When people say do you believe in God? what do they mean by it? Do I believe in some spiritual force in the world? In a way, yes. People have thoughts, emotions.

My memory - faded, as I say - is that Paul Johnson was trying to vilify all intellectuals who were at all critical of the states he worships, and of power generally (except, of course, the power of enemies, which we must denounce, imitating the commissars who are his models, though he doesn't understand it).
Noam Chomsky
The Internet is an élite organization most of the population of the world has never even made a phone call.
Noam Chomsky
Democratic societies can't force people. Therefore they have to control what they think.
Noam Chomsky
Selfish-gene theory tells us nothing about the value of interacting through language.
Noam Chomsky
The structure of language determines not only thought, but reality itself.
Noam Chomsky
I wouldn't say that the efforts of academics to critique the media's messages are half-hearted. As far as I am aware, the efforts scarcely exist: very few even pay attention to the question.
