I may not have agreed with every one of his positions in later life but Noam Chomsky was one of the defining people in opening my eyes to the world as it is versus how I’d taken it to be at face value (as someone who didn’t have to question it while growing up in a relatively privileged environment).
Rest in peace, Noam. The world has lost a great mind and an even greater conscience today.

Has his death been confirmed yet? This happens every other day on social media

@LALegault @mtrigo Looks like not. Several news sites have taken down their articles. And his wife apparently reported that he’s alive.

@selje Conflicting reports. Quite possible he’s still alive. Updated post.

@nus @samhainnight @joannejacobs Several news sites had reported it but some have taken it down and his wife reportedly said he’s still alive. Updated the post.

@samhainnight @joannejacobs @aral hoax?
One of the first places I looked to confirm this was was Wikipedia, which didn't list a date of death. So I started having my doubts.
But also his website was down, which in retrospect might have been due to the fact the claim was circulating regardless of truth.

@joannejacobs @aral I guess she would know.
