Young Noam Chomsky on Daniel Ellsberg (1971) 

tomitstube He will.

Amen.

It's great to know that he is still alive and doing well.

@@jenniemalloy7402 That's a beautiful point and very true. His writings and brilliant insights will be with us for as long as we're smart enough to utilize them. There are a lot of amazingly brilliant people in the world and Noam stands out among them. I generally don't get upset when someone that I don't know passes away but it's going to be a very sad day when we lose this man.

@@User-xw6kd How is his health? I hope he's well.

I can't bear to contemplate it. We will most likely be crying together.

The way he’s not slowing down one bit in his old age makes me feel like he could haha

The thought of celebrating "Noam Chomsky Day" every year would make his passing more bearable. His towering intellect, relentless honesty and global humanism are indeed a lighthouse.

@@TheJonnyEnglish I know he's still speaking regularly. He's 94 this December.

As far as all the written + audiovisual material he’s left us won’t be ‘erased’, he will remain among us. I doubt, though, his exceptionally lucid mind will ever touch a number of humans significant enough to change the global criminal + suicidal behavior of Homo ‘sapiens’. This very man, alas, is definitely much too smart to convince but the usual (un)happy few. Tech, especially, has made the anonymous mainstream ‘doxa’ far, far too powerful.

ufia-i agree.. i considered that man a complete j jerk for trying to cut chomsky off before he could answer. i suspect this backfired on him.. made many more sympathetic,open minded to chomsky's claims

Hahaha... touché!!!

Owning the libs to confuse the masses. Chomsky still got his points across.

@@johnmoran1317 that guy is like the 70s version of ben shapiro lol

@@uncensoredart6112 _I don't know ben shapiro..But i know chomsky well..and m,ostly agree with him[except for 911 and JFK's assassination.]

Yes!was super distracted by the incredible hair!cant front that,dude with receding hair line.This vid is priceless

You do know that alot of men go through male pattern baldness? And it's not their choice?

@@caldoreo doesn’t change the fact that he has good hair

@@callidusvulpes5556 gorgeous.

Beautifully put. Prof. Chomsky's integrity and character are absolutely aspirational.

​@@capicuaaawhere is this show now

A powerful mind . Scary smart .

No sorry that’s inscrutable.

So so true. And it is mind boggling how they fail to notice the profound distortion that underlies such a mindset.

​@@ad12bc34how did you find this

So glad so many have tried! Sad though, that they all have failed, but they still run the show.

@@chadsimmons4496 He happened to study linguistics, but he would have dominated any field that he studied. Chomsky is a special kind of genius that we're all too stupid to fully appreciate. Like Tesla, Tolstoy, or Mozart; Chomsky is so far ahead of his peers that's its hard to evaluate his place in history. I am genuinely going to miss him.

This comment rings so true after that debacle of a debate with the Bad Faith podcast. The hosts even thought they beat him after that lmao. So embarrasing.

​@@Maxarcc briana joy grey is a psuedointellectual who wants a media career and virgil texas is a really bad comedy writer. That they think they beat chomsky in a debate is really funny. I don't even fully agree with chomsky that voting for biden was essentially a moral duty but all of their arguments FUCKING SUCKED. But since their brand of leftism is just hanging out and having a good time with your other brooklyn friends the fact that they laughed and joked about how they beat him (when he wasn't there) means that they basically did win. The working class didn't but they don't actually care about them and spend their whole lives avoiding joining their ranks.

43, actually

I put that title in the search and came here

@@johnmulligan455 He was turning 43 years old that year, maybe this was before his birthday though

@@johnmulligan455ikay then

Put it into perspective.

the Fact that everybody knows who Chomsky is despite him not being on Cnn, Msnbc, Fox, etc

Unfortunately he is not as well known in the US as he is abroad.

I think it was William F Buckley

It was Buckley’s publisher actually. This interview must have been just before Chomsky flew the flag for Pol Pot. At the end of the day despite all of his copious amounts of bluster and indignation Chomsky has not achieved much . So what if his sanctimonious drivel dupes a proportion of the youth that are wet behind the ears .l don’t care anymore. As Machiavelli said “the vulgar are generally influenced by appearances , and most people are vulgar “

@@roughhabit9085 No, that's just you projecting your clear insecurities, Cowardice and malicious intentions and like the usual ultraconservative, offering nothing of substance, therefore accusiing the other of what you disseminate, which is utter drivel

Communists and Islamists love him, nobody else takes him very seriously

lol

hell yes he did.

and into my heart

Noam g-walks everywhere.

What’s the difference?

NotMEUS Led by Faith, not by sight! He was recently voted the 'sexiest philosopher alive' .

@@pragjyotishbhuyangogoi8363 Didn't know that title existed 😅

Crysus Bu Which he wasn't. He was being a bell end, sitting on a table like a child with the most frightful accent one could conjure up (trans-atlantic). Limited vocabulary and cheap rhetorical tricks coupled with half-decent elocution.

ugh the trans-atlantic accent lol

Lukasz Przek 😅😅😅😅😅

Being a bootlicker throughout is annoying enough.

So called refined speech is a tell tale sign of snobbery and faux intellectual agression

sydb Correct.

Well don’t get your knickers in a twist about it chum because mainstream media is all but dead

He's 93 so we're lucky to have him still. But you know what? His books and ideas will be young forever.

Yeah even the radicals despised him for supporting Pol Pot but hey they have selective memories when it suits.

Not really all that similar. The Pentagon Papers were way more important. Snowden did reveal U.S. collecting more information on it’s citizens than was admitted; Assange seemed to take sides in an election, and I lost respect for him when he pushed the baseless conspiracy theory about Seth Rich. I hope Assange is pardoned, but don’t think he has much credibility or importance anymore.

You could be right.. but not 100 percent sure... for hindsight is 20/20 Publishing the Pentagon Papers encouraged the U.S. to step back from military ventures. In 1975 or before, possibly the U.S. should have fully gone into Cambodia to rescue its people. .. even it meant coordinating with the Vietnamese Communist. Americans went through fatigue to fight overseas... but millions died in Cambodia. In 1983, I was arrested for civil disobedience and placed overnight in a private room with Daniel Ellsberg. He said, Sometimes, one needs to push someone away who, by chance, is blocking you from reaching a drowning We talked about the book, Experiment in Truth.... But, I applied political correctness before the term was widely known.. I wanted to question about the need for military force in Cambodia. I understand are militarism in southeast Asia destabilize Cambodia. Nevertheless, there is a time. We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Our earlier involvement being dirty... the baby being the helpless Cambodians. Our actions earlier that night was to stop the testing of the MX missle. The MX was part of Ronald Reagan's star wars. The Soviet Union could not continue to compete. .. and collapse. The outcomes are not black or white. It's good that the Soviet Union collapse.. not so good it nuclear information and materials end up on the black market. So, the U.S. backing away from overseas conflicts is not completely right.

Who is Anthony Russo?

Common people don't try so hard to be smart, which in a strange way undercuts a lot of Chomsky's lamentations on behalf of the common person. lol

A red one, you say?

Thank goodness. These reactionary morons with the affected transatlantic accent were cancer.

He is 43 there.

He is 162 here

@@jamesa2482LMAO

Well in the intervening years there has been a lot of socialist schooling performed, and a socialist industry always produces a poor quality product.

Right? And he was quite handsome!

@Aden Lind A lot of detailed, nuanced points that I don't care to argue in a comments section. Why would you care?

Yeah Chomsky is still required reading in any compsci program in the world.

Ha! Well, not really 😔
