There is a part around 40m where he doesn`t do much more than sign books, just jump to 44m if you`re fed up with it.

What a treasure Chompsky is. Thanks Tada for the awesome post/find. Watched it all the way through.

I first `met` Chompsky about 15 years back, in his book Necessary Illusions. What an eye opener. I decided he`s an evil horible writer, who writes such huge long sentences (which is odd considering that he is a linguist), that go on for so long, and that contain so many ideas, all interrelated but seperate, causing a person to forget exacltly where the topic started before they are even through reading it, even if they ar a computer programmer or lawyer or somesuch, that it therfore becomes a major hurdle for the average person to read his works, which is ironic because indeed it is to the common man that his message of infuriating betrayals of all decency, common sense, and humanity (one could say indeed lack of all compassion whatsoever) by our supposedly elected officals, most needs to be broadcast, and that his most excellent insight is therefore so often not shared.

I hope he would chuckle to read that.

Anyways, I think the guy is fabulously brilliant, but still misses some critical things. While it`s a good reminder to hear him point out that some things are indeed improving, I think there are some other factors that we face, that are one-off occurrences in human history, like the once-through history of fossil fuels, the one-way change of technology, and the one-way progress of human population. Some of these factors could simply go critical, and the kind of slow improvements he clearly recognizes while many of us would despair, may well not be enough to help us any. I`m not talking some armageddon shit, just one-time clusterfucks that could easily do us in.

Cheers ;)
