The Singularity is Science Fiction! Noam Chomsky

Nikola Danaylov: During our 28 minute conversation with Noam Chomsky we cover a variety of interesting topics such as: the balance between his academic and his political life; artificial intelligence and reverse engineering the human brain; why in his view both Deep Blue and Watson are little more than PR; the slow but substantial progress of our civilization; the technological singularity...

Dr. Noam Chomsky is a famed linguist, political activist, prolific author and recognized public speaker, who has spent the last 60 years living a double life -- one as a political activist and another as a linguist. His activism allegedly made him the US government's public enemy number one. As a linguist he is often credited for dethroning behaviorism and becoming the "father of modern linguistics" (and/or cognitive science). Put together his accomplishments are the reasons why he is often listed as one of the most important intellectuals of the 20th century. And so I was very much looking forward to interviewing him on Singularity 1 on 1.

Unfortunately our time together was delayed, then rushed and a bit shorter than anticipated. So I was pretty nervous throughout and messed up some of my questions and timing. Never-the-less, I believe that we still had a worthy conversation with Dr. Chomsky and I appreciate the generous though limited time that he was able to grant me.

Angelo: As it is given as an example, regarding women as property, also if a woman committed a crime in the presence of her husband (owner), he would suffer the punishment. Along with the mistakenly perceived upper hand went extraordinary responsibilities for men. Some still persist today, last to leave and survive a sinking ship, sent to wars by the real owners (that continue to rule us now with incomprehensible laws and lame stream media ownership). A little balance that is invariably lacking in current discourse, as gender has been brought up.
