Chomsky supports vaccine mandates and the interwebs freaks out - quotes him out of context, slanders him, makes Chomsky go viral at age 92

 Chomsky gave a recent interview where he supported vaccine mandates and so it went viral with all these reactionaries - just quoting parts of his talk and out of context and complaining about him. The hilarious thing is that if you listen to the whole interview he says how he gets slews of slander everyday in his email - from both the left and the right - and he just trashes it all. Hilarious. What I find fascinating is that Chomsky has been a free speech advocate his whole life and suddenly he goes viral because the interwebs has caused such a rise in reactionary negative emotional censorship. Chomsky still has his mojo at 92 years old!!

 Sure the U.S. is part of a Western trajectory of genocidal tyranny - from colonialism. The U.S. is not a country though but rather an Empire with over 800 military bases in over 120 OTHER countries - the U.S. military spending is about 40% of global military spending and U.S. military contractors supply much of the world's weapon supply as well. 

The U.S. military is truly the world's biggest corporate-state fascism - Chomsky has a good book on this called "Political Economy of Human Rights: Washington Connection and Third World Fascism" and for his more broad view approach read "Year 501: The Conquest Continues." Chomsky emphasizes that it is indigenous cultures that are the leading front against abrupt global warming - as indigenous cultures protect the last biological diversity on Earth. If you listen to the whole interview Chomsky says he regrets he didn't speak out more against abrupt global warming sooner. 

  thanks for asking: 

 “They absolutely do reduce transmission,” says Christopher Byron Brooke at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. “Vaccinated people do transmit the virus in some cases, but the data are super crystal-clear that the risk of transmission for a vaccinated individual is much, much lower than for an unvaccinated individual.” A recent study found that vaccinated people infected with the delta variant are 63 per cent less likely to infect people who are unvaccinated.

Effectiveness of full vaccination of the index against transmission to unvaccinated household contacts was 63% (95%CI 46-75%). We previously reported effectiveness of 73% (95%CI 65-79%) against transmission to unvaccinated household contacts for the Alpha variant.

"What is important to realise, de Gier says, is that the full effect of vaccines on reducing transmission is even higher than 63 per cent, because most vaccinated people don’t become infected in the first place."

yes Chomsky said in that interview how he is constantly slandered in emails he receives - from the left and the right - and he just trashes those emails. Hilarious. I actually have gotten a few responses from Chomsky since 2001. Chomsky is 92 years old but I search his name regularly since he does so many youtube interviews.

 I also think that his humility is something which actually matches his conviction -- looking at his contributions to science, there is much to be said about a man who continuously acknowledges the "limits of human understanding." In a characteristic display of subtle charisma, Chomsky once called himself (quoting an e-mail exchange of ours), "the culprit, the initiator of the modern heresy" of "new mysterianism," which is all about the reverence and respect for the things which will forever remain beyond our intellectual grasp. (see his lecture, The Machine, The Ghost, The Limits of Understanding)

 I was responding to the OP. I wrote a graduate paper in 1998 that relied on Noam Chomsky's analysis to predict the U.S. would invade Iraq again and that the sanctions and war were genocidal. I then hung a banner at the University bridge - stating, "stop u.s. genocide in iraq." Then the director of the U of Minnesota genocide center passed by me to tell me that it was not genocide in Iraq. I didn't know that Chomsky did not consider the war in former Yugoslavia to be genocidal.

The legal term as a point of contention should be taken from the Dulles brothers working with their uncle Robert Lansing, as noted in Professor Christopher Simpson's book, "The Splendid Blonde Beast" - to protect Germany from the use of slave labor of Armenians by Turks building a railroad to expand the German empire. So essentially international law was watered down enough to enable an international financial war machine investment - as Noam Chomsky points out this now threatens Earth as a whole as abrupt global warming. Chomsky says he wished he had spoken out sooner about abrupt global warming - which is called "Ecocide."

So was Chomsky wrong about Serbia? This video upload does a good job of proving Chomsky was wrong. Chomsky's critique has not been radical enough as he had tried to hold onto Western Liberal values as a libertarian believing in freedom and the common good.

Our global ecocide crisis is mainly due to the so-called "progress" of Western technology along with the various genocidal policies of the modern war machines. In fact we could argue this goes back to the development of the very phonetic based grammar and syntax language that Chomsky has relied on analyzing.

Archaeologists call this the "symbolic revolution" - and with the rise of written language was the rise of hierarchical city-states expanding through war and taxes - solidified by around 1200 BCE with iron weapons becoming dominant. So genocide unfortunately as a policy of war is not much different than a troop of male chimpanzees going on a raid into "enemy territory" to raype and kill.

