  • N.Chomsky,now we are talking smarts,no matter the age,he really makes sense . Need man like him in politics.

  • thanks a massive bunch for uploading

  • Whatever you think about his ideas, you have to stand in awe of his energy. I want to see him live a long long life.

  • socialism HAS NEVER and will NEVER work

  • @th86stone What about anarcho-syndicalism?

  • @PolitcalIslam Without competition, the strive for excellence and innovation erodes. Nice in theory, but not feasible. imho

  • @th86stone Union control of the government seems to bother me a bit, too. Organised labour is not bad, but there is a limit with me.

  • @PolitcalIslam i agree

  • Noam speaks 3:29

  • Am I watching history?

  • My life goal is to be the Hispanic equivalent of Noam Chomsky. :)

  • @Loltochapel Same here.

  • @kiladan Good and we must encourage people of all colors to find their inner Chomsky and Zinn. Power to the people!

  • Noam Chomsky bears resemblance to Bilbo Baggins. Why do I find that comforting?

  • ww w.a ljazeer a. com /indepth/opinion/2011/11/20111­111101711539134.html

    Please translate it and share it with all ASEAN countries.

    The wall st tsunami and OWS give baby boomers one last chance for helping an evolution. Don't leave it vaporized. You're doing this for the kids of your kids.

  • This video has an audio sync problem. Just wanted to point that out.

  • If I get the money, I'm getting his face tattooed on me.

  • Why have we so many protesters and a very few leaders? Many warm hearts and almost no scholars!

  • @tstruss912

    Hahahaha. This old bastard is part of the 1%, makes more a lot from his salary as institute professor, speaking fees, and is worth more than $2 million, made possible by selling his books in the free market at the profit-maximizing price. When your head is *occupying* your ass, it's pretty hard to get acquainted with reality. The sooner this maggor dies the better.

  • That woman has a beard.

  • @dolotsofacid OMG your right! Bit strange but who cares I allow her the freedom to keep it :P

  • I read the comments bitching about audio before watching this, now I see why they were made. I fought through it though because it's Noam Chomsky.

  • Man, youtube is one of the best things to have happened to mankind :)

  • Don't ever die Noam. You are one of the best persons in the history of humankind.

  • @ashutoshmikku He's Jewish and doesn't have any significant health issues, so he still has quite a few years left.

  • @PolitcalIslam

    What has Jewish got to do with this?

  • @ashutoshmikku Jewish people have longer telomeres, meaning slower ageing, and one of the high life expectancies of any ethnic group.

  • The two mics are not his fault--- they needed an amplifier, a sound mixer, effects post processor to boost the mid range and clamp the bass of Noam's voice. What is Noam's fault is the rambling five minute preface that he does. Don't get me wrong, I've listened to more Chomsky than most, and this is not one of his better speeches, but you know god bless him for going up there and helping intelligently process what's happening.

  • @negutron I'm sure the cold air would have an effect on your performance. It's 45F in Boston.

  • 2 mics lol.... Is he speaking at the Audio Visual Clown College?

  • Fun to see Ben Bernanke step by at 08:14...

  • @900DucatiSS Why would you say something like that. I don't wish death on anybody, even the people I disagree with politically. You need to learn to have respect for different views.

  • @23lFrench Death comes to everyone, The sooner he stops spouting his pernicious nonsense to his cultist sycophant followers the better.

    Respect for his views? Someone who spews his drivel about the USA being evil and a terrorist nation while living in the most expensive part of Cambridge Massachusetts? Someone who spews his socialist-anarchist nonsense so he can get rich while he censors people he disagrees with at MIT? Nope, no respect for the quintessence of hypocrisy that he is.

  • @900DucatiSS O no! Not a socialist anarchist! My worst nightmare! O no1!!!121` Wtf is a socialist anarchist? He's an anarcho-syndacalist.

    Would you prefer Chomsky live in a hole in the ground while shedding light on the fact that the U.S. is the largest terrorist organization in the world? That doesn't sound too practical. Every person deserves to have a place to live, and so does Noam. Your logic here is reactionary and infuriating.

    How does Noam Chomsky, a human being, censor anyone?

  • @stevman171 Ive seen anarchy in the aftermath of Katrina. You wouldn't last.

    I actually would prefer that Chomsky would -not- live in a hole in the ground.

