On Criticism. Read the history of “Pilpul” > Scriptural Interpretation > Medieval > Rousseau’s ‘nonsense’ > Kantian Rationalism (Pseudo-reason) > Marxist pseudoscience > Pseudoscientific Socialism > Cantorian Pseudo mathematics > Pseudo mathematical Keyenesian probabilism > Bolshevik Propaganda > and the French outright fictionalism (Lying) that we call Postmodernism that dominates the western university system.
And while Chomsky correctly chastizes the postmodernists, he is unable to look in the mirror and grasp that man was domesticated like all other animals and we can see that in not only genes, but in physical morphology. The fact is that west and east succeeded by isolation, and climate and the punishing eugenics of summer agrarian cycles – and those that did not did not succeed.
CRITICISM = GOSSIP = EXCUSE MAKING = CONSENSUS BY OVERLOADING. Period. End. Of. Argument.
The reason Chomsky could not finish generative grammar, and the reasons that his ancestors contributed nothing to civilziation for thousands of years EXCEPT pilpul, supernatural fictionals, rational fictionalism, and scientific fictionalism, is that further investigation would falsify their theory of man. Many people cannot face the truth because that truth is contrary to our personal, familial, class, tribal, national, and civilizational group evolutionary strategies.
Truth is not kind.
ANd if you find it. Western Science is standing there looking back at you. Unkindly.
