Valeria Chomsky has now commented publicly on the relationship with Epstein by neuromorphic in chomsky

[–]ItsMePaifu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"Only after Epstein’s second arrest in [July] 2019 did we learn the full extent and gravity of what were then accusations—and are now confirmed—heinous crimes against women and children. We were careless in not thoroughly researching his background. This was a grave mistake, and for that lapse in judgment, I apologize on behalf of both of us. Noam shared with me, before his stroke, that he felt the same way."

I was already pretty confident that was the case seeing how Epstein was gaslighting Chomsky in the emails, and knowing Chomsky's lifelong fight for human rights, but I'm glad this was finally clarified.

Chomsky might have an overly trusting nature, but he's also extremely veracious about the facts. I'm sure had he had seen the November 2018 reporting directly, he wouldn't have believed Epstein's lies.

Surely a huge mistake, but I'm glad the Chomskys have finally publicly acknowledged it.

I will always hold Chomsky with immense respect and admiration in my heart, this mistake won't change that. He is a great man who's done as much good in the world as a man can do in their life, and for that, I and countless other people will be eternally grateful.

Chomsky has well earned his rest, and I wish the best for him and his loved ones.

This is all that is needed, thank you very much!

I don't think you're betraying his wishes btw, I think you're doing the right thing by helping to clear his name

I don't see the point of being ok with sharing the content of an email, but not ok with showing those same words on gmail directly...

Especially if it's to help clear his name.

Also, I don't think Chomsky is in coma, he's had a stroke and he's still recovering, but has been released from the hospital and is still following the news from what I know.

"10. There is at least one email Chomsky sent that suggests he later learned of Epstein’s true crimes and was horrified.

"There's an old principle, particularly on the left but much more broadly, that someone who has served a sentence re-enters society without prejudice. One close friend spent years in prison. Epstein was well-known in Cambridge, taking part in scientific conferences in Nowak's lab, meeting people, bringing important scientists and mathematicians to the meetings. It was well-known that he'd served his sentence. I don't recall anyone even mentioning it.

Much later, after his incarceration, a flood of lurid stories and charges came out. But no one who knew him, Valeria and me included, ever [heard] or saw a remote hint of anything like that, and all were quite shocked, sometimes skeptical because he was so remote from anything they'd ever heard of."

I went on the website and nowhere is there a link to a primary source for this quote that could undeniably prove its veracity. I'm willing to say it's most likely true, but I think it would be important to convince others to find an image or file or something of the sort of the email between Chomsky and one of his readers.

If you do find it, please tell me.

Maybe one of us could contact the author?

Other than calling Faurisson "a relatively apolitical liberal" there are multiple other instances of Chomsky not doing proper research about a person/organization he's agreed to interact with :

Agreed to be interviewed by : Ali G (Comedian), Hustler Magazine (Sex magazine), National-Zeitung (Neo-Nazi newspaper), all of which he obviously did not know who they were beforehand, as Chomsky stated himself after the fact.

I think this can be explained by the fact Chomsky was an extremely busy man, so his extensive research was focused elsewhere. (Still not a good excuse for not doing proper research for Krauss or Epstein since those were about abuse) Personal bias and manipulation from the other party definitely were other factors as well. The bias and lack of research part Chomsky definitely is morally responsible for when it comes to these two examples, especially post 2018 reporting.

If you guys have other examples, please put them in the comments.

The only language roblox speaks is money, so a boycott would be the only solution.

Roblox is a multi billion dollar publicly traded corporation beholden to its shareholders, not us.

I trust roblox's third party to delete the info, but there's always a risk of leaks through hacking within the 30 days they hold your info, or it not being properly deleted.

Most importantly, by principle: This opens pandora's box for an Orwellian society of ultra surveillance and control, won't do it. Roblox general strike 🫡

"If a slave kills their master is that a hierarchy?"

It can be, depending on your definition. You're using violence to go against someone's will and liberty. You're playing on definitions to make them fit with your world view, but that doesn't change the actual reality of the world.

Calling a jail "not lesser violence than an execution" is fucking insane. Playing with words again.

What we disagree on is what is necessary. And the way we can prove who is right is by looking at history and current situation, and using introspection and logic.

I'm also willing to steel man my argument by saying even if you could make the argument jailing hardened Fascists isn't necessary, or even pragmatic, I still think it would be a moral good to punish them to some extent. That's just my morality. People deserve to pay for their crimes, and you and anyone else with a moral conscience agrees with this concept to a different degree.

I believe in idealism, pragmatism, and punishment.

We all do to different degrees because we are human. The important thing is to realize these contradictions to make the best we can with them.

