With so much political baggage attached to labels like communism, socialism and Marxism, we look at the terminology, and how much the distinctions matter. On Today's Show:Carlo Invernizzi-Accetti, professor of political science and executive director of the Moynihan Center at The City College of New York, and author of 20 Years of Rage: How Resentment Took the Place of Politics (Mondadori, 2024), explains the core principles of the various strains of thought on the left.

We're joined by Leif Weatherby, associate professor at NYU, founding director of the Digital Theory Lab, and author of the new Language Machines: Cultural AI and the End of Remainder Humanism, to think with us about AI, structure, and what happens when computation meets language on their own shared turf. Language Machines is easily the best book about AI written this year and is just a killer antidote to so much dreary doomer consensus, it really feels like one of the first truly constructive pieces of writing we've seen out of academia on this subject. This episode follows really well after two others — our talk with Catherine Malabou earlier this summer and the episode with M. Beatrice Fazi about a year ago (both faves). It feels like theory is opening back up again into simultaneously speculative and structural returns, powered in no small part by the challenges posed to conventional theories of language (from Derrida to Chomsky) by Large Language Models. This episode absolutely rips, literally required listening. Structuralism is so back (and we're here for it). Some important references among many from the episode:Roman Jakobson, “Linguistics and Poetics.”N.

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Arnau Sebé-Pedrós from the Center for Genomic Regulation in Barcelona about his work on chromatin evolution. The Interview starts by examining specific research findings, including his seminal 2018 paper demonstrating whole-organism single-cell transcriptomics to map larval and adult cell types in the model organism Nematostella vectensis. Dr. Sebe-Pedros recounted the challenges and triumphs faced when delving into single-cell studies of non-model organisms, revealing the innovative strategies employed in the lab to overcome these hurdles. Shifting gears, we touched upon his work comparing cell types and molecular pathways in reef-building corals through single-cell RNA sequencing, contributing to our understanding of evolutionary conservation and divergence within the cnidarian lineage. We discussed how this comparative approach not only adds to knowledge about coral biology but also enhances methodological frameworks in ecological studies. In addition, Dr. Sebe-Pedros shared insights into ongoing efforts to reconstruct eukaryotic chromatin evolution using comparative proteomics and genomics analysis, as well as the mechanisms of genomic regulation in various species. His reflections on the sharing of experimental insights across research groups illustrated the collaborative spirit prevalent in the scientific community, particularly regarding endeavors like the Biodiversity Cell Atlas consortium aimed at expanding single-cell efforts across the tree of life. The episode culminated with Dr. Sebe-Pedros's thoughts on the revolutionary impact of functional genomic technologies and the vast potential they hold for answering longstanding questions in evolutionary biology. With an emphasis on epigenetics, he defined this field as encompassing any information not encoded directly in the DNA, especially in its role in establishing cell identity and differentiation.

The Wall Street Journal's release of Jeffrey Epstein's private calendar revealed that, even after his 2008 conviction as a sex offender, he maintained access to prominent figures in politics, finance, and academia. The calendar included scheduled meetings with individuals such as CIA Director William Burns, renowned academic Noam Chomsky, Goldman Sachs lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler, Bard College President Leon Botstein, and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. These entries demonstrated that Epstein, despite his notoriety, was still actively engaging with power players, securing sit-downs that suggested his influence and connections remained intact well after his fall from grace.Responses to the revelations highlighted both defensiveness and distancing. Chomsky confirmed some interactions but dismissed the significance, telling reporters that who he met “is none of your business.” Burns's camp insisted his meeting with Epstein was merely a brief introduction arranged during his transition out of government and that he had no relationship with him. The broader disclosure underscored the depth of Epstein's reach and the discomfort it continues to cause for those whose names surfaced on his calendar years after his crimes were well known.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein Documents, Part 2: Dinners with Lawrence Summers and Movie Screenings With Woody Allen (msn.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Episode 350 of RevolutionZ conducts an experiment with ChatGPT to reveal profound insights about both political theory and artificial intelligence.ChatGPT, please respond to this critique of the Marxist tradition's current relevance first as a Marxist would, then without that constraint. When operating as a Marxist, the AI eloquently employs classic rhetorical strategies to defend the tradition while missing or misrepresenting the actual criticisms. It speaks of "dialectical augmentation" and accuses the criticisms of "flattening contradiction." It ignores the tradition's blindness to the coordinator class.Freed from replying as a Marxist, however, the same AI accurately summarizes the arguments and acknowledges the validity of claims of economism, inadequate class analysis, and organizational hierarchies. You decide: Does this shift demonstrate the critique's claim that immersion in the Marxist tradition, while offering valuable insights, imposes conceptual limitations that blind adherents to crucial aspects of social reality?The episode then ventures into issues of artificial intelligence itself to explore questions of consciousness, language generation, and the nature of understanding. Albert and ChatGPT each address the concern that AI systems, by becoming increasingly capable conversational partners, as but one example, risk displacing human-to-human dialogue and intellectual companionship. Interested in revolutionary theory, artificial intelligence, or the philosophy of mind? In how theoretical frameworks shape what we can—and cannot—see? Episode 350 of RevolutionZ addresses not only Marxism's current relevance or lack thereof, but also the trajectory of human intellectual engagement in an age of increasingly sophisticated AI.Support the show

