As depicted in this photograph; Einstein was cunning, and a lunguist.

On a serious note, I wish I could recall where but someone broke down a perspective new to me about the linguistic angle of Noam Chomsky and how linguistics and the meanings of things and all that tie deeply into spin and propaganda. But they said it far better. It seems obvious now but I'd never tied his "activism" with his "linguistics" before, even though I knew he was a limited hangout ever since the first time I saw him deny that 9/11 was worth study - as if anything else could be more important, causing a global terror war.

I think it was either the most recent The Antidote podcast episode or slightly more likely the most recent Myth Of The 20th Century podcast episode. Unless they've released another in the last 3-5 days.