Actually Chomsky now considers the "musilanguage" origins of human language to be not only a viable research direction but also a promising one. Western music is considered to be universal but Western music, as proven by math professor Luigi Borzacchini, is actually the basis for Western mathematics! Borzacchini calls this a "deep pre-established disharmony" between arithmetic and geometry as the secret "guiding evoltive principle" of science. So yes music is universal but Fields Medal math professor Alain Connes points out that in fact the truth of music theory is noncommutative phase logic or "quantum algebra." I pointed this out to Chomsky and he replied that it was unfortunate he didn't have time to research that topic on his own. 

So the "poverty of stimulus" as being only "one" - I think this is a simplification of the issue. All human cultures use the Octave, Perfect Fifth and Perfect Fourth but Alain Connes calls this (2, 3, infinity) due to the inherent noncommutative phase between the Perfect Fifth and Fourth within the same octave. Other animals being tested do not demonstrate the "relative pitch" cognition between octaves as a symmetric logarithmic value - the basis of the commutative geometry that is the norm for Western science. So when we learn Western music we are actually being cut off from our "musilanguage" origins - as Professor Chris Knight argues in his focus on our original human culture - the San Bushmen and Baka Twa culture of the rainforest.

So the issue here is that we can not separate our left brain dominance of human vocal communication from the development of written language. Borzacchini argues that the Greek Miracle of irrational magnitude math was based on the rise of phonetic language as a left-brain lateral crystallization, tied to right hand technology of course. Professor Michael Corballis successfully argues that indeed it was right hand dominant technology that forced early hominins to develop left brain dominant vocal communication. Dr. Erich Jarvis emphasizes a "convergent evolution" in song birds where, just as in humans, the vocal communication brain area is tied closely to the motor cortex. Chris Knight is in line with the music neuroscientist Dr. Daniel Levitin who emphasizes that the motor cortex and the cerebellum also control our emotions via music and singing.

 

So the older human language is the more musical the language is but what music actually "is" has eluded our modern Western definition of music that assumes already the geometry continuum of a symmetry from Plato's concept of "twoness" as a Platonic ideal realm of form through irrational magnitude numbers as the Greek Miracle.

 

So Chomsky has recently been collaborating a bit with Professor Emeritus Stuart Hameroff and Nobel Physicist Roger Penrose to tie the origins of human language to their consciousness model of reality that Hameroff emphasizes is better understood as a quantum "anharmonic" music - modeled by the "three gunas" of India or the yin-yang music of traditional Daoism - Dr. Victor Grauer's book traces the spread our of original human culture music around the world - in his "Sounding the Depths" book.

And so in line with Penrose and Hameroff then our music origins of human language are tied to how Western mathematics arose to define gravity as an inverse square law (Newton being directly inspired by the Platonic Archytas analysis of music whereby a squaring of the weight will double the frequency of a string).

 

So as Penrose argues it is a gravitational collapse of the nonlocal protoconsciousness of reality that "is" human consciousness as thinking but Penrose also now agrees this "collapse" relies on a noncommutative phase quantum algebra with mass originated from noncommutative time-frequency. de Broglie's critique of relativity as the "Law of Phase Harmony" also made this same insight.

So Penrose now points out that in fact the energy-information of gravity or entropy of gravity is the OPPOSITE of the entropy or energy-information of matter - such that our civilization by supposedly going against the entropy of matter has in fact increased the entropy of gravity on Earth (hence explaining our current global crisis of ecology and social justice).

 

So Chomsky by relying on Newton creating the modern crisis of the Void as an inherent mystery of the truth of reality via the "action at a distance" of gravity - and Newton quoting Lucretius on a type of antigravity as well - there is a deeper origin of cognition for the acquisition of human language. Chomsky essentially admits that if humans did not have "I-language" then perhaps we could acquire similar biological functions as other life. Indeed this is proven true - if you read Olivier Costa de Beauregard's book "Time: a physical magnitude" on relativistic quantum biology. That does corroborate the ancient focus of our original human culture on spiritual healing by intentionally using words of Gibberish while the females sing all night and the males dance.

 Mimesis as rhythmic Motherese

"we know that the relation between an infant and the mother are rhythmically connected. If you look at the utterances of the wimper or cry and a Mother - they have a rhythmic content - if one speeds up, the other slows down.... it's not just a coincidence that we have music and language."

Origins of Music and language - Herbert Terrace of Nim Chimpsky fame 

The way mothers and babies raise and lower their voices and simultaneously change their expressions and move their hands is similar in Asia and Europe, for example (in spite of linguistic differences such as tone languages versus non-tone languages).

 prenatal origin of music

Chuckrow uniquely proposed that meter and polymeter, perceived as combinations of approximately isochronous pulses with one pulse in the foreground, might derive from the combined sound of maternal and fetal heartbeats as perceived by the fetus. We evaluate these theories in the context of more recent approaches to the origin of music. A systematic consideration of prenatal influences can parsimoniously explain communicative, emotional and structural aspects of music. Music may be a by-product of adaptations such as prenatal hearing and motherese that promoted infant survival in ancient hunter-gatherer settings.