Episode 349 of RevolutionZ displays what happened when I asked artificial intelligence to critique my critique of artificial intelligence. In this episode, I share the results of this peculiar experiment—feeding my recent articles about AI dangers directly to ChatGPT and asking for its reaction. What in its view did I get right. What did I get wrong. And I comment, as well. I also ask it about how it operates. How does it answer questions, write a song, and so on. It was very forthcoming and clear. I also asked it its reaction to Noam Chomsky's critical writings about AI. Again, very forthcoming agreeing with most, which it accurately conveyed, but questioning some, also accurately conveyed.. ChatGPT's analysis of my article was nuanced, including emphasize and surprisingly agreeing with my core concern about "infantilization"—that is, that humans might lose distinctively human activities by becoming passive and dependent on AI systems. The "conversation" that followed accessibly clarified creative processes, neural networks, and philosophical perspectives on machine intelligence.I also asked it to compose a Dylan-esque protest song about the pharmaceutical industry in seconds, which it did, and then methodically explain how it generated such content through pattern recognition rather than genuine understanding, using the first line as focus. This window into AI's functioning—explaining that it doesn't "research" or "look up" information or know anything in our sense, but rather has its trained encoded relationships across neural networks to consult—provides crucial context for understanding both its impressive capabilities and certain fundamental current limitations.Chomsky in the title isn't clickbait. The conversation explores his critiques of AI, with ChatGPT offering balanced and well informed analysis of what Chomsky says and where he got things right but also where his perspective might be limited and why he might have erred in some respects. The discussion even ventures into territory of scientific bias and how brilliant minds can resist evidence that challenges their philosophical frameworks or practical aims.This experiment only increased my concerns about AI's potential dangers—in many ways, experiencing its capabilities firsthand was more disturbing than theoretical discussions I was previously aware of. Will we approach AI development with caution, ethical frameworks, and democratic oversight to ensure these powerful tools serve humanity rather than diminish it? Or will we get sucked in by potential benefits, ease of use, etc.?Support the show

We interview Professor Christopher Summerfield from Oxford University about his new book "These Strange New Minds: How AI Learned to Talk and What It". AI learned to understand the world just by reading text - something scientists thought was impossible. You don't need to see a cat to know what one is; you can learn everything from words alone. This is "the most astonishing scientific discovery of the 21st century."People are split: some refuse to call what AI does "thinking" even when it outperforms humans, while others believe if it acts intelligent, it is intelligent. Summerfield takes the middle ground - AI does something genuinely like human reasoning, but that doesn't make it human.Sponsor messages:========Google Gemini: Google Gemini features Veo3, a state-of-the-art AI video generation model in the Gemini app. Sign up at https://gemini.google.comTufa AI Labs are hiring for ML Engineers and a Chief Scientist in Zurich/SF.

