People hate me for this for some reason. https://twitter.com/yashalevine/status/592547690950459392
I mean, it is a historical fact that multiple wings of America’s security apparatus funded Chomsky’s very Randian linguistic theories because they thought it would help them create the ultimate AI weapon against the Soviet Union. https://mobile.twitter.com/yashalevine/status/809038316003872769
And Chomsky — like the people at Tor — always argued that the Pentagon is totally clueless about what they’re funding. And that goes against his entire theory of institutional power. Chomsky has a very schizoid split brain.
I get it that Chomsky was your gateway to leftwing politics as privileged college kid from the suburbs. Revere him if you want.