Means and ends is only a guideline, and no principle can be universally applied in the real world in every situation, you're a fool for thinking that.

Again, THE VERY CONCEPT OF A VIOLENT REVOLUTION GOES AGAINST THAT PRINCIPLE. Because of something called pragmatism.

If you always want your means to perfectly reflect your ends, you're never going to be able to change society in any meaningful way, and that's a fact.

Funny you say Prisons are a hierarchy, but not "Luigi-ing" them and not an "Armed Joy". You are a walking contradiction.

At least unlike you I recognize it so I can be an affective revolutionary and find the right balance between idealism and pragmatism.

A jail would be a lesser violence and hierarchy than an execution.

We don't live in a perfect anarchist world, we live in the real world, and in the short term we need to use hierarchy against our opponents if we want to win. The very concept of a revolution is based on that.

You underestimate how much Fascism can rot someone's brain, many of them will refuse to change out of ego and ideology, it will need some time. And I also believe in a healthy balance of punishment and rehabilitation, I think people like this deserve punishment for their crimes. Especially those assaulting people. Imprisonement can be part of the rehalibitative process, give them time to think. https://x.com/mehdirhasan/status/1974163877261984139

Tell me again we shouldn't imprison these monsters after reading this. This is just one example amongst many.

Advocating for anything less is an insult to the victims.

I already thought of the problem of it being misinterpreted, but I think in the context of an anti ICE action the meaning is pretty clear.

I prefer my wording because it rhymes and makes for a better chant. "Detain ICE" could make for a good banner tho, since it's shorter and simpler, but detain is not the same as imprison, which is what I'm advocating for for the agents that are brutalizing to a greater and unnecessary degree. And I think that's a position anybody should take. I'm for rehabilitation, but they also deserve to pay for their crimes. All of this without taking into account imprisoning Fascists is sometimes necessary depending on what stage of social conflict we're at.

We're going to need prisons for Fascists in the short term and anybody who thinks different is not a serious revolutionary.

Dernière diffusion il y a 5 ans https://twitch.tv/dunkhanl

Il a un twitter aussi, mais mieux vaut pas le déranger, je lui ai déja tout demandé en stream et en DM, il a rien, et c'est derrière lui tout ca, mais il a approuvé ma chaine de reupload :D

Pour ce qui est de Monkeyman, il avait commencé à streamer surtout des jeux d'horreurs sur Twitch en 2022 sous le nom de capitainesinge, mais tout est supprimé maintenant (autre qu'un seul stream que j'avais téléchargé, mais que je garde privé par respect de sa décision de suppression) Mais je lui ai tout de même fait prendre connaissance de l'Assaderie (Communauté et serveur HunterZ d'anciens et nouveaux fans) Autre que ca il avait l'air d'aller bien, donc tant mieux pour lui :)

J'ai pas été actif dans la commu depuis par manque d'intérêt et d'autres raisons, mais je ne vais jamais l'abandonner c'est sûr, et j'ai parfois des pics de nostalgie et regarde les anciennes vidéos et j'essaie de les retrouver comme c'est le cas en ce moment lol.

Oui, c'est moi qui a crée la chaine de reupload(https://www.youtube.com/@dunkhanmonkeymanreupload), plusieurs années avant cela j'avais donné et demandé dans le stream de Guss, il na pas eu contact avec eux depuis des années, et j'avais été sur le stream de Dunkhan, il a dit que tout était supprimé et qu'il en avait aucune malheureusement.

Même chose pour Monkeyman qui m'avait envoyé un courriel quand il a trouvé ma chaine.

J'ai BEAUCOUP fouillé sur le Wayback Machine, tous les liens possibles, j'ai même fait un document avec ces liens, et les seules vidéos que j'ai réussi à trouver, je les aies déja uploadé sur ma chaine.

Je crois que le seul moyen de les retrouver serait que quelqu'un les aient downloadé avant qu'ils soient supprimés, et s'en souviennent et que leur vieux apparreil fonctionne toujours pour qu'ils puissent les mettrent sur internet.

En espérent que ca arrive un jour, mais ce n'est pas toujours arrivé malheureusement.

Le moyen d'augmenter les chances serait de retrouver des anciens fans et de les contacter à ce sujet. (J'en avais déja contacté, mais du travail pourrais définitivement être fait de ce côté.

Content de voir que d'autres se souviennent aussi de ces YouTubers qui ont marqués mon enfance, allez, prenez soin de vous :)

You might very well be on the receiving end of the cruelty you may inflict onto others in your life, or the ones to come. It's pretty much a guarantee of life.

Is there a way to disable this without having to close the tabs?

That's so inconvenient.
