Even if it’s true” that 9/11 was an inside job, “…who cares? I mean, it doesn’t have any significance. I mean it’s a little bit like the huge amount of energy that’s put out on trying to figure out who killed John F. Kennedy. I mean, who knows, and who cares…plenty of people get killed all the time. Why does it matter that one of them happens to be John F. Kennedy?”

He did sign the Jersey widow's petition in early 2007, though. #6432, two names after Phil Jayhan. (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/dunno.gif)

I know at least one person who is just like him. Holds very much the same opinion.

I find I have nothing to say to such a person. They are describing a reality I no longer believe in.

Perceptions of social reality do change through time but not everyone changes along with them. I read the long 9/11blogger diatribe against Chompsky and think, although it was over worded and lengthy, it raised some important points. I don't know Chompsky and can't really say how he manages to sustain this particular opinion short of either duplicity or ignorance. I do know that my friend is afraid to know -- and by that I mean afraid that the consequences of his accepting this idea would utterly shatter his understanding of everything. Afraid it will shatter his very sanity. Instinctively he knows this and, for this reason, refuses to even consider any evidence that strongly contradicts the official account for fear, I think, that he will find it may be true. The information is certainly available to him but he willfully chooses to ignore it because of what it would mean.

There is a psychology at work here beyond irony when people such as Chomsky choose to cling to their necessary illusions for fear of the naked truth.

The end of the world: The old world buns up when men see it for what it is. Those who can not see it, get burned up along with it.

You think your metaphor is the connotation then you think the other guys metaphor is a lie. You see what I mean? And here all these people all over the planet talking about the same connotation, sticking to their metaphors and we're having trouble. I think I've got the answer to the contemporary problem. . . .

In myth the metaphor is two fold in its connotation. One is psychological and the other is universal. The metaphor of the myth is metaphysical as well as psychological in its connotation and it is connotative of both at the same time.

All of us in our lives are psychologically motivated in terms sometimes of purely local, personal almost accidental problems that become for us momentous. But occasionally also we hit problem fields that are universal to the human spirit and then our dreams begin to be identical with myth.  . . .

In myth the experiences of the environment come to the mind through the senses and they evoke a response in the imagination. And where the imagination comes and meets input from the environment you have a fusion and that's myth. . . .

There's the wonderful words of Novalis:

"The seat of the soul is there, where the outer and the inner worlds meet."

Sorry,

Bon apétit, sheeple.

Yeah, Chomsky is a turd. Of the highest order. That or he's a major freakin' retard.

I don't think he's a retard.
