I consider Understanding Power an essential read, but really soured on Chomsky as a person when he defended his going to Epstein’s island meetings with Epstein. I still think people should read him but not glorify him.
Edit: there is no evidence, as far as I’m aware, Chomsky went to Epstein’s Island. I misremembered.
Wait a second, are you just going to drop that without any further elaboration or source?
As far as I was aware, he knew him and he met with him a couple of times. His reaction to getting asked about it wasn’t that great, but him “going to Epstein island” is a bit on another level, no?
No actually you are totally right and I’ve made a big mistake. I thought I remembered him going to the island, but he just met with him a couple times. His reaction was pretty poor, but I don’t think there’s evidence he went to his island. I’ll edit my comment. Thanks for pointing that out.
