Noam Chomsky Responsibility and integrity: the dilemmas we face (Utrecht, Netherlands)

Noam Chomsky was born in Philadelphia and educated at the University of Pennsylvania, where he received his PhD. In 1955 he was appointed to the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he has served as professor of foreign languages and linguistics. He has also taught courses and lectured at many universities throughout the world, including Oxford University. Besides his work in the field of psycholinguistics, Chomsky is also well-known as a leftist activist and social critic. He was an outspoken opponent of the Vietnam War and has remained critical of media coverage of politics.

Chomsky visited Utrecht on the invitation of the Graduate School of Humanities, the Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS, the Centre for the Humanities and the Treaty of Utrecht organisation. His lecture related to the 'Social Responsibility of the Artist' series developed jointly by the Centre for the Humanities and the Treaty of Utrecht Foundation.

Chomsky got the forces correct in "manufacturing of consent", he just got the polarity wrong, because of his extreme bias.

Those who work in education and media are overwhelmingly extreme leftists.

We have been manufacturing mush heads to fall for back door Marxism in the form of global warming, feminism, higher taxes, gov forced integration.

We can return democracy to the US by purging the schools and media of liberal propaganda.

I actually liked the intro...

[DanLackey]

Chomsky comes on at 7:18 and remarks that he is not used to "such eloquent introductions," which are "a tough act to follow." Actually, he should have said that his introducer was a tough act to SWALLOW. If you want WINCING EMBARRASSENT then DON'T skip to 7:18.

the intro is soo "dutch"

[Shrooms00087]

While introductions introduce what is going to be introduced by the speaker, it never fails that they never explain why introductions are even necessary. So sick of hearing other people speak of the person who we want to hear.

Err. Cut the introductions, or make a note so the primate youtuber can remove it from his or her list of potential experiences.

Thanks for the upload.

I found the introduction fairly amusing.

[lipmes]

One of the worst introductions I've seen in a while.

The guy in the introduction describes his situation very well. The most logical conclusion though would have been: Cut the talk short, and give Chomsky more time.

Chomsky starts talking at 7:14
