    My favourite Chomsky-ism is Vaush emailed him and Chomsky, who replies to everyone including me for fucks sake and people asking him about sonic the hedgehog, didn’t reply to Vaush.

    I had a legit reason to email Chomsky, it was about linguistics and clarifying something he'd said in an article that I wasn't sure about. He was very helpful.

    Edit - clarified why I emailed him because I just abruptly stated I had a good reason to do so without explaining.

      More likely: he dunked on V*ush so hard he refused to admit it. That would be super embarrassing, getting dunked on by Chomsky

        That actually makes a lot of sense, he emailed him to back up some stupid braindead point he was making and Chomsky tore it apart so badly he just decided to say he never replied.

          I imagine he's probably gotten plenty of letters from bosh stans and stosh haters asking whether or not the dude has a shit/notshit take on whatever flavor of dumb phrasemongering is in every week. and doubtlessly some of the dweebs included video links or transcripts. Probably gets asked to either get interviewed by or debate with him too.

          I'm willing to bet he knows more than he's willing to let out, knowing he'd be entering a morass if he even hints he knows about vaush.
