Chomsky is said to have some high IQ reflected in his work in linguistics,

Chomsky has done lots damage to linguistics. The basic problem is that his generative grammar throws away meaning. Like any other word or sentence structure, grammar has a range of categories that impart meaning. Grammar is not a meaningless transformation like Chomsky alleges.

Very nice shredding of this original tissue of BS that made Chomsky famous.

I would add my critique in a little different light: He is another desperate atheist trying to find meaning in a world where he is willfully blind to true meaning.

Ironically, he admires Bertrand Russell (another atheist/leftist) who FAILED so dramatically to even be able to reduce mathematics to a set of first principles, as demonstrated in Godel’s Incompleteness Theorem.

But these educated idiots stick with their materialistic ignorance at all costs.
