I'd also like to say that I don't completely agree with Chomsky as a person. He has some hilariously veiled perspectives on Libertarianism, some funnily explicit preferences for Leftism (or, at least, what he calls "Leftism"), he's denounced Jordan Peterson as a verbose (which he is, I'll grant him that) false intellectual and even a few more things I'm not particularly fond of.
With that being said, I enjoy the idea of meta grammar (which we could speak about extensively) and I clearly enjoy the perspective he invokes when he discusses Wage Slavery. Between these concepts and his finely tuned frame of anarchism, which I have an appreciation for, I think he's about 60/40 (60 being more typically wrong).

In other words, don't think this means I typically praise Chomsky for all of his correct and well founded assertions. There's plenty I disagree with.

Flesch-Kincaid readability level of 15.2, even while being pithy. Nice.

Could you please elaborate? I'm not sure what you're talking about. I mean, I vaguely understand the readability test, but I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to and I'm also not so sure about what you mean anyway.

. The Fleisch-Kincaid number is the educational level needed to comprehend a particular piece of writing. I used it when I periodically wrote for two publications, back in ancient times, the 90's, to make sure High school freshman, with an average reading level of 13, could understand my words.
