Noam Chomskys quotes: I dont want followers. You cannot control your own population by force, but it can be distracted by consumption. Concentration of executive power, unless its very temporary and for specific circumstances, lets say fighting world war two, its an assault on democracy. If you are giving a graduate course you dont try to impress the students with oratory, you try to challenge them, get them to question you. If youre teaching today what you were teaching five years ago, either the field is dead or you are. “We shouldnt be looking for heroes, we should be looking for good ideas.” “If we dont believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we dont believe in it at all.” “For the powerful, crimes are those that others commit.” “...the Bible is probably the most genocidal book in the literary canon.” “Propaganda is to a democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state.” “Science is a bit like the joke about the drunk who is looking under a lamppost for a key that he has lost on the other side of the street, because thats where the light is. It has no other choice.”