Read the book here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/.../9780593914113/... The Myth of American Idealism offers a timely and comprehensive introduction to the incisive critiques of U.S. power that have made Noam Chomsky a “global phenomenon,” one of the most widely known public intellectuals of all time. Surveying the history of U.S. military and economic activity around the world, Chomsky and his co-author Nathan J. Robinson vividly trace the way the American pursuit of global domination has wrought havoc in country after country – without, ironically, making Americans any safer. And they explore how dominant elites in the United States have pushed self-serving myths about this country's commitment to “spreading democracy,” while pursuing a reckless foreign policy that served the interest of few and endangered all too many.

Noam Chomsky, widely celebrated as one of the greatest intellectual figures of our time, brings his sharp analytical mind and decades of political activism to this conversation. Vijay Prashad, director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research and chief correspondent for Globetrotter, adds his deep historical expertise and critical insights into global politics. Don't miss this extraordinary dialogue, unpacking profound geopolitical questions with two influential thinkers who have shaped how we understand power and resistance in our world today. ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio https://revleftradio.com/
In this episode of the Buying Online Businesses podcast, host Jaryd Krause speaks with Rafal Chomsky, a performance marketing expert known for helping brands double their revenue, without increasing ad spend. Rafal brings a wealth of experience in Meta Ads, Google Ads, SEO, and team-led digital strategies that have generated millions in client revenue.

In this episode, I analyze the debate between Michel Foucault and Noam Chomsky on human nature, expressing frustrations about their unclear definitions. I discuss Foucault's controversial life and its irony alongside his philosophical influence, while connecting his ideas on power to contemporary ethical dilemmas and societal scrutiny. Engaging with callers, we explore the effects of upbringing on self-worth and the importance of confronting our pasts. I emphasize self-assertiveness and the need to reflect critically on the narratives that shape our lives, encouraging listeners to align their choices with personal values and societal realities.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
The spectre of the EnlightenmentWhat the Enlightenment a net positive or a net negative? Or is that the wrong question, and should we look at it simply as a historical period?Join Professor of History Aviva Chomsky as she dissects one of the most important periods in modern history from the lens of a critical historian. The Enlightenment was not just a period that produced thoughts and ideas - it was an excuse and a reordering of world hierarchies. Do you agree with her conclusions?

Noam Chomsky calls the Israel, U.S., and Palestine relationship a “Fateful Triangle.” He says,“ In no other region of the world are the problems so likely to lead to devastating regional conflict.” He adds, those problems “have only been aggravated by the irrationality and intolerance that has dominated discussion in the U.S. It will be unfortunate if this state of affairs persists,” he warns. Alas, Chomsky wrote those words more than 50 years ago. The U.S. has given Israel hundreds of billions in aid over the years. In addition, Washington provides crucial diplomatic, political and military support. Internationally, because of Gaza both the U.S. and Israel are increasingly isolated. General Moshe Yallon, former Israeli chief of staff and defense minister, says Israel is committing war crimes and ethnic cleansing. Interview by David Barsamian. Recorded at the Boulder Public Library.

