One Response to “Noam Chomsky and the Innate Humanity in the Human Brain”

   I agree totally with everything in this Chomsky posting. Noam Chomsky is one of the most important people in the history of all mankind. His own genetic endowments are vast and superior to most people. He is uniquely able to remember and apply and speak about all that he has learned and generate original arguments that stand the test of time. After all those years of dissecting human language and getting down to the nitty gritty of what all languages have in common - giving answers that have been used in the structure of computer languages - he always snapped back to moral humanism. Something about Chomsky’s profound understanding of just how truly remarkable every human brain is - made him humble in the face of it. That’s where his moral humanism flows from. Killing people is so terribly wrong, if for nothing else because of the marvelous endowments we all have - how precious we all are. And he’s right. Vulgarities including nationalism, religiosity, greed, coercion: these are ugly aspects that would marginalize the overwhelming beauty that is humanity. You cannot go wrong studying Chomsky. Take my word for it. Stuart Alan Becker Reply | Quote selected text | Link to this
