I may not have agreed with every one of his positions in later life but Noam Chomsky was one of the defining people in opening my eyes to the world as it is versus how I’d taken it to be at face value (as someone who didn’t have to question it while growing up in a relatively privileged environment).Rest in peace, Noam. The world has lost a great mind and an even greater conscience today.https://jacobin.com/2024/06/noam-chomsky-obituary-media-theory-elites/#noamChomsky

@aral Same. Applies equally to John Pilger, who kinda lost the plot a bit towards the end there but had a massive influence on me.

@aral Jacobin is down, the new statesman seems to have removed the article, no other news outlets are reporting this currently. Are there other sources that report this?

@aral is this true? It doesn't seem clear. Jacobin have taken the article down, so have the new statesman...

@aral Wikipedia still says he's alive, although I believe there were reports that he's not able to communicate anymore?

@LALegault @mtrigo Looks like not. Several news sites have taken down their articles. And his wife apparently reported that he’s alive.

@samhainnight @joannejacobs @aral hoax?One of the first places I looked to confirm this was was Wikipedia, which didn't list a date of death. So I started having my doubts.But also his website was down, which in retrospect might have been due to the fact the claim was circulating regardless of truth.

@aral Holy shit Noam Chomsky died? I will admit he was sorta my first introduction to Anarchy and it's concepts. He was an well known philosopher.

@aral On FB, Arun Gupta is posting that he spoke with Valeria Chomsky (or someone in the family?) who said that he "is well."It would be great if he came out quoting Mark Twain...
