This man has help me grow. Thank you Noam Chomsky. Thank you very much.
-
The genre of the intro music is educational synth
-
imagine being 7 years old and saying to your parents, "power is always illegitimate by assumption"

It's amazing how diverse the comment section is in terms of years. You can see comments from 1 year ago, 12 years ago, and 3 weeks ago all next to each other and everything in between and outside. Some day people in the future will be reading this comment and all we all have a common interest of listening to this man.

chomsky may be minimalising his importance, but his role as a conduit of ideas, as an analyzer and a thinker is not to be underestimated. he helped me to develope a logic and a way of thinking that supports my intuituve convictions. everytime i read him, or see a clip like this one, he puts a bit of gasoline on the fire inside me. if, in my own very small way, i'm one of the 'heroes' who fight the daily battle, it's partly thanks to him. he's one of the greatest thinker of this time!
-
Chomsky's speaking style bears witness to his respect for truth and reason. No tricks, no gimmicks, just descriptions and explanations.
-
I like this interviewer. He's unbiased towards all of his interviewees and asks the right questions.
-
It's fair to say that it is extremely rare to find a single person who's devoted to bringing moral intellectual arguments in the pursuit of peace, that has NOT be highly influenced by noam. Every time i tune into his work, whether it's through interviews or his essays, i leave significantly more educated than i was before i started. Thank you

You don't need university. You need 2000 hours of Noam Chomsky talks.

May Professor Chomsky live one thousand more years and, then, some! Thank you so much for your contributions to humankind, the world is a better place because of you!
-
One of my favorite human beings.
-
things I got from this: 1) apply scientific standards to history and political claims. 2) Joing others to better your community's conditions. 3) those who seek to use violence have the burden of proof to show why those actions are justified (hard to meet). 4) get more informed... and buy more books from Chomsky :) this guy is fresh air to my failing hope for humanity. thanks, man!
-
I'm crying because I've never been able to express myself in the manner this man has and also coming to the conclusion that I'm not crazy even though I've been called it by so many close to me, thank you for that validation.
-
Who would have thought, a poor disabled criminal from the ghetto is the most educated person Noam Chomsky has ever met.
-
Everyone needs exposure to Noam
-
Excelent interview with the mind that will be a part of history as long as this civilisation exists.
-
The starting tune is vicious! :)
-
Legendary talk! I noticed that Noam Chomsky has quite a large presence on youtube. Could it be that he is the No. 1 "youtube" academic? He certainly is the most quoted living philosopher! Best wishes!

Lol, I love the intro music to these videos. I really do. And maybe this is just me, but I feel like if Harry Kreisler had a sort of personal theme song, the intro music to these interviews would be it. Just imagine him walking down the street and looking around distractedly while this music plays in the background. I dunno. Makes me laugh every time.
