O, dear - I'm going to pop in and keep an eye on your comment sections, because you are most definitely going to have the woke comments from people who just love to knee jerk uninformed opinions and aren't really interested in learning something new, or challenging their belief systems.

People love outsourcing their thinking and opinions about subjecst to their favourite talking head, be it MSM or now the alt media talking heads, that you can see if you have done your due diligence on a subject, that many of these alt media celebrities these days, are actually just as bad as the MSM, if not worse.

"One of the saddest lessons in history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." - Carl Sagan

"If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we are up for grabs fro the next charlatan - political or religious - who comes ambling along" - Carl Sagan.

"For example, discuss why the COVID jab is bad news, and you’ll get many nodding in agreement. It starts to feel like we’re part of a real social movement for change, with “our side” flipping the bird and pushing back." Except for Noam Chomsky.

Yes, indeed: Chomsky is exactly the kind of controlled opposition he feigns to warn us about. He completely discredited himself with his brazen dismissal of both the JFK and 9/11 conspiracies.

You have to ask: who's he protecting?

But his quote is still very relevant.

Hi Jerm,

Yes, but it's somewhat diluted by the broader context of the man himself. I prefer those who actually walk the walk.

I prefer ideas. I like his quote.

Many others have said similar things.

The problem with Chomsky saying them is the fact he has such standing in the academic community. As a consequence, he's effectively leading a potentially very powerful and disruptive cohort of fellow academics up the garden path, which makes him especially pernicious, in my view.

Barrie Zwicker has covered this thoroughly, in Towers of Deception.

Moreover, anyone who attends to the mainstream narrative with a critical eye soon works out such things for themselves anyway.

What you're doing is wokeness. The quote is good and it is what I used. I don't care about anything else. Pretend he didn't say it, then, if it triggers you so much.
