I think this guy is a plant and a fraud, a fake presented to the masses as "an intellectual" to dumb them down.>muh grammar is innate>nobody knows how language worksYeah, this is what they want you to think. It's brainwashing. Meanwhile the elite study the Trivium.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3U6MsdBalgThe entire subject of linguistics is bullshit.>muh it's not prescriptive, it's descriptive
It all goes back to Hume Is-Ought casuistry—as if any category exists without justification (ought), that is: There is nothing before the subject/mind without reason to recognize it. Our eyes see blue because we had a nutritional cause to differentiate it, the need preceded the objectivity. Objectively there is no blue any more than there are infinite hues that WE agree are blue.Now we approach the border between skepticism on one side or platonism (realism) on the other. Which returns us to ought (teleology), why/reason/ought/good precedes being—there is no is without ought.
Chomsky is the kind of person who I constantly see ignorants try to assail because they don't like the implications of him being right, not because they have actual, serious arguments against him. He correctly points out that the poverty of the stimulus argument implies that humans are biased towards learning language in specific ways, as we otherwise wouldn't be able to learn them so quickly with so little input, and so it makes sense to understand how we do this and why humans seem to have a unique affinity for understanding and seeing things recursive structures that doesn't exist in other animals. This I've never seen any serious argument against, even if every specific language model we have is flawed.He's one of the few classic intellectuals we still actually somehow have.
>>25332748Chomsky Honk.
>>25332741>>25332748Nope. He says we don't actually know how language works. This is bullshit, there has existed a very deep understanding of how language works for millennia, but they occult it and hoard it, and then they present shit like Chomsky to you instead to distract you from the truth.
>>25332763>Nope.>Retard thinks I'm agreeing with Chomsky Honk
>>25332763Thinkers? Books?
His connections to epstine and his constant attempts to calm down any lefty movements make me think he is a glowieEven in the 2000s i never liked him because he just talks like such a boring old man tard, i cant stand his voice.America does not produce philosphers, are at least americans dont care about its own philosphers, always found it odd like he was the one promoted in the media
>>25332773Greatest philosopher since Leibniz was American.Though, quite ironically, exact same thing happened to him as what happened to Plato. Neopragmatists have nothing to do with Peirce or James. Much like New Academy.
>>25332772Study everything to do with the Trivium.https://archive.org/details/the-trivium-the-liberal-arts-of-logic-grammar-and-rhetoric-sister-miriam-josephhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOcy6RHw7A8It's in Freemasonry, the second degree.https://sacred-texts.com/mas/sof/sof28.htmhttps://youtu.be/IvYaOtciyfk&t=18430
>>25332741I think this is very attractive but not necessarily true. I believe it most days but without reason. You can—I'm too dumb to explain it right—question everything forever. Maybe the only real choice is "to be or not to be", IDK>>25332763You're an idiot, Chumpsky notwithstanding
His utterly retarded opinions of Zizek are what pisses me off about him. It seriously betrays Chomsky's limitations as a thinker.
When we create a new idea the original kernel is a spontaneous hypothesis that leaps out from the depths of our soul. After we have this hypothesis our mind becomes a simulation, we torture the idea and try to find every scenario in which it doesn't make sense. Sometimes this process happens on a macro scale, the idea having survived the simulations of its original mind gets transmitted to the next to be scrutinized there. Its why an idea is described as a 'virus'; as intellectuals we are slaves to ideas and not vice versa. By the mere act of understanding the idea you are bound to serve as it's next simulation. To me Russell -> Chomsky -> Dawkins is one of these inter-person-train-of-thoughts. Dawkins being the Q.E.D, proof by contradiction. Let's not try that again.
>>25332726>trying to argue with Chomskys professional worklel, kek
>>25332748>He's one of the few classic intellectuals we still actually somehow have.He had a stroke in mid-2023, cant talk, wife took him for respite care to her family in Brazil (I think due to some issues with his kids?)
>>25334705>He had a stroke in mid-2023, cant talkHence the 'somehow'. I'm amazed he's actually still alive given his age and general condition. I expected him to pass off years ago.
>>25334709He should have before he undid all of his freedom of speech advocacy by saying governments should censor the internet.
>>25334703Universal grammar was overturned well over a decade ago, bro.
The fuck is this thread about? Chomsky has been irrelevant in linguistics for half a century, nobody believes UG is a thing
>>25332726grammar is innate. birds do it. people do it. but you cant even articulate what grammar is innate means, can you?trivium KEK no one cares. they want NXIVM.you are bullshit. and short. and you dick is tiny.
>>25334884OP's cock is innate to your mother's mouth.
>>25332726Universal Grammar is the accepted model in Linguistics, there might be other linguistics but you can't do anything in the field if you don't accept UGThe most egregious and frankly dishonest grotesque abuse by him of human neurology is the Language Acquisition Device he championed but now have quitened about it
