Tangentially related, but this reminds me of one of my favorite talks, [Propositions as Types](https://youtu.be/IOiZatlZtGU) which gets into the ideas of how computer science is related to logic and how the principles of computer science pop up in all sorts of disciplines.
I just started listening to the audiobook of [Manufacturing Consent](https://youtu.be/txBRml8k86M) last week, and I highly recommend it. it still holds up to this day.
“Chomsky did genocide denial” is such a meme political opinion. something that, regardless of the content of its truth (which i’m not denying), may just be thrown out there like a reaction image. but i get it, reckoning with a complex legacy is too much to ask for a reddit thread, i get it.
Noam Chomsky is kind of like Sigmund Freud. He had some revolutionary ideas, but also said a lot of crazy bullshit.
Edit: to everyone that downvoted me, Noam Chomsky denied the Bosnian genocide, Khmer Rouge’s killings and Sigmund Freud thought that everyone wanted to kill their dad and sleep with their mom and also did a lot of cocaine.
Yeah, it was wild when I saw his name in my compiler design class
“Noam Chomsky is a programming linguist”
“Wait, THAT Noam Chomsky?!”
Holy fuck did this man just do *everything??*
I had a signature called “automata theory” this semestre. I can relate
I put on a suit and tie just so I could upvote this.
Don’t forget about philosophy

Missing a hand for anarchists
Wow I didn’t know any of this about Chomsky. This sub never gets this spicy!
I need to study linguistics
Even if he’s a very controversial person, I can’t deny how great his work in linguistics and philosophy.
r/programmerhumor and r/linguisticshumor unite!

also valve games
I thought I was in an anarchist sun for a moment…. Very confused.
Gnome chompsky

Anarchists too.
The difference is that computers and languages are both supporting Ukraine, and Chomsky can fuck off.
Too bad Chomsky is a “protected-class” charlatan.
That guy gets around, academically he smashes
Also genocide denier.
Based
What about Larry Wall.
Are they arm wrestling, or is this foreplay?
I saw this and went to Gnome Chompsky from Trollhunters
Same for Left 4 Dead players
Gnome Chompski
And then there’s Trollhunters’ “Gnome Chomsky.”
You saw this and immediately thought of Gnome Chompsky from Left 4 Dead
Don’t lie to me
Isnt noam chomsky a gnome
He’s also a piece of shit that supports Russia’s invasion in Ukraine
Gödel would have been a better choice 🤷♂️
Oh so maybe that’s why the Gnome is named Chompski.
And also genocide denial
noam chomsky went to the highschool im enrolled in!
Reminder that he’s also a major-grade scumbag who denied the Khmer Rouge genocide and thinks Ukraine should have just surrendered to Russia.
He’s also an activist supporting freedom of persecuted peoples like Palestine.

If chomsky{
genocideDenial()

Lol Chomsky does Political Philosophy and Cognitive Science too. He unites everyone.
Except his work on linguistics was mostly euro-centric trash so..
Any recommenations on where to start if I want to get into some Chomsky? I’m familiar but uninitiated
