Re: Chomsky - his evidence, models, and reasoning are compelling in many cases — manufacturing consent in democracies, interventions in the third world, morality and politics, to name a few.
Funny thing though, on a few topics, he resorts to rhetoric that is suspect. This seems uncharacteristic of him (very much against brand, one might say). It stands out like a throbbing thumb, if one maintains one’s critical faculties in the presence of the guru. That’s just the scenario that calls for increased awareness I suppose.
Ironically, his behavior in those instances may be pointing toward deeper truths. It’s like having a sensitive instrument that usually works well, but for some reason under specific circumstances that are identifiable but somewhat mystifying, it doesn’t. It’s still useful but calls for the application of additional tools. And perhaps some deep thinking about what the heck is going on.
Anomalies can be where the light shines through.
