…be something so abstract. That you couldn't conclude, well, you know, people had to look at language probably 15,000 years before Noam Chomsky was able to write down the 15 rules of transformational grammar. It may have, there may be some. A pixel or an…
…or at least I think it does, because I started talking about this in response to your question. Does your last remark include Chomsky and depth grammar? Yeah. But. So here's what I have come to conclude, and reluctantly, I am pushed to take yet another…
…I'm sure, entirely arbitrary in consciousness. But of course, it naturally flowed around and reflected these syntactical deep, these Chomsky and syntactical deep structures which were already there to give meaning to. Hand signaling, body English, winks, nods,…
…architecture of the human organism, which, onto a game such as that, will effortlessly lay what is called syntax. And Chomsky and others have shown that what is called the rules of transformational grammar, or the deep structures of language, are…
…knows. Yeah. You were talking about syntax and language and being able to go back on. The other side and look at it. And Chomsky, I think, wrote some books about what that syntax all looks like. I was just wondering what you saw when you went on the…
…apprehendable languages. And he felt there were 15 rules of deep structure. I never could really understand the fine print on Chomsky. It seemed pretty tormented to me. What I discover most spectacularly in the DMT state is there are these entities there…
…of show. Anyway, check it out if you get a chance. Now, after we hear from the ninja, I've included a bit by Noam Chomsky, who if you don't know who he is, well, you may want to go googling. And following Chomsky's remarks, you'll hear from some…
…everybody find their voice, their own voice. RT is sitting down with world renowned scholar, linguist, author, and MIT Professor Noam Chomsky. Professor Chomsky, thank you very much for taking time to speak with RT. Glad to be with you. The first issue…

…them down into matter. And, you know, the fact that you can recognize instantly millions of sentences that you've never heard before. Chomsky and his school has spent a lot of time trying to understand this. So language is like the privileged vehicle by…

…exists in the world. Language is a constant growth of semantic trees toward different kinds of closure under the aegis of these Chomsky and deep structural rules, or some other rules, similar but not yet known, and that mind is entangled in all of this,…
…Linguistic utterance, I mean, maybe. Well, let's look at the proposition. No two human thoughts are exactly alike. If you believe Chomsky and theories of deep structure, what's been said there is any thinkable thought is going to follow rules that can be…
…meaning, but keep producing this stuff. The syntactical organization is still there, almost as though syntax, and I think probably Chomsky and that school has established this, that syntax is an assembly language, a deeper structure behind the local language.…
…an epigenetic behavior. Language is an epigenetic behavior. Painting, dance, language, possibly borderline quasi genetic, quasi epigenetic, as Chomsky implied. The thing that we're not coming to terms with, because it's almost literally, it's unthinkable, is that…
…it is the most remarkable thing we do, I think, and we talked a little bit this morning about epigenetic behaviors. Chomsky showed that language, the deep structure of language, is under genetic control. But that's like the assembly language level. Local…
…be as weird as what happens to you when you smoke DMT. It would just be a news, something for NASA to take over. Chomsky would explain it to us. The linguistic side, I mean. But you personally can meet the alien anytime you want, and the culture can…
…I've never really been all that comfortable with the idea that language would involve out of grunts and groans. When guys like Chomsky say, it's all organized, there's a big system in language, and all kinds of languages can be very different. But inside…