    If you think that the USA is a terrorist organization you should leave. Are you lazy or another moral coward?

    If the economic framework in the USA is something he as declared himself against he should take a stand and not benefit from it. Otherwise it's hypocritical.

    Chomsky has censored his critics at MIT. He is an absolute hypocrite.

  • Please listen and understand,

  • I don't get how this works.. But, I was one of the 288 that viewed Noam's lecture on the livestream. I am so happy that the views keep growing! Wow, Wow, Wow..

    I spread the word of the lecture (in my own way everyday)!

  • He was such a good sport about those damn mics. What a great man.

  • ONce the economy turns around (and it will) and all these poeple have jobs, and are getting rich, this whole thing wil be lost and forgotten.

  • Those brave people who are occupying Boston have disabled my ability to comment on their Facebook page. Apparently the free exchange of ideas only extends to comments that buy what they're selling. No alternative views allowed. What a great cause!

  • Wow...  Chomsky's getting old. I really hope he's staying healthy.

  • No assertion is ever made by this man without hard evidence to support it. There's no Conservative equivalent to noam Chomsky. I'm not sure the Cons even have any intellectuals?

    Imagine Sarah Palin or Georgie Bush in a live debate with Noam.

  • lol @ "cant hear me? sorry." 14:39.

  • Ok Noam, now balance this plate on your head, would you?

    And, did that woman have a *beard*? That totally freaked me out. Which is probably exactly what she wanted, but that's ok I guess.

    Synch audio/video, please!

  • @qloey

    How the Hell did you even notice that? Can you stop focusing on superficial things please?

  • 2 mics spell audio disaster. Too painful to listen to.

  • If the Koch Brothers had given millions of dollars this would have been a lot better organized, inside a warm hotel somewhere.

  • You are really a bunch of little bastards focusing on the mics and the quality of the video. Wake up guys and stop bitching about details! Revolutions are not engineered in studios by artists.The content of the speech is more important than the media or the sound but ARE YOU LISTENING?

    It is the best video of the year ! NOAM CHOMSKY TALKING IN THE STREET AMID POLICE CAR SIRENS AND LIGHTS!!! THUMBS UP!! THE REVOLUTION HAS STARTED!!!

  • Emerald Princess, thanks. I'm at 8:26 and so far the audio is more than easy enough to understand. I think it's understandable that essentially, at a protest organized by whomever can volunteer their efforts that sound wouldn't be professional; I think Noam would understand. the highs seeping in causing feed-back like twinges are tolerable ! :)

  • does that damn speaker have a beard? I mean, come on people, it's bad enough liberals and progressives have the stereotypes they do, we don't need a bearded woman as the MC at the OWS protests... jesus.

  • @donluchitti this woman is beautiful and obviously not afraid to be herself. this movement isnt about going along with the status quo. are you part of the problem or the solution?

  • Comment removed

  • @loveearth3355 *edied for grammar* I was being facetious, I realize criticizing her qualities is inimical to unity and pluralism. What I'm frustrated about really I suppose, is not seeing that more 'average' people, who espouse average habits (such as women who wax facial hair) aren't more the face of OWS. It's frustrating whenever we feel stereotypes about our alignments are verified to be true but even more frustrating to me to realize that this movement is most populated by d fringe.

  • @donluchitti I am frustrated as well. I had to stand up for the woman! Meant no harm.

  • @loveearth3355 ;that mainstream America is still so incognizant of the need to populate the OWS movement. forgive my shallowness.

  • Very awesome. Although, very disorganized as well. Hard to concentrate on Mr. Chomsky when people are in the way and shoving two mics in his face.

  • @EmeraldPrincessity that was as close as I could get

  • @dwgthed shitty how inconsiderate people can be. it's more important on youtube, then it is to be there to see it.

  • @kpopRC

    I live hundreds of miles away!! I hope you are not speaking to me!!! Should I quit my job? Just to be in Boston in person?

    You might be missing the point!

  • @chadmunsey i was more talking about the people obstructing the camera's view, and how it would be nice if they understood more people will see this video on youtube then there in person. no hit on you what so ever chad.

  • Comment removed

  • was up guys, the spirt of the speaker is not about how well the mics are placed, he has a message and he is happy to be part of OWS and hes an example of humility and brightness, good thinker, old soul... thnak you

  • 2 mics 1 Chomsky!

