American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, historian, social critic, and political activist, Chomsky as per The New York Times, is arguably the “most significant rational alive.” Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic philosophy, and is one of the founders of the field of cognitive science.

His address will be entitled “Bullet dodged or merely delayed: Reflections on the future of democracy, nuclear threat and the looming environmental catastrophe in a post Trumpian world,” and will be accessible to the broad public on 7th of December, 2020 at 6:15 PM Pakistan Standard Time(PST).

Having authored around 100 books oscillating from linguistics to etymology to politics to mass media in his long and memorable career, Noam Chomsky is now serving as a Laureate Lecturer at the University of Arizona, and Institute Professor Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Abstract of the Lecture

It’s known that many around the world blew a deep sigh of relief when it became obvious that Joe Biden had finally crushed Donald Trump in the current U.S. presidential election, apparently ending a dim chapter in American and global history. But is it too early to take comfort?
