Harris is too old a meme, that Peterson or whatever guy is the new (you)tube hotness

chomsky is the centre left version of sam harris. like zizek, he appeals exclusively to psueds. he's only name dropped by undergrads seeking other undergrads approval and by those attempting to build the image of a "well-read" person. all opinions from such people go straight into the bin.

What about name dropping Lacan and Hegel?

I don't know what that other guy's problem is. I too also myself found Chomsky's inestimable corpus of texterinos to be quite rather indubitably thoroughgoing in its extraordinary limpidity and unremittingly unflagging in terms of the singular loquacity and utter lugubriousness of its pellucid perorations. Mayhap one day, when my warlock training is complete here at Hogwarts, you and I can enter into a secret wizard's fellowship and collaborate in writing like complete fucking faggots together.

What makes you not a pseud?

Not thinking you're a pseud in fact makes you a pseud.

what a weasel
chomsky puts a pin right in the abdomen of harris' m.o. in this passage:
>And I’ll also put aside your interesting feeling that you see no challenge when your accusations are refuted point by point, along with a demonstration that you are the one who refuses to address the “basic questions” that you charge me with ignoring, even after you have learned that I had dealt with them quite specifically before you wrote, and in fact for decades.
the entire exchange is Harris feigning (?) incredulity while attempting to tie Chomsky to a peg he, Chomsky, continuously tops from the ground. It's the same in everything I've seen of Harris' 'debates', when he is not cowed into a weirdly smirking silence by the stunning display of a simple fucking syllogism.

came here to post this. Word salad doesn't make you sound smart OP

You're on the book board you stupid fucking faggot there is literally nothing to talk about here that is on topic besides old memes

I mean, Harris appeared to have pretended to have read at least one whole book by Chomsky, yet just about any of the reading I'd done in Chomsky directly refuted anything Harris stated. He refused to address the moral structure Chomsky explicitly laid for Harris, didn't seem to understand what he'd said until the PS, and then misrepresented it. It was hilarious, but fascinating, but sad. I'm surprised he has a following, but maybe Atheism is successful branding. On his site it looks like he mixes atheist belief with self-help shite.

Even his youtube citation was specious. He chose to back up his worst point, a point where he was building himself up by pointing to a prior dismissal of himself by Chomsky, with a document. It was ridiculous.

Chomsky's whole shindig here is refusing to attempt to make himself easy to understand in order to toot his own intellectual horn and getting angry and pissy at Harris for no decent reason.

I like chomsky but he's being an impractical obscurantist here with virtually no possible applicatio for the vague things he repeatedly says.

he speaks in half truths about politics over and over again and make allusions to things which would apparently refute Harris without just actually stating or citing them.

fucking
wew
please be memeing

I'll agree, although I think he reiterates points for Harris and gets frustrated that the fucker didn't decide to read any of Chomsky's considerable corpus before misrepresenting him and deciding he was worthy of having a conversation on his own terms about a trite issue Harris could've answered with a little research.

I'll agree that Chomsky could've more bluntly stated responses to Harris's hypothetical and to his moral hierarchy. After a while I started cringing that Chomsky continued to respond. I was glad when Harris "ended it", though neither seemed willing to let the other have the last word.

It was a bizarre pissing match. Chomsky could've behaved better but seemed justified in his responses. Harris just came off as a tit.

>Another claim that Chomsky is somehow dumb, with nothing to back it up

langij in duh jeanz murka ebil

This is pointless, but explain to me what a syntactic island is.

probably the parts of speech that can stand most remote from any sort of respective words without losing their meaning
but I dont need to read up on this to know that le grammar is genetic is fucktarded
