    The actual answer and reason why he’s an intellectual giant in the west is he made a significant contribution to the field of linguistics. I even studied him briefly in college because the Chomsky hierarchy is useful for understanding programming language theory and development, and notably Chomsky was not a computer scientist. It’s rare to have cross-discipline reach.

      Oh, I don’t disagree with that, I’m more peeved at all the Western leftists that continue to uphold someone who has always held a complete and utter distain towards AES in the same vein Slavoj Zizek does.
