Noam Chomsky is
amazing as usual! For his entire career this person has been on the payroll (for
65 years) of one of the main Academic institutions (MIT) that create this
dominant class and the ideological environment in which we live. Then he comes
on stage and makes, apparently, one of his many speeches against that same
system that nourishes and sponsors him! Isn’t that just one more sign of the
sophistic age we live in? Apart from the usual concatenation of interpretations
that he claims to be “facts” in this video he also spreads, once again, the
common ideology of the so-called “democracy” as being this amazing system, that
if “the people” would have been heard, we would not be in such and such
situation! Isn’t this one of the most vulgar forms of contemporary ideology? As
far as I can remember, “the people” voted to give hemlock to Socrates, to
crucify Jesus, and to elect and strongly support Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler
and many, many more (too many to be just coincidences). If we have the dominant
class that we have, it is exactly because the majority of people fully identify
with them! Senatores boni viri, senatus
autem mala bestia (translation: Senators
are good men, the Senate, on the other hand, is an evil beast).
One possible question
on the topic of “The Emerging World Order” (whatever this means apart from the reference
to his book “The emerging New World Order”, 2012) is: if universities, instead
of indoctrinating students with the most vulgar ideologies of our sad times,
spreading legitimized ignorance, and providing entry tickets to the system of
power, would instead offer real education, would we still be where we are now?
In this video, Chomsky even criticizes the same Mario Draghi who received a
degree from the same institution (MIT) where Chomsky has received a comfortable
income for his entire life! Are we so intellectually corrupted that we cannot
perceive this paradox anymore? The fact that people like Chomsky and his
fellows, can be taken seriously seems to me just one further proof of the
disaster into which our society is sinking.
The “Emerging World
Order”, to use Chomsky’s expression once again, is strongly supported by
contemporary academia and his ancillary role of corroboration of any form of
corruption in power. And this is one of the many reasons why contemporary
Academia has nowadays developed into the worst enemy that knowledge has ever
faced in human history. Not even Caligula or the Caliph Omar (the one who
allegedly ordered General Amr ibn al-As to destroy what remained of the Library
of Alexandria with the famous sentence, “If those books are in agreement with
the Quran, we have no need of them; and if they are opposed to the Quran,
destroy them!”) have been so dangerous to human knowledge as the contemporary
diploma mills that all over the globe are selling “darkness as light, and light
as darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter” (Isaiah 5:20). It
is mostly because of the role of Academia in the contemporary world that ideas
have almost no place in our society and opinions have the dominance in quite
every field (see the difference between ideas and opinions in Platonic
epistemology), basically turning intelligence into either deviousness or
stupidity. Dreadful for us are all the consequences of such a horrendous
confusion of darkness with knowledge.
