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.

Here ya go (webfx.com). 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.
