything while starving everyone else like we see today in poor North Korea.

Robin Crow The choices we make define us. Albert Camus

Alhamdulillah

Absolutely, great minds think great thoughts the pictures cornel west and noam chomsky paints makes the monalisa looks like fake art

Our elders had been chemically castrated for the memory, our children have been chemically deprived of their minds with autism for and others their natural course of life with the use of chemicals like atrizine and glyphosate

Note the darkest of places are communist countries like North Korea.

@@emsnewssupkis6453 ain't lookin too bright, here in the States!

Lawrence Sneed Exactly. Be solid in your decisions.

And so is my dog!

Noam is smarter and more aware than probably anybody on the planet. :)

Brittany Gibson well he is definitely more eloquent.

Ya, but, Biden is 15 years younger. Maybe in 15 years(through the steady accumulation of wisdom), he'll be as smart as Noam is, right now? Ya think?

Robert Ziawinski And I trust my dog.
