1:50 Galileo 2:08 How is it possible to express an inffinite number of ideas with a couple of dozens sounds, which in itself have nothing in common with the thoughts in our minds and allow us to understand what is not present in consicousness? That's indeed an interesting question. But, doesn't he goes too far with 3:06 "everything we can conceive and the most diverse movements of our soul" Some experiences are auditory and visual; consider colours, one can tell a blind man everything there is to know about colours and yet when he would miraculously starts seeing for the first time his experience will be expanded.

Abralin is the closest for a semi-lay audience. For something more structured, there is Martin Hilpert's long-running series. There are also a myriad of professors who put great stuff up just as a kind of personal record and get next to no views (for obvious reasons); a random example is Nathan Hill (SOAS).

@atheoma

the mistery has been repeatedly articulated by noam in numerous interviews and lectures including this one. namely, the spoken/written language seemingly operates as a linear representation of symbols. on the other hand, reading or listening to a speech, we effectively ignore the linear sequence of words and decode the message as a complex structure which is not explicitly given. that means, we posses implicit ability to process any message tho this ability is totally separated from conciousness and unreachable by introspection. human kids demonstrate an exclusive ability to acquire language instinctly, long before they obtain enough linguistic data to learn the sintactic rules by statistic generalization of experience. the language is used almost exclusively for generating thought. humans, just as other animals, didn’t need language to communicate. being unable to generate complex recursive sintactic structures, big apes have still a profound system of communication with which they can communicate efficiently and sufficiently. the organs of speech were there long before the emergence of language so as in animals. try to scientifically explain all this with trivial statements like ‘language is social and historic and evolves rapidly in a social context and changing world’.

If you read Stephen Jay Gould's "Structure of Evolutionary Theory" his magnum opus, essentially [over 1,000 pgs] it is clear that the theory has gone through so many changes that it is hard to get a clear fix on what exactly it is. It also seems to have many logical holes -- which have been pointed out by, for ex., Prof. David Berlinski, and others. And, as Rupert Sheldrake has emphasized, genes don't account for many aspects of an organism -- especially as regards its form, shape. I think the theory has become a kind of secular dogma, substituting for religion, and questioning it to any degree or in any way prompts an intense and irrational hostility -- consider the venomous response given to Jerry Fodor's work, for instance -- you can see it here on yt, some people in that audience seemed like they wanted to run him out of town. I think it has become a fixed, entrenched, at times irrational, dogmatic, mental structure in some intellectual circles.
@kieronmcnulty6177
@kieronmcnulty6177 4 жыл бұрын
Of course its gone through changes as it's an aspect of science, science doesn't stay static. The theories of evolution have changed over time with new research, new evidence and new discoveries. Would you expect anything else? Darwin didn't know anything about genes and the modern synthesis versions of evolutionary theory have had to incorporate evo-devo approaches. The fundamentals are pretty rock solid though. I absolutely agree that evolution and genetics do not account for everything in biology. Chomsky makes that point repeatedly in his writings and lectures around this subject, I've seen that he sceptical about the many 'just-so' stories, particularly in evolutionary psychology. There's an interesting YT video in which he talks some of these these things - "Chomsky on Evolution", Stony Brook Interview #3 with Richard Larson" I think from about 2003 or so.
@brandgardner211
@brandgardner211 4 жыл бұрын
Trying to square linguistic theory with some supposed "theory of evolution" is a wrong turn. Just stick to language as it actually is, focus entirely on that. And forget about how it supposedly came about. Self-evidently it did. Even if you could show the "evolution", it still explains nothing in terms of actual human language as it actually is. It is a typical way of going off into irrelevance, with overly puffed up "theories" re the origin of traits, etc., posing as, in this case, essentially, philosophical anthropology. But it can never be that. Chomsky here is not heeding his own advice to not be distracted by psychologically compelling but essentially irrelevant happenstance, circumstance, accidental things, etc.
