Yes, exactly.

This is, I think, a serious pathology and a serious flaw -- though, for Chomsky, it's the mood he wants you to be in.. since he has a bridge to sell you.
A real political science here has to explicitly engage with this chaos -- has to model society as the irreducibly complex system that it is. Theories here arent neutral: they modify the very thing being described.
- standardly 3y agoHonest question. Have you read Manufacturing Consent?
- mjburgess 3y agoYes, but at 18 or 19.
- standardly 3y agoOk. That still counts. I disagree, but if you in fact read his work then you are totally entitled to that opinion. I was prepared to call you out for having not read it, though.
