Here's a real academic for you to read.
Sometimes described as "the father of modern linguistics," Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic philosophy and one of the founders of the field of cognitive science. He holds a joint appointment as Institute Professor Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and laureate professor at the University of Arizona,[22][23] and is the author of over 100 books on topics such as linguistics, war, politics, and mass media. Ideologically, he aligns with anarcho-syndicalism and libertarian socialism.

Recently on this forum, there has been in upsurge in threads about far right thinkers. The problem I have with most of them, is thier thinking is myopic, focused on one idea and stripped of historical context. Here is an example of a thinker who is intimately familar with history and language. Note how precise his language is and the dept of context he adds.
This interview originally appeared on the blog of the Institute for New Economic Thinking.
To help make sense of where we stand as an economy, as a country, and as human beings, Noam Chomsky, Institute Professor Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Laureate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Arizona, shares his thoughts with Lynn Stuart Parramore on the Age of Trump, foreign policy, dissent in the internet age, public education, corporate predation, who’s really messing with American elections, climate change, and more.
