  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

How are the bets on Chomsky these days?

Well he can't live forever.

But as far as I can tell, he is still recuperating from his massive stroke of 2023?

I suspect that he now really lives on fully in his own past academic and intellectual accomplishments.
 
I remember coming across some of Chomsky's political speeches some years ago, where he talked about what the U. S. government was really up to. My reaction was, here's this guy saying all this stuff, AND THEY LET HIM LIVE!!!???

I've sometimes wondered why they didn't throw him in the nut house like Ezra Pound after the war. Pound was a Nazi sympathiser but if they'd convicted him of treason he'd have been sentenced to death, which would have caused a huge outcry as he was so highly regarded in the literary world (though God knows why); so he was declared loony and put in an asylum.
 
I should take it as an insult in so many ways, but I do not actually care that much about that poor pile of...
 
Remember what happens in democracy: you are allowed to say anything, as long as what you say is taken as merely "your own opinion", that is, is taken as your own shit, and has no bearing and no real influence on the regular course of things, or on the mainstream opinion of the regular course of things.

Choms has been allowed to fester in his own seething academic backwater for decades but, eventually, anyone can end up becoming annoying...
 
in the nut house like Ezra Pound

I've been looking for further information on this subject. It's very interesting. There's lots of discussion about separating Pound's alleged insanity, his alleged genius and his poisonous world view, mostly just smart alecks argy-bargying on EngLit forums, but I also found this interesting and even-handed essay which will give you something to ponder while you're having your elevenses.

The poet and translator Robert Fitzgerald visited Pound to get assistance in his translation of Homer’s Odyssey, but soon questioned the type of man he was colluding with. He wrote to Pound, “You… chose to plead insanity rather than stand up to trial. If there was something you wanted to fight for aside from yourself you could have fought for it then".

 
The sin that buries Pound's memory is to have shout out loud what the know-better good people and pillars of society can silence and disguise better: people attending dinners talk and smile to to people who, having no personal intellectual work or compromise in which to coil up, are very aware of the fact that the pillar o their own [social] life is being able to disguise their own stench, waiting until it is socially considered fragrant.

Why do they always said that no discussion on politics, sex and religion while at table (except in France: for one thing they pride in taking themselves for the true bearers of the torch of civilization): social gatherings would be instantly finished for Anglos.

Spain just got through a sort of civil Civil War concerning independence and political bipartisanship: families and "friendships" have been destroyed during the past seven years or so.

The Jews say, “Ezra is the son of God,” while the Christians say, “Christ is the son of God.” Such are their baseless assertions, only parroting the words of earlier disbelievers. May God condemn them! How can they be deluded ˹from the truth˺? -

Of what sort?
