    I chose linguistics as my example of autodidactical solipsistic bullshit because of experience with the type.

    EDIT: Disclaimer: I'm didn't intend to knock Chomsky's linguistics expertise; I had used an emoji about him because I mentioned linguistics, but now I see how that can be taken as saying he wasn't qualified as a linguist, which wasn't my intention so I removed the emoji. That said, he can be criticized for other reasons epstein

      that's not quite fair whatever you think about Chomsky politically his work on linguistics is impressive.

      Richard Dawkins is a knob but he still does know about biology

        I wasn't actually intending to knock Chomsky in that way there, only posting the emoji because "linguistics" reference and associations because hehe emoji.

        That said, his "none of your damn business" response to epstein questions was very sus.
