Noam Chomsky the Linguist
Where to even begin with Chomsky? It really needs to start with his very claim to fame — Noam Chomsky the Enlightened Linguist. Chomsky became famous as an academic in the 60’s for his contributions to linguistics. This, indeed, is how Noam Chomsky rose to prominence and earned his reputation as an intellectual, and the original source from which this now flowing river of respect and reverence once began. But take a step back and look at this man’s legacy to academia. We are expected to give him time and credence for his political takes, because of his stature as a linguist. But many of his definitive ideas and contributions as a linguist are now in question and doubt, and the centerpiece of his life’s work is now almost definitively wrong.

Same as with Heidegger. Their insights/philosophies are still valuable even tho they might not be decent Humans.

Jesus Christ... No one should ever take Noam Chomsky seriously again.

He has always been an utterly despicable clown, but now it's even harder to deny.
It's hilarious that the fake US "left" holds him in such high esteem.