  • Get him away from the F*cking speaker. That thing should be far away from him. then you can crank it more!!!

  • This man is brilliant :)

  • @deeroni9577 Indeed. You should see how many books he reads, it's not even funny...

  • Audio out of synch, two microphones,... You need to do better planning next time.

  • @boredashell18921 You should have tested your audio system before he came on someone else...

  • somebody needs to edit out the 1st 4 minutes leading up to when Noam actually starts speaking STAT. please.

  • transcript needed

  • @lourak You are a fool. Do a little research.

  • ahahahha this old bastard cracks me up! He's always out there annoying the elite, and is therefore my hero.

  • @tstruss912 The elite aren't his audience, I doubt they take much notice, and most of them who come into contact with his views probably are too indoctrinated to comprehend them.

  • @autoarbitaster You've never read all the hateful articles and letters about Chomsky? Google it sometime. The elite hate him with all their heart. He is the worst of the worst in their minds: a guy who should have been one of them, or at least quiet....but he went traitor on them. They hate his guts. I love his guts.

  • @tstruss912

    Hahahaha. This old bastard is part of the 1%, makes more a lot from his salary as institute professor, speaking fees, and is worth more than $2 million, made possible by selling his books in the free market at the profit-maximizing price. When your head is *occupying* your ass, it's pretty hard to get acquainted with reality.

  • @LogicalFlawDetector Two million for being a world-famous professor, speaking every week, and putting out about 100 books is not that much. He could have made much, much more if he would have been a good boy and gone along with power, like you. Also, the 1% slogan is bullshit--Chomsky has said so. It's the FRACTION of one percent that is politically active that is the problem, not the 1%. They just use that number because it's easy on the ears. P.S. What about the protests scares you?

  • @tstruss912

    It always annoys me when these idiots commit that fallacy. It's well overused.

  • @AltairEgo1 The 1% thing? Ya....I really want to know who came up with that bullshit...it made it too easy for the elite to declare "class warfare". It should have been framed in some other way...how, I'm not sure. I'm sure Lakoff would have some ideas.

  • @tstruss912

    Yeah, it gives them too much room to call people like Chomsky a hypocrite (even though it should be obvious to others that it's a glaring fallacy). Hell though, they might as well not criticize anything then. Don't complain about traffic congestion, because without roads they'd have to walk to work.

  • 14:41 'hurry up' don't they know who Chomsky is!?

  • wow, somebody needs a quick audio lesson..

    dear occupy boston av person,

    2mics, fucking hilarious. Noam deserves better.

    You want this guy heard, plan better, watch some youtube videos about PA placement, gain structure and using an eq effectively. how embarrassing for you.

    

  • @gride9000 So go down there and help them, you goon, bring down yer good mics and yer PA and lend it to them and show them how to get good sound. Don't just sit at home and complain. :)

  • @ingeberge If someone planning this event asked me and Noam was talking within a reasonable distance and I wasn't getting paid to do audio, I would be there in a heart beat. I volunteer my services often. You are in fact the goon sir.

  • @gride9000 considering this isnt x factor or american idol i think we shoud give them a break, they are running things on a minimum of resources and funding, they are more often using shouting than mics in protests. This comment seems to be entirely unrealistic, are you on another planet? "Who will offer the resources for redundant mics?" Shouldnt that ought to be the question?

  • @shrapxnal Noam's words deserve better, why? Because its important, and hearing audio that is mixed and recorded well allows people to be more engaged. They had a PA, mixer and a Beta 58. That all they needed, but it was very poorly utilized. Knowledge will win the war of the %1 not excuses

  • @gride9000 No need to be so harsh, yo. It's not surprising that the audio arrangement isn't optimal. They're obviously working with serious constraints in hand -- what with a low-budget, an outdoor setting, etc. I'm sure they'll be working to improve things as the lecture series goes along.

  • @gride9000 Well why don't you go up there and help them do just what you said?

  • noam starts at 3:20

  • Is it just me or is this video totally out of sync?

  • that woman definitely had a goatee....but besides that awesome video

  • @jaskar22 Who cares, I'm sure radicals don't care much for social expectations. I mean personally I prefer my women facial hairless, but who cares if someone chooses to be comfortable sporting what nature gave them!

  • Thanks for uploading this.

  • @Xsublime28xX I second that.
