Chomsky is a scammer, and utterly disliked thought the linguist community:

His theory of the language module (innate ability in humans to use language) is a confirmed scam.

In order to test the theory a group of infants would have to be isolated and raised without contact of other humans.

This isnt allowed in any country becuase of ethical restrictions.

He knew that.

He still scammed millions promoting it.

He isn't welcome to participate in any applied linguistics projects now and Instead spends his time lecturing on morals and other time wasters.

>>9181391
I wouldn't be surprised if Chomsky has a high but not genius-level iq, like in the 120s. He works so much and he loces learning, and he routinely credits his success to how hard he works. I think it was Richard Feynman who had a 110 iq but achieved much more than many people with 140+ iqs because he was a hard worker and very intellectually curious.

>>9181425

Feynman had an IQ of 125. He often talked about how he was only "above average" and most of his success was due to hard work rather than a supernatural intellect, but 125 is at the borderline genius level. The guy scored higher than anybody else in the country on the Putnam without preparation and broke Princeton's record score on their graduate mathematics/physics admissions test. He was probably a genius

>>9181398

nice

>>9185431
feynman wasn't a genius in the same standards as einstein but he should be an inspiration to all the above-averages of the world. if you watch his documentary you'll see that he was genuinely curious and wasn't out there to prove anything. he also had sex with lots of women, pursued interests outside of science and seemed to lead a generally great life.

I don't know how you define morality but I'd argue writing over 100 books, teaching at MIT and giving speeches and debates across the nation (all which present a case with sources to cover him) is better "morally" than anyone else I know.

>>9186481
Chomsky isn't an expert on Linguistics? I'd argue creating an entire branch in the study of Linguistics would denote a certain amount of expertise.

As for his books on power, economics, foreign affairs - who are the experts in these fields in your opinion? What defines an expert in your knowledgeable opinion?

how do you think lots of books and speeches show morality? being accurate may mean integrity but not morality.

I know a lot of people will disagree with this, I'm not even a big fan of him, but Ben Shapiro has incredible language and speech skills. Maybe it's just because he can talk really fast but there's something impressive about him in a debate situation.

He was a schizophrenic and thought that his head was going to explode because he incorrectly diagnosed what was actually the damage of a fungal infection in his brain from eating mould when he was a child as his consciousness expanding outside the parameters of his skull, it also fucked up his endocrine system and made him sweat heaps but he misdiagnosed that for himself too. Schizophrenics/psychotics have immense difficulty understanding physiological symptoms as the relationship between their conscious/unconscious mind is completely fucked.

You know nothing about linguistics, Chomsky is still studied thoroughly, and his latest important publication in the field was released in 2015. He is STILL influential in both linguistics and political science (where with influential I mean that everyone who will get into these fields will surely read a few of his books).

>In order to test the theory a group of infants would have to be isolated and raised without contact of other humans.
Wich is something that is often aknowledged by Chomsky himself. It's not like he is hiding it.

>He still scammed millions promoting it.
Maybe because his theories are actually worth studying? Do you think that he scammed the accademics of every university in the world? Give me a break.

>He isn't welcome to participate in any applied linguistics projects now and Instead spends his time lecturing on morals and other time wasters.
Yes, he is.

>I'd love to hear you expand on this

political analysis of current events doesn't hold relevancy. even if chomsky proves war crimes in Fateful Triangle, what impact is that going to have on the world? are we going to retroactively prosecute leaders from the 1980s?

the vast majority of books aren't deep at all. it's just him putting together shit he reads in the NYT while enjoying his comfy millionaire New England life working for the actual state while telling you and me how diabolical everything is and how we must revolt and change our lives. chomsky tells us all how horrible we are for being a part of this evil system while deflecting any and all analysis of his personal life and interested choices and avoidance of any personal sacrifice and lack of integrity. but yeah keep buying his "books" of collected ramblings from jet setting across the world.

nothing intellectual about a $15 100 page "book" about a topic in which he is no expert.

Chomsky has said
>'The pentagon is the most evil institution on earth; 'the military has no business on college campuses'; 'the US military is a menace to all human life on earth'; 'the military should be barred from offering the GI Bill because they corrupt campuses with money'; 'the military should not be allowed to fund research because they would corrupt the research'
BUT!
>Chomsky has been a contractor and grant-recipient from the Department of Defense for decades earning millions of dollars from DoD grants and fees to make the military more efficient. He continues to work at MIT specifically to have access to the DoD project that mas made him a multi-millionaire while paying for him to write several of his books
Scammer. He tells you 'don't permit X' while he earns millions doing X for 40+ years.
Chomsky says;
>'I ma a Socialist'; 'The world is the "us" of the lower 90% of earners versus the "them" of the top 10% of earners'; 'The rich must pay a much larger share of taxes'; 'tax shelters and tax avoidance are immoral and should be made illegal'; 'estate taxes must be higher and stronger so that wealth cannot become generational within families'; 'the rich are morally obligated to pay taxes to help the poor'
BUT!
>Chomsky himself is a top 2% income earner and has been for 30+ years; his home is legally owned by a family member to avoid estate taxes; the copyrights of his various books are owned by royalty trusts so that A) he pays no taxes on the income and B) the royalties will go to his heirs totally free of estate taxes. All of his personal wealth is in trusts and annuities designed so that he pays virtually nothing in taxes and everything is exempt from estate taxes
Chomsky says,
>'Personal property is a tool of the rich to suppress and oppress the poor'; 'intellectual property rights are evil and must be seen as an inherent negative'; 'copyright is just a form of pretectionism and is a bane to true free thought'
BUT!
>'he places prominent copyright notices on his works, charges fees to download his intellectual property, and sues people who violate his property rights
Chomsky says,
>"Large dorporations are just private tyrannies'; 'oil company foment strife and violence while destroying the environment; the profits they mafe are literally blood moeny'; 'pharmaceutical companies are built up on the sickness and disease of the poor - their money is wring from the cancer, coughing, and death of the poor worldwide'.
BUT!
>He is personally heavily invested in pharmaceuticals, oil firms, military equipment manufacturers, etc. and not in hedge or market funds, but directly
All this is public knowledge; anyone can track it down.
When Peter Scweizer asked him about all of this while writing a book Chomsky just said 'Do you expect me to live in a cabin in Montana?' as if it is one or the other.

Noam Chomsky is a multi-millionaire that got rich as a military contractor. He invested all of his money in Big Oil, Big Pharma, and in Lockheed Martin to double his wealth. He put his cash, in property, his stocks, and his copyrights into various tax shelters and such to avoid paying any taxes and to completely dodge the estate tax. He lives in a multi-million dollar mansion in a 99% White gated community with private armed security on patrol.
Now he charges universities $12,000 plus first class airfare and 4 star hotel rooms to come on campus and tell students that Capitalism is bad, rich people are evil, everyone should pay as much taxes as possible, the military is evil, the DoD should not be allowed to fund research, Big Oil/Pharma/etc. are evil, and that tax shelters are immoral.
