I didn't know about Chomsky's support; do you have any reference?
- ravenousgeek 3y agoI have heard Chomsky mention it on many occasions, one example here in an interview with Andrew Marr. https://youtu.be/GjENnyQupow?t=490 https://youtu.be/GjENnyQupow?t=490
- dang 3y agoIt would be interesting to find where he first wrote or talked about it. I'm pretty sure it goes back even a lot further than that.
- TaylorAlexander 3y agoI googled “Chomsky Orwell preface” and found this: https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/noam-chomsky-90th-birthday/ https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/noam-chomsky-90th-... (Search the text of the article for the word preface to directly find the reference).
- pie_flavor 3y agoYou can actually highlight whatever you want to jump to, right click, and click 'Copy link to highlight': https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/noam-chomsky-90th-birthday/#:~:text=Chomsky%20recalled%20a%20preface%20that%20George%20Orwell%20wrote%20for%20Animal%20Farm%2C%20which%20was%20not%20included%20in%20the%20original%20editions%20of%20the%20book https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/noam-chomsky-90th-.... edit: Unless you link to The Nation, I guess, which bungles the scroll for no reason if you're instantly focusing the page (i.e. not middle clicking).
- TaylorAlexander 3y agoAh good tip thanks! Seems I can do that on iPhone too. At least there is a “share” option for highlighted text and I assume that’s what it’s for.
