Noam Chomsky, a renowned American philosopher and professor

Noam Chomsky, a renowned American philosopher and professor, has been silenced at the age of 95. He has lost the ability to speak and write, leaving behind a legacy of powerful words that challenged the status quo. His insights, which exposed the injustices of global systems, will continue to resonate for generations to come. 

Here are some of his most impactful reflections: 

"There are no poor countries, only failed systems of resource management." 

"No one will place the truth in your mind; it is something you must discover for yourself." 

"The world is a mysterious and confusing place. If you are not willing to be confused, you become a mere replica of someone else’s mind."

"If you want to control a people, create an imaginary enemy that appears more dangerous than you, then present yourself as their savior." 

"There is a purpose behind distorting history to make it seem like only great men achieve significant things. It teaches people to believe they are powerless and must wait for a great man to act." 

"One of the clearest lessons of history: rights are not granted; they are taken by force." 

"To control people, make them believe they are responsible for their own misery and present yourself as their savior." 

"The West will one day regret its shallow ideas that alienate people from their true nature. One must seek the right religion and the right belief."

"The general population doesn't know what's happening, and it doesn't even know that it doesn't know.”

“How it is we have so much information, but know so little?”

“Hypocrites are those who apply to others the standards that they refuse to accept for themselves.”
