This is the academic version of when Neo is fighting all those Agent Smith clones.

I've listened to this at least half a dozen times and though I learned nothing new the first time it never gets old. It's like watching a bunch of balloons attack a cactus.
-
I am so grateful that I don't have to read 1000s of pages of primary sources to ge able to gain this perspective. Thank you Noam

this chomsky feller is is pretty smart :P
-
Chomsky is so sharp here. Super impressive.
-
32 years later and everything Chomsky has to say is just as true and relevant as it was when he said it. Sad, but hopeful that he left us his writings and speeches. He is still out there speaking truth to power today and we need that message more than ever.

Noam is the universe's gift to understanding.
-
Love him so much....You know, we don't describe Chomsky this way...but he is a brave person.
-
Wow...”Irrational submissiveness to power is a very dangerous thing.” - Noam Chomsky

It's great finally seeing this in its totality! Chomsky never ceases to amazing me.

Starts talking about the Queen in a Common Wealth country. Suddenly broadcast cuts out for a couple seconds.

For anyone seeking context for this, 1988 was the year Chomsky and Herman published their seminal work Manufacturing Consent, the central thesis of which is known as the Propaganda Model and it is now considered the most important and influential text on the subject of mass media pro-status quo propaganda. Any journalism course worth its salt teaches the Propaganda Model to its students as one of the fundamentals of media analysis.

As someone who has watched a great many Chomsky videos over the last six months, this is a fantastic Chomsky video.
-
The best part about this is when he blows the lid off of sports at 36:09
-
this looks like that painting of dogs playing poker
-
"In England, they still have a labor party, though they won't for long." Tony Blair became the leader of the Labor Party 9 years later. This is how you know someone knows what they're talking about; that they're working with an accurate political model, and that it has predictive power.
