What you’re about to hear is the full, unedited interview with one of the guests we spoke with. If you haven’t listened to the fully produced episode yet, I definitely encourage you to do so before listening to this one. They’re shorter in length and much more refined. You can find them all at gradx.mit.edu/podcasts. The idea behind these longer, unedited conversation is to give you an opportunity to hear the entire talk, warts and all. This is not only a fun way to hear the full flow of the conversation but it also emphasizes the importance of the points made in the shorter, produced episodes, which again, can be found at gradx.mit.edu/podcasts. Thanks for listening and enjoy the conversation. NOAM CHOMSKY AG: Professor Chomsky, thanks for joining us. NC: Glad to be with you. AG: Alright, are you ready for some, hopefully good questions? NC: Sure thing.

Do you have preference or any feelings on which is a more effective communication tool for an audience? NC: What’s the best communication tool? AG: Yes. NC: Personal discussion, face to face. AG: Face to Face. Did you kind of discover that throughout time or did you have to trial these different things to see if that fit better. NC: I just think it’s a natural human characteristic to want to be with people directly, rather than through some alienating medium. AG: Sort of like this conversation here, yes? So, you were involved in a truth out article recently, a couple weeks back and in a question that regarded political rhetoric, the core of your answer was not really for the speaker teacher to persuade others,
