I acquired a certain degree of elation with regard to my synaptical representation of the conceptual personality of Noam notwithstanding the trivial action of merely ascertaining the visual stimuli of this source, but susequent postviewing, as it were, of this postmodern clip of exquisite relevance to comtempary events.
@MrGutmenschentum Postmodernism would not make us of the word "trivial," precisely because "depth" and "essence" is claimed to be an illusion of the surface.
@AndrewMann552 Lol. I think it was a joke because postmodernism rejects the idea of certainty in knowledge and the clip cuts off after Chomsky says "I have no idea what that means." Sorry to ruin the joke for everyone.
@lamborger That's what is so funny about this comment. The people who don't have an understanding of postmodernism are always baffled or angered by this clip. But if you have some idea about the arguments, whether you agree or not, the video is an obvious play on the very ideas about context and meaning that postmodernism champions.
