More quotes by Noam Chomsky
There is massive propaganda for everyone to consume. Consumption is good for profits and consumption is good for the political establishment.
Noam Chomsky
U.S. has no feudal background, so institutions that remained in place in Europe did not remain in place here.
Noam Chomsky
It is only natural to expect that guilds will tend to protect their turf and to resist challenge.
Noam Chomsky
I have not suggested that the emergence of language is instantaneous. Rather, that the rewiring of the brain enabling an infinite array of structured expressions was in effect instantaneous. I have never heard of an alternative to this suggestion.
Noam Chomsky
We're human beings we're not robots. And face-to-face contact is something totally different than typing a text message and then forgetting about it.
Noam Chomsky
Who wrote the Bible? Current scholarship, to my knowledge, assumes that the material that constitutes the Old Testament was put together from various oral and folk traditions (many of them going far back) in the Hellenistic period. That was one of several currents, of which the collection that formed the New Testament was another.
Noam Chomsky
The desire for hope and change is easily understandable. In many ways it's even more dramatic in Europe.
Noam Chomsky
My feeling is that if any Republican was elected it would be almost a death knell for the species literally, just because of their attitude on climate change.
Noam Chomsky
Right now, we happen to be in a general period of regression, not just in education. A lot of what's happening is sort of backlash to the 60s the 60s were a democratizing period.
Noam Chomsky
We live in this world, not another one that we'd prefer, and sometimes it's necessary to follow painful paths if we hope to provide at least a little help for suffering people.
Noam Chomsky
One of the real problems of society is that its far too atomized, what sociologists call secondary associations.
Noam Chomsky
Given their unusual privilege, Western intellectuals can realistically accomplish a great deal. The limits are imposed by will more than objective circumstances. And about human will predictions are without value.
Noam Chomsky
The book Manufacturing Consent, which I co-authored with Edward Herman, begins with a description of the structure and institutional setting of the commercial media, and then draws some rather simple-minded conclusions about what we would expect the media product to be, given these (not particularly controversial) conditions.
Noam Chomsky
The development of space technology, including space warfare today, is similar in its technological-industrial significance to the development of navies a hundred years ago.
Noam Chomsky
We can, for example, be fairly confident that either there will be a world without war or there won't be a world - at least, a world inhabited by creatures other than bacteria and beetles, with some scattering of others.
Noam Chomsky
The invasion of Iraq was simply a war crime. Straight-out war crime.
Noam Chomsky
As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.
Noam Chomsky
Control is the source of strategic power.
Noam Chomsky
I think such an inquiry will reveal a rather different picture: namely, it will reveal a very strong tendency for the intellectuals who are respected and privileged to be those who subordinate themselves to power.
Noam Chomsky
The U.S. has the most dysfunctional healthcare system in the industrial world, has about twice the per capita costs, and some of the worst outcomes. It's also the only privatized system.
