William Buckley and Noam Chomsky: 1969

Unread post

This is a debate between William Buckley and Noam Chomsky back in 1969. It captures, in my opinion, the classic political conflict between conformity and dissent. It also works to expose the undrlying assumptions that drive people and nations to military action abroad: i.e., the fallacy of national disinterest and militarized philantrophy.


And, I see that this is not transferring correctly...ughh...I need a little assistance here. :roll:

I see the problem. You located the video on Google, not YouTube. I'll find the video on YouTube and post a link.

Also enlightening.



And they talk over one another less, which is nice.
If this rule were always observed; if no man allowed any pursuit whatsoever to interfere with the tranquility of his domestic affections, Greece had not been enslaved, Caesar would have spared his country, America would have been discovered more gradually, and the empires of Mexico and Peru had not been destroyed. -- Mary Shelley, "Frankenstein; or The Modern Prometheus"

Chomsky and Foucalt

Unread post

Great selection Mad. Norman Chomsky was worth the price of admission...and who would've thought being cunnginglingual was one element of a multilingual experience?

Here's another conversation between Chomsky and noted French Philosopher, Michel Foucalt from 1971. What is human nature and the proper social system to promote human freedom?
