Reporting from Oct 31 2019. Happy to say that, after watching another interview w/ Chomsky, he explained exactly how he felt about that interview. Not only did he not want to do it (BBC came and gave him song and dance about how it'll be serious), but he nearly terminated the whole thing, and only remained out of politeness and courtesy. Good man, Great thinker.

Yeah I saw that too. There aren't too many people I'd say don't deserve to be trolled because their time is too important, but in the case of Chomsky I would definitely make that case. He reportedly gets 100's of speaking requests a day, and his interviews are always brilliant.

john m I'm pretty sure you've never read a single sentence that Foucault wrote. I've got a feeling that you've just copied your opinion of Foucault from someone like Jordan Peterson or Camille Paglia? Not to say that they aren't magnificent philosophers/thinkers, however Foucault had several fascinating theories about our society and how we conduct ourselves in it, even though he was also wrong about several things. Also Foucault didn't consider himself a postmodernist at all. He considered himself a Nietzschean, which he kind of was.
