Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I have posted the youtube link because i prefer the interface (with playback speed control) but the original appears to have been posted on vimeo here: https://vimeo.com/65476742
This lecture is a bit old, but as far as I can tell has not been posted in this sub before. While Chomsky is posted often here, this seems a slightly (though not entirely) novel topic (or at least angle). He starts out by referencing Alan Turing and a little-discussed caveat Turing included in his paper on the famous Turing Test for artificial intelligence, for example.
Recommend watching the vimeo link as it is a bit higher fidelity and Noam is getting on in years, and it is a bit hard to hear what he is saying.
A fascinating lecture on the nature of language and how human language does (and does not) apply to animals. Rather than a positive message, the lecture is a critique on how humans turn "irrational" when we attempt to examine core features of ourselves.
As usual, whenever I listen to Chomsky I'm left afterwards thinking about the world a from a different angle, which makes me unreasonably happy. :)
