Dr. Jim Fetzer/ Noam Chomsky's faulty LINGUISTICS Philosophy

Noam Chomsky has let down many truth activists and given clear indication of working with official versions that can't hold a candle to truth, a true gatekeeper of the left misleading thousands yet few realize that even in his ouwn academic field his grasp of reality and command of the status quo has left other scholars shut out all to the detriment of social advancment.

Well, abandoning a dying paradigm can challenge the weakminded. For openers, try PHILOSOPHY AND COGNITIVE SCIENCE, 2nd edition (1996). For more advanced students, try THE EVOLUTION OF INTELLIGENCE (2005), where I am more direct in critiquing the views of Chomsky, Fodor, Pinker and such. Let me know if you need some tutoring. From your comments, it sounds to me as though you may need a lot.

@JamesFetzerNews thanks Jim!

Chomsky is becoming more of a joke every day. He pretends to be an anarcho-libertarian but he loves big government and loves saying the UN should control the US. Totally pathetic. Anarcho-libertarians, minarchists, and palaeoconservatives correctly grant Chumpsky no quarter. Furthermore, Foucault was far more intelligent than Chomsky.

@RepublicConstitution so if Chomsky is not a "Anarcho-libertarian, minarchist, or palaeoconservative what is he?

[RepublicConstitution]

@paulagloria As I said, Chomsky claims to be an anarcho-libertarian but in his actions and the totality of his works, he tends to call for UN intervention in the US to restrict US power--this is the sign of a lover of Big Government. His attacks align with the socialist-leftist-liberal-big government-nanny state side of the paradigm if you wish to attempt to classify it. He hates traditional minarchist libertarians who call for a free market that is without government interventions.

@RepublicConstitution yes indeed the UN is a huge problem in regards to real science on cannabis. You can't get in the UN "club" without fu*king your country by banning cannabis - thus the trouble in Egypt came months ago when they violated and swarmed into the age old hashish cafes - the real criminals are those disallowing through Unconstitutional "laws" freedom of thought, action and choice.

This guy is not very smart. He sounds like an arrogant philosophy professor from a community college.

Paula, honey, stay with what you know (cooking, cleaning, making babies...)

Farther down the mumble mumble?

[niriop]

never been seen. I can only assume the paper of your colleagues was as poorly argued as you are here, probably taking the same aggressive tone you did in that journal of Synthese you edited (remember how disgusted everyone was?).

Oh yes, and as for Paula Gloria insinuating Chomsky, a Jewish son of a Hebrew scholar, is a Nazi because he believes in genetics: fuck you you ignorant cunt! Even Fetzer turned his nose up at your rambly bullshit. "That's really fascinating" Fucking clueless twat...

What a load of shit Fetzer; you know the debate amongst Chomsky, Skinner, Quine, Pinker, Piaget, Lakoff, Putnam, Fodor and all their supporters and detracters have been raging for DECADES ON END; there is no "censorship".

Your ideas on syntax are self-contradictory and cannot be seen in reality; all known grammars follow the same very basic rules of structure, and that children know them independently of direct experience. They simply cannot arise without distinct variations, which have [con]

@mistermoen Are you saying he isn't very smart because of how you perceive the way he sounds? Good logic.

[pedromartins]

His deep lack of understanding regarding linguistic concepts in general and universal grammar in particular is baffling.

"If there really were innate syntax it ought to be pretty simple to figure out what it is since everyone uses it." I was really surprised when I heard this. For this man, discovering the nature of mankind in its integrity is no difficult task, since innate things that everybody has/uses are simple to figure out. I bet he has a shelf just for his Nobel prizes.

With regards to linguistics/cognitive science or whatever, this guy has no familiarity with the literature on the topic he is discussing. He's not even asking the right questions. He's framing the debate in a completely idiotic way. First of all, a lot of the stuff he argues is already in the literature, its just ppl have more empirical evidence to back it up (i.e. languages besides English and more than just collocations of two words), and thus develop more sophisticated views on the topic.
