But Budka, Chomsky’s take on the symbology of SL artifacts as a dialogue on using created objects as language blah blah blah *will be* about anti-Semitism and America-bashing. You can count on it.

More interesting would be Chomskys take on the symbology of SL artifacts as a dialogue on using created objects as language. Is our mutual attempt to recreate RL habitats a paucity of imagination or simply an admission that we must have “meaning” to our sense of place? It would be interesting to see him do a series of newbie articles reflecting his impressions and understanding.

As a Jew I’ve nearly always taken offence to Mr. Chomsky’s ideals. I can seem to get through any of his books without being so enraged I simply have to put them down. However, having him in game would be a wonderful opportunity for me to tell the guy what I think of his being a jew anti-semite. Bring it the F on.

Prok:

Without the cover of their RL fame? If they are in the game more than likely it will be advertised who they are. Even those with little fame like myself get barraged with a ton of messages, friend requests, etc. Trust me, there is never any cover of fame hahaha

I think people in SL would rather hear Chomsky on politics and hate-America and hate-Israel stuff than on linguistics. I tend to think my college professors were right, however: the linguistics professors would say his politics was good but the linguistics was squirrely; the political science professors said the linguistics was elegant but the politics stank. I am so grateful for my liberal Catholic education : )

Why don’t you get him to debate someone, even bring back Thomas Barnett? Heck, I’ll debate him for you, after all, Hamlet calls me the Chomsky of SL, bleh.

Well who knows, maybe they *are* doing that. Remember the stories about Brad Pitt being in TSO? The problem is that if they are in game and under cover there’s nothing in it for *us*, which means (more importantly) that there is nothing in it for *me*.

I do think it would be sweet if we could get chomsky to come in game to talk. Should I talk to him about it?

I think these famous people ought to be encouraged to come on as alts and talk to people normally without the cover of their RL fame.

I like the town hall meeting type of event. That would seem to work well with this type of thing. Keep us informed!
