    • @julians7268
      @julians7268 2 роки тому +9

      @SpotOn I believe that you're mistaken. I'm not overly worried about it. I think that as a parent, you should be engaged with what your child is learning, encourage them to engage with different ideas, and to not be afraid to adopt ideas different than those of their parents.
      That said, CRT is not good for children. To say it isn't taught is a massive misunderstanding of what level-headed people on the right are concerned about. It isn't that the theory is being taught in its entirety, but that methods and subjects derived from CRT are being incorporated into the education process as young as kindergarten.
      Both sides need to be able to have a rational discussion on this, though. The left and right largely believe that the other side is evil and scheming to destroy the things they hold dear. I am more on the right, but I understand and sympathize with people on the left in their desire to right past wrongs and to make the world a more equal place. I just disagree with the methods being used. I don't even disagree with all of them, but instead of being able to have discussions where learning, compromise, and progress can be achieved, everyone just yells and insults.
      I have started to wonder if this is actually a way for people to feel good about themselves without having to actually change or dedicate time to the issues at hand. You also get to avoid confronting the disappointment of learning you were wrong on a topic. Instead, just call those you disagree with a Nazi or a Communist and you can claim the moral high ground without having to put in any of the work. I'm sure at least some people subconsciously do this.

      @onetwothree4148 2 роки тому +5

      Let's be real. Manufacturing consent is not an impressive work, and Chomsky has always struggled in debates. Manufacturing consent repeatedly said "the propoganda model predicts" and then listed a retrospective analysis, almost always avoiding any predictions that could potentially be falsified. The few general predictions it made were largely invalidated by the rise of social media echo chambers. "The propoganda model" was not a robust model, and the number of counter examples it excluded easily exceeded its retroactive predictions (most ironically, failing to predict the success of Manufacturing Consent itself).
      Chomsky's paradox has always been that he must always assume most people secretly agree with him, elections be damned. There are virtually no famous leftists before him that are still upheld, because Chomsky's generation was the first of the ivory tower social experts to recognize that he had to claim democratic support.
      His greatest moment was his Buckley Vietnam debate, in 1969. And he ruined that by commenting, at the exact moment of Mao's Cultural Revolution, that "China has truer democracy than the US," in order to justify his support for the only thing chomsky has ever stood for: anti-capitalism.

So I find it doubtful that this is the rare occasion that he vaguely insinuates things, shortly after stating the exact opposite, that go against a lifetime of work.

This is an example of suppression of free speech which he admonished in his literal first sentence and it is objectively more minor than the removable of arbitrarily chosen books from school libraries which stifles the learning and very ability to speak of an entire generation. These are the precise talking points that made him who he is but all of a sudden now he’s changed? I think if y’all looked at this without the commentary of these two guys you’d see who really changed.

    The Republican banning of books (Morrison’s Bluest Eye is excellent) in response to the outrages of CRT is stupid and counter-productive but the idea that this is the only problem facing free speech is woefully ignorant and partisan. I think Chomsky has always fudged the facts. He rarely debates and prefers long, monotonous Rain Man-style monologues.

One can argue he started really losing it after the 80's and intensified his sophistry in domains he had no business of being in. But, the only thing I really admired about him was his unwavering stance on free speech. Even in heavy disagreement with his ideas, his quote on free speech is my favorite. But alas he has totally lost it. The last respectable thought he had, and he completely threw it out the window. Shame.

    I know Chomsky has always been put on a pedestal by lefties for his anti-war position (which was obviously admirable), but if you're at all familiar with Chomsky's actual field of expertise, linguistics and the development of human language, there's nothing old Noam has done in relation to free speech recently that's been remotely surprising. His theories around these issues, while cutting edge at the time, have now had more holes poked in them than swiss cheese. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with this, as knowledge evolves, but what has been troubling is the manner in which Chomsky has responded to legitimate detractors of his work. He's consistently acted in bad faith in any conversations or debates around deficits in his work, and in more recent years, has simply refused to defend his position because "ABC is an XYZ, so it's not even worth having a discussion." - Typical regressive mentality. Now the dude is 1000 years old, so I don't attribute his evolution to anything malicious, I see it more as just the natural transformation of a once great mind, into a scared old man. And you know, people who are afraid, like being controlled.
