Oof. You guys hate pretty hard on Chomsky. Whatever his faults (I'm sure they're many), he brought a lot of anticapitalist and anti-imperialist messages to the (semi) mainstream. You may argue that he was allowed to do so as he wasn't left enough, bur he was a big part of a lot of people's journey (mine included). I say give him his due and leave it there, at least in terms of politics/philosophy. Recent revelations around is relationship with Epstein excluded!
Most people here have a soft spot for him similar to Bernie Sanders. And he has some good work; people clown on him but ask around and people will still recommend him
this is what reading the new york times every day does to you.
too scared to defend Assad
Black shirts and reds is actually what got me
you hate chomsky for his political opinions, i hate chomsky for his linguistics opinions ^(and also his political opinions)^. we are not the same
IDK about natural languages, but his work has been useful in computing. We have him to thank for regex, for instance.
The Chomsky Hierarchy omits the recursive languages, which are one of the most useful and interesting.
Well now I know who to hate anyway
What do you dislike about him linguistically? I'm only familiar with his contributions to generative grammar/language which seems pretty okay in my.understanding
almost old enough to be president
old if true
dined at 95 years old 😔
Human ent
The real question nobody is asking: why?
every time the earth does a complete revolution around the sun, you become 1 year older. The earth has revolved around the sun 95 times since Chomsky was born
