Back 20 years ago in college I emailed Chomsky with a number of questions about the global issues of the day. I received a detailed, point-by-point response from him that very evening.
For a public intellectual he was really approachable, RIP.
I was 30 years old when I got an entry level call center job in a software company. 10 years later I'm on the development team and finishing my degree. Hang in there 30 is the new 20.
For a public intellectual he was really approachable, RIP.
