The nervous laughter from the crowd as they slowly realize he is describing their families...

"Uninformed consumers making irrational choices." Good stuff.

I spend my days working at an office, it's secure, it's comfortable, and it's easy. It also makes me miserable. And when it's the weekend and I don't "do something" I hate myself even more. I crave for a sense of accomplishment , a sense of meaning, and a sense of impact.

Noam Chomsky really does speak in lower-case.
-
"Want to be Independent, creative, do something significant, worthwhile, and with dignity"
-
Me: Ik what I want!! Chomsky: You fool, you fell for one of the most classic blunders
-
Lucky me; I grew up loving riding my bike up to the library. Books at the library opened up different worlds! Library's are wonderful.

Noam Chomsky is most intelligent American i know. We need more people like him in the world.
-
I want someone to love , something to do and something to look forward to .... basic human here
-
We should implement more Chomsky into our society, he really points out things that matter
-
"want to fix old cars in their garage in the weekends" >> that's me 100%. Having a hobby makes life so much more enjoyable.

It is so unbelievably impressive that I've consumed so much of this man's work but almost never hear him repeat himself. An inspiration
-
wow..guy's almost 90 yrs old and sharper than I'll ever be .. smh...great man

It's true people aren't just selfish. People want to have dignity and some kind of meaning
-
Noam always lets me know just how severely brainwashed I really am. It's sad.
-
Another reason I'm a fan of Noam Chomsky. He understands most people want to feel useful. They want to work, and feel the dignity that comes from providing for yourself. And people like that deserve to be paid enough to afford a decent lifestyle.

I feel awful that our creativity and potential has been intentionally targeted to fail. I have this mantra that I say everyday: I want not to need and need not to want. This is helping me find out who I am truly, without influence.
-
This was in my recommended. Inconceivable
-
I'm amazed that Wallace Shawn asked such an interesting philosophical question phrased in a relatable way. And even more impressed that Noam Chomsky STILL had an analysis to give back that was historically rich and even personable.

It's not natural. We've been addicted into this.
