Much love to Noam , I wish he could live forever , but …. I will pay attention to those he suggests.
I’ve been reading and listening to Noam Chomsky for many years. He causes me to think. He has also led me to others who are very much worth listening to and learning from. If I had to choose just, let’s say, three people to learn from, and there are many more I value, I would have to name Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, and Eduardo Galeano. There are younger people coming along, Noam mentions a couple at the end of this video, Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greewald. Of course there are women, too, like Nomi Prins and Amy Goodman along with Naomi Klein, these three immediately come to mind.
