So instead of summarizing it and putting it into the context of this discussion and how it might refute my point, you're just going to link to it as though to say "look Chompsky said something about this therefore I'm right"?

Im not "right" and Im not refuting your "point". This isnt reddit. This is HN on a Saturday; a single comment can result in a 20 min video from 1997 from some old man comparing the views of people that have been dead for hundreds of years.

Your comment was "Chomsky covers your exact comment quite thoroughly here." Is it really that far a reach for someone to see the attached video as a low effort stand-in for their argument given that comment?

If you just wanted to post a Chomsky interview video, I of course have no issue with that.