This lecture examines the influential debate between philosophers Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault, focusing on themes of human nature, justice, and power. It begins with Chomsky's argument for an innate biological basis for language acquisition, exploring how humans develop complex linguistic abilities despite limited input. In contrast, Foucault challenges the very concept of human nature, questioning its definitional clarity and arguing that it serves more as a reflection of evolving knowledge than a concrete scientific truth. The discussion oscillates between their contrasting views, dissecting the relationship between language, knowledge, and cognition while critiquing the disconnect between philosophical inquiry and its relevance to society. Ultimately, the lecture calls for clearer definitions in philosophical discussions and emphasizes the responsibility of intellectuals to address the practical needs of the public they serve.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Nathan J. Robinson, editor-in-chief of Current Affairs, to discuss his recent book The Myth of American Idealism: How U.S. Foreign Policy Endangers the World, co-authored with Noam Chomsky. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Mike Johnson's successful speakership vote, Pete Hegseth's nomination to Secretary of Defence, Biden's Offshore drilling order, NYC's congestion pricing, the Social Security Fairness Act, CFPB action, Biden's arms sales to Israel, the Washington Post's turmoil, and Musk's promise to brighten Twitter's algorithm heading into a second Trump presidency, before diving a little deeper into Rep. Johnson leadership in Congress. Nathan J. Robinson then joins, diving right into Chomsky's assessment of the rhetoric and justifications around US Foreign Policy among the political and media classes, which tend to lie on the spectrum of “the US is never wrong” to the idea of “noble mistake theory” which constantly seeks to justify US misdeeds behind supposedly moral causes, bringing Robinson to the meat of the discussion: the idea of Chomsky's “Mafia Doctrine” which posits that the exclusive internal consideration behind US Foreign Policy is the maintenance and expansion of US hegemony. Stepping back, Robinson walks through various examples from the post-WWII era of US hegemony, from their indifference to Kuwait's independence to their insistence on sticking in long-term losing wars (Vietnam, Iraq) to avoid losing face, with a particular dive into the diplomatic malpractice that led us into the Gulf War. After expanding on the concept of “US Interests” and the deep divide between the various interests that make up the US, Nathan, Sam, and Emma unpack the US' refusal to attempt any semblance of self-analysis, refusing to acknowledge how their maneuvers on the global stage put their “adversaries” in a precarious position while insisting on interpreting every move said adversaries take in response as directly offensive, before wrapping up the show with a discussion on the importance of engaged anti-war and anti-imperialist movements on the domestic level to achieve any semblance of pushback to this way of thinking. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma listen to Lindsay Graham's plea to rush Trump's cabinet confirmations, Tulsi Gabbard shows off her ability to praise cult leaders, and an UNRWA Officer gives her detailed account on the ongoing devastation facing Gaza in 2025. Relatedly, Blinken gives a vociferous defense of Israel, and an Israeli settler gives a vociferous defense of treating Palestinians as animals. The MR Crew also checks in on the DNC-sanctioned “influencer” class, Varat from Chicago checks in on Tim Pool's emotional stability, and Pat from New Jersey Checks in on Congestion pricing.

On the occasion of Noam Chomsky's 96th birthday on December 7, we are honored to broadcast for the first time this classic recording of a talk he gave in Albuquerque in the year 2000. Many of the issues he addressed then remain salient today. Chomsky says that the right of sovereignty is fundamental to the task of taking control of our lives. He describes what citizens are up against as “an array of mega-corporations often linked to one another.”
Noam Chomsky once said, “Nobody is going to pour truth into your brain. It's something you have to find out for yourself.” As I reflect on some of the turmoil in higher education—and society in general—it occurs to me that Chomsky's counsel is falling on deaf ears. Increasingly, the public is relying on the media as a proxy for direct access to information and the truth. This has resulted in the epidemic of misinformation and disinformation that is infecting and influencing the higher education ecosystem. In this episode I'll assess the necessity of maintaining skepticism and critical thinking as we consume information filtered through the media and poured into our brains.

Noam Chomsky needs no introduction. He's a celebrated linguist, who has long denounced U.S. empire at home and abroad. And he has a long relationship with Latin America.Chomsky's 1985 book, Turning the Tide: U.S. Intervention in Central America and the Struggle for Peace, was formative for many academics and activists analyzing the U.S. role in the region.In 2012, NACLA awarded him the Latin America Peace and Justice Award for his ongoing commitment to social justice in the Americas.Chomsky's wife, Valeria Wasserman, is from Brazil. That's where he is now. Chomsky suffered a stroke last year and was recently in a hospital in São Paulo, though he has since been released. You can think of this as our small tribute to the great Noam Chomsky. In this second bonus episode of Under the Shadow, host Michael Fox takes us to a October 26, 1983 lecture by Noam Chomsky, at the University of Colorado, on the impact of U.S. military intervention in Central America. It's fascinating to look into what we knew then, even as the events were still unfolding, and hear the historical context from someone like Chomsky.Under the Shadow is an investigative narrative podcast series that walks back in time, telling the story of the past by visiting momentous places in the present.In each episode, host Michael Fox takes us to a location where something historic happened—a landmark of revolutionary struggle or foreign intervention. Today, it might look like a random street corner, a church, a mall, a monument, or a museum. But every place he takes us was once the site of history-making events that shook countries, impacted lives, and left deep marks on the world. Hosted by Latin America-based journalist Michael Fox. This podcast is produced in partnership between The Real News Network and NACLA.
