Chu talkin' about Willis? e: Russian made planes, not necessarily the Russians, because poo poo is such a quagmire that no one really knows what the hell is happening anymore haha.

Falun Bong Refugee posted:they found compelling evidence noam chompsky has been a linguistic chump for his entire career. Thanks for mentioning this because I've always thought Chomsky was a bit of a windbag going 'Oh I know linguistics this means I am qualified to speak about anything!' and learning that he is actually just an idiot is great. Seems Zizek was spot on in saying "I don't know a guy who is so often empirically wrong." quote:Noam Chomsky’s proposal [is] that all humans are born with a sentence structure blueprint programmed in their brains, invariant across the species, and that each language is but a variation upon this "universal grammar" generated by an as-yet unidentified "language organ." In other words, we are born already knowing language. Yeah that's just moronic and I know nothing about linguistics.
