Comments on: Who Is Noam Chomsky? http://dykstranet.com/2004/10/11/willful-and-dedicated-ignorance/ Tue, 06 Jan 2009 14:12:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Craig http://dykstranet.com/2004/10/11/willful-and-dedicated-ignorance/#comment-106 Fri, 15 Oct 2004 16:55:26 +0000 http://dykstranet.com/2004/10/11/willful-and-dedicated-ignorance/#comment-106 Noam is alive and quite well, something that would be denied to him, in whole or in part, in many other countries. I would like to know if he can offer examples of countries that meet his requirements, Switzerland, Tonga, Sweden? I hope his examples would include large, complex economies in countries that encourage virulent and continuous criticism of the government, a small unobtrusive government, a flourishing market-driven economy with no large companies in league with the government to dominate any industries, completely voluntary self regulation of business without expensive federal or state oversight, free medical coverage for everyone, no foreign military presence with an underlying business-driven goal, etc. etc. Nevertheless, hooray for a country that permits the idealogue, the critic with no solutions, the Noam Chomsky's, the Ralph Naders, to constantly peck at the heals of the guys in power. And that's where they can do the most good. Fear the day they themselves come to power.

I am not knocking the ideals toward which our forefathers would have had us strive, but when looks at our own sordid history as a nation, from the eradication of countless tribes of indigenous peoples on this continent to the systematic enslavement for a couple hundred years of millions of people from another continent, one can hard call our practice over the years noble. It is exactly because we are so powerful that we do not have to question our own motives or morals. Did the Nazi Germans not truly believe that they were a superior race of humans? Of course they did. Do we not think we are morally superior to the rest of the world today because we stand for such noble causes as freedom, individuality and the (unbridled) pursuit of happiness (material gain and pleasure)? Of course we do. The question is who else in the world can call us out on the carpet and finally make us look into the mirror we are all so dreading to have to stand in front of. In my opinion, this is all Noam Chomsky asks of us--to inform ourselves, to dig deeper into all the news that the mainstream media consciously chooses to ignore and ultimately to make up our own minds. I consider myself to have an extremely discerning and keen intellect (as I'm sure we all do) and rarely do I hear someone speak that I feel transcends the pettiness of right vs. wrong and party vs. party who really wants to look at all the facts of power and growth and hegemony, but Chomsky does and I cannot help but listen to such a cool and objective intellect. Never does he indulge in bashing or name-calling but always points to examples and encourages people to look into the matters for themselves. Yes, to really hear what he has to say means to have to throw your entire understanding of the world (or your country, at least) on its head and I, for one, am willing to head down that road to see where it leads. I would love to think that I will run into contradictions to what Chomsky offers time and time again but everything in me tells me I will not. I, like my cousin, will strive to keep an open mind and hopefully there will be much spirited debate to follow, even if only for the two of us ;) Thanks for taking a look, cuz, and let's keep reading and listening!