 

 Consciousness Central 2017 - Day 2 with guests Noam Chomsky and Hartmut Neven

 

 

Hi Dr. Chuckrow and Professor Parncutt: Thank you for your research on the Prenatal Origins of Music. You state in your article on the Prenatal Origins of Music that,

the fetus can perceive only a few, consistent with the importance of the “perfect” octave, fifth and fourth intervals in music (which occur between the first four harmonics).

So is this not a projection of Western logarithmic math onto music theory? Fields Medal math professor Alain Connes emphasizes the truth of music theory as a noncommutative phase that he calls (2, 3, infinity). So as I'm sure you're aware based on the overtone series there is no "Perfect Fourth" as an overtone to the root tonic while the definition of "harmonic" already assumes the concept of "irrational magnitude" of the symmetric geometric continuum. This concept was introduced by Philolaus flipping his lyre around so that the double octave could hide the changing of the root tonic from 0 to 8 for 4/3 as 6/8 as the 6 to 12 "octave" with the direction reversed for a logarithmic equation of the Perfect Fifth (12/8) plus the Perfect Fourth (8/6) = the Octave - as detailed by Professor Richard McKirahan's analysis published as "On Philolaus."

So math professor Luigi Borzacchini in his article on "incommensurability" and music theory gives more details. Essentially the Perfect Fifth as 2/3 is a C to F undertone while the Perfect Fifth as 3/2 is a C to G overtone as noncommutative phase pitch. So in traditional Chinese music tuning this creates a "yin" (Perfect Fourth) and yang (Perfect Fifth) infinite modulation leading to the "Yuan qi" as the "Single Perfect Yang." This concept is found in the "three gunas" of India also and is considered the basis of the "anharmonic" music of Stuart Hameroff and Roger Penrose's music model of consciousness (consider that Noam Chomsky has been participating in their research conferences).

Any comment and criticism would be appreciated.

Also please consider that Eddie Oshins, the physicist hired to work at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, realized the secret of Neigong as internal martial arts was from noncommutative quantum algebra logic - just as it is found in music theory was well.

All the best,

 I'm citing history about Newton and music theory as his origin for gravity. It's not a coincidence. See Newton and the 'Pipes of Pan' J. E. McGuire and P. M. Rattansi Notes and Records of the Royal Society of London Vol. 21, No. 2 (Dec., 1966), pp. 108-143 (36 pages) Published By: Royal Society

Just check out any Roger Penrose lecture for his argument that gravity originates from quantum frequency directly proportional to momentum. That's from the de Broglie-Einstein relation. It's also from noncommutative time-frequency energy of the de Broglie Law of Phase Harmony.

The issue is how is music defined - you are claiming gravity is an empirical measurement. 

 

Yes but general relativity is based on the measurement framework relative to the invariant speed of light. So since gravity is actually from frequency then the measurement is a byproduct of the "collapse" of the quantum wavefunction - as Roger Penrose explains - via protoconsciousness. 

 

So Western math is also derived from western music - just as gravity is a mathematical formula. So the ecological crisis on Earth is due to the wrong definition of gravity. Yes we "objectively" created lots of technology to measure gravity and science but over 50% of physics is for military research - as Chomsky emphasizes. His MIT colleague David F. Noble was more explicit - see his "America by Design" book or all his books on the history of science. Noble was fired from M.I.T. for political reasons as he proved in a lawsuit backed from the American Historical Association.

 @Fritz Feuer  What you wrote sounds pretty but an accusation without any evidence is a "false accusation." You can always try again though. I reread Chris Knight's critique of Chomsky - Knight's responses to Chomsky's responses to Knight's critique. It's a fascinating read but as Chomsky points out there are "false frameworks of debate" set up as the ultimate indoctrination. Knight's critique reveals a deeper dynamic going on that neither Chomsky nor Knight are aware of. Actually I did contact Noam Chomsky about this recently and he's open to my avenue of research. Chomsky now acknowledges that "musilanguage" is not just a probably origin of human language but a promising probability. I pointed out to Chomsky that in fact this musilanguage is based on noncommutative phase geometry or quantum algebra. He replied that he wished he had the time to research that avenue. He's 92 years old but he's already published over 100 books. What books of his have you actually read? Chomsky said in his recent interview that he rejects he didn't speak out against abrupt global warming sooner - making it a focus of his activism and Chomsky has repeatedly emphasized that nonwestern indigenous cultures are on the frontlines of defending that last biological diversity of ecological health on Earth. Most leftist activists are not willing to take that type of stand - so I think Noam Chomsky has had a very open mind indeed even now.
