ITT: intellectual black belts

You first OP.

...

...

Tell me about David, why does he wear the bandanna?

To prevent his brain from splattering all over the place should it explode

I'll take it.

finally someone aknowledges it

thanks buddy

Thanks senpai

Is he wearing it right now in his coffin?

>When we look outside of that on which we depend we ignore our unity; looking outward we see many faces; look inward and all is one head. If a man could but be turned about, he would see at once God and himself and the All.

Yeah you're a real pill alright

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.

Dude's fingernails are really fucked up

Chumpski is a person who got his politics at 14 and hasn't advanced since.

He has the politics of a sheltered intellectual

nice politics of a sheltered idiot ;)

>He still scammed millions promoting it.

I don't think you know the definition of a scam

Agreed

...

yeah hes literally a genius, read 1k pages per hour in his youth and retains all of it, can recite huge amounts of poetry and prose by memory.

you know nothing about linguistics

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.

Chomsky is an eye-opener the first time you read him, just don't turn into one of those people who cite him repeatedly during arguments

>loves learning

thank you

Why is Chomsky's picture here? To contrast with actual thinkers?

this guy
is almost right.
Chomsky is a con man. His linguistics is OK, but the politics/economics/etc?
All bullshit he peddles for $$$.
He'll even admit it.

I heard that he wore it because he wanted to be some kind of literary rockstar. The Axl Rose of literature. I also heard that as he got more popular he began to hate it because the realised how pretentious and cringeworthy it was.

Does this mean that I'm smart now?

>Arguments
Logicism is anything but intelligent. Intelligence is control.

>The cognitive 1%ers
Top 1% isn't even smart.

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

nice

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 know i come off as a bit silly, but deep inside i'm actually profoundly intelligent

He had an imagination immeasurable by this or that normie test. Wriggling around on his office floor, pretending to be, for instance, an electron.. truly, a shaman of Science!

...

>tfw you finally make it
:)

He won't admit it. He defends his positions vigorously
And in the theme of all Chomsky criticism on here, there's no proper or logical criticisms

>cognitive
what does relevant have to do with anything
lady gaga is relevant

nice trips
nice evidence

you've convinced us

some of these idiots I swear, imagine this poster and Chomsky on any topic. It's the equivalent of dogs barking at the moon

16.6 pages every 60 seconds
that's 1 page every 3.6 seconds.................

If Noam is an intellectual 1%er, this world is pretty stupid.

Strong analogy

mein gott. this brilliant plan to farm (You)s AND build good will??

you, sir, are the true intellectual 0.0001%.

>Chomsky book
you mean "collected interviews on topics of which I am no expert"? them book royalties must be nice for a state-pensioned north eastern lifestyle

>spends his time lecturing on morals
aka telling other people how they should live while deflecting any consideration of his own lifestyle conflicts

He's much more likely a .000001%er
and yes this world is pretty stupid

...

Aaaa duuu

kek

What lifestyle conflicts?
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.

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?

>anarchist

>asked "what is actual anarchism"
>kibbutzim bro!
>i lived there but quit it for working for the government
>but anarchism works!
>don't ask me about my family or personal life
>but this is how you should live

>books on power, economics, foreign affairs
just commentary of reading the NYT.

most of these "books" have no relevance other than the year or so after publishing.

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.

There's only one answer. And you know it.

Chumsky is a commie usurer (a slimy kike)

>Noam "Pol Pot did nothing wrong, Mengistu Haile Mariam didn't even exist, I never heard of Francisco Macias Nguema and have no idea what KGB means, but I'm sure that Pinochet and the CIA are the most evil entities in the history of mankind" Chomsky

Muslims are incapable of intellect

Great question. As there essentially is no clear answer as morality is essentially the same thing as love let's look at it as Socrates would. He would probably start by saying well it would depend on what the books were about wouldn't it?
Have you ever read a book by Chomsky?

He is a Lebanese Christian you ignorant twat

>anarchist
what is this a lifestyle conflict to?
>work for the state
MIT is a private uni
>asked "what is actual anarchism"
what
>kibbutzim bro!
ok
>i lived there but quit it for working for the government
huh
>but anarchism works!
I think you have anarchism and anarcho syndicalism confused. Furthermore this would make a whole whole whole lot more sense to you if you were to read even one of his books - which you have not obviously
>don't ask me about my family or personal life
...what does this have to do with anything
>but this is how you should live
He's doing pretty fine

Arabs are incapable of intellect.

>just commentary of reading the NYT.
it's amazing how much commentary, backed with evidence and sources and models he can come up with just out of his ass

most of these "books" have no relevance other than the year or so after publishing.
I'd love to hear you expand on this

Yes, the government is pure goodness, major multinational multi-billion dollar corporations are here to help, they don't care about maximizing profits, they'll take a cut to help you out, and how was the news today? Learn anything? How's the kool-aid?

Lebs aren't capable of sapience

USA! USA! USA!

neck yourself socialist

Oh fuck checkmate motherfuckers this shit is that irrefutable profound shit

Why do you have to be so defensive and build a strawman just because I mentioned Chomsky notoriously downplaying of communist crimes?

Because he is a useful idiot, much like Cucksky

Thanks!

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.

Yeah, sophists usually are quite impressive.
