SAGES :
''' NOAM CHOMSKY'S NOTE '''
A SAGE OF OUR AGE : THE WORLD STUDENTS SOCIETY - the exclusive and eternal
ownership of every student in the world - rises to give a resounding -
standing ovation to Professor Noam Chomsky of M.I.T.
To call Professor Noam Chomsky a polymath would be an underestimate. He is
the father of modern linguistics and an authority on a whole range of
scientific disciplines.
But his fame over the past six decades has been largely due to his rigourous
act-based rational analysis of international relations and the state of the
world.
In particular, he has focused his talks and writings on the foreign policy
of the US as determined by its corporate capitalist priorities which are
asserted through the ' manufacture of consent ' at home and the use of
force, fraud, and sanctions abroad.
His writings on Vietnam, Latin America, the Middle East, the politics of the
US, the foreign policy during and after the cold war, the human made
challenges facing mankind, the ''vile maxims'' of corporate capitalism that
provide the foundation for US militarism and global hegemony at the expense
of global survival, etc was essential reading for anyone aspiring to be a
credible and useful citizen of a world in trouble.
The amount of time he spent in reading and answering emails from students
and ordinary people all over the world was a constant source of amazement to
his colleagues, given how busy a schedule of engagements, meetings, lectures
and travels abroad he maintained - not to mention the approximately 150 path
breaking books he authored and the countless seminal articles he
wrote.
It is no exaggeration to say that a minimal familiarity with the works of
Noam Chomsky, is a prerequisite for a proper understanding of the state of
our world today, the existential challenges it faces, the obligations of
public intellectuals who influence public opinions, and the attitudes and
approaches one might usefully adopt to address mitigate and hopefully
overcome these challenges.
At no time, despite the profundity of his analyses and vast command of
relevant facts, does Chomsky presume to have all the answers to the burning
questions of today.
He does not seek to convince or change anyone's views and opinions other
than to express his own which are based on his study and investigation of
the existing corpus of learning and literature in the subject he discusses.
He offers opinions in the hope they may be of some use to those committed to
addressing contemporary challenges facing humanity, which specialists and
scientists overwhelmingly agree threaten human civilization like never
before.
There is a moral urgency in the wisdom Chomsky communicates that might yet
be the saving of the world.
!WOW! HONOURS ALL : He follows in the footsteps of Western intellectual
sages and savants before him, Like Socrates, Aristotle, St Augustine, St
Aquinas, Descartes, Spinoza, Hume, Kant, Goethe, Karl Marx, Bertrand
Russell, Gramsci, and Albert Camus.
!WOW! HONOURS ALL : He has inspired a generation of younger public
intellectuals the world over such as Howard Zinn, Edward Said, Eqbal Ahmad,
Norman Finkelstein, Jeffrey Sachs, Richard Wolff, IIan Pappe, Arundhati Roy,
Yanis Varoufakis, Vijay Prashad and countless others.
Undoubtedly, they will carry forward the task of challenging and
intellectually combating the evils of arbitrary and corrupt governance that
threatens to make the 21st century the last for human civilisation as we
have known it for the past ten thousand years.
!WOW! HONOURS ALL : Esteemed Najam Sethi, Esteemed Hamid Mir, Esteemed
Karan Thapar, Esteemed Tucker Carlson, Esteemed Piers Morgan, Esteemed Mehdi
Hassan, Esteemed Fareed Zakaria, Esteemed George Galloway, Esteemed Rabo,
Esteemed Hussain, and Esteemed Haleema.
Unfortunately, the 21st century has apparently got off to the very worst
start possible, which makes the task of this generation of public
intellectuals so much more challenging and indispensable.
Chomsky's views on the responsibilities of the intellectual have,
accordingly become more urgent than ever, given the survival stakes involved
and the emergence of so many fake and pro establishment intellectuals who
infest the global and national media on behalf of entrenched interests that
refuse to prioritise the survival of mankind.
The Honour and Serving of the Latest Global Operational Research on Sages
and Times, continues. The World Students Society thanks most respectfully
Ashraf Jehangir Qazi, Pakistan's former Ambassador to the US, India, China
and head of the UN missions in Iraq and Sudan.
With most respectful dedication to the Leaders, Students, Professors and
Teachers of the world. See You all prepare for great ''Democratic
Constitutional Convention'' on !WOW! : wssciw.blogspot.com and Twitter X !E-WOW! - The Ecosystem 2011 :
