I think this was an email interviewDoes there happen to be an audio for this?
Thanks for the link, this is an absolute gem.
I'm not surprised this thread is quiet considering all the politicos(identity politics) on here,the interview highlights even more some of the nonsense from "both sides" on this forum during the election and what still continues ,also highlights the redundant ideologues political fantasy's that get spewed on here attempting to sow Peat into their bias.
What's wrong with talking about identity politics ?I was hoping it would encourage people, in general, to stop talking about identity politics
Interesting interview. I concur with a lot of it. Why I think politics don't matter in the big scheme of things:
It's all about the veils IMHO............Slavery And The Eight Veils
I love when he disses Chomsky. So many people, myself included at one point, think he is the savior of the common man. IMHO he is just another of the ruling classes' pied pipers, whose whole purpose is to keep his fans in a state of inaction and fascination.Ray Peat said
"Seeing how successful the system has been in keeping the culture in line, I have increasingly looked for places in the culture that are designed to prevent change, but that are susceptible to criticism. Some of these were Chomsky’s doctrine of innate language knowledge, genetic determinism, neo-kantianism, ideas of substance and fields, definitions of consciousness, and ideas of complexity and time."

I'll have to check that out. I wasted a whole lot of time listening to him.If you Google around you will see that quite a few former intelligence officers have "outed" Chomsky as one of their own. Of course, whether they can be believed is another story but I am 100% with Peat on saying Chomsky's ideas on linguistics, grammar and some social policies serve the ruling class.
not sure. i haven´t found a quote where he mentions that he drinks espresso. just that in espresso is more Coffein and we sure know he likes that.I really like that idea! Do we know if he likes espresso?
