| 520 | _aNoam Chomsky’s repeated ties to Jeffrey Epstein challenge his moral authority. Chomsky’s defence—which relies on legal formalism and a “clean slate”—contradicts his lifelong critique of systemic power. He fails to recognise the political nature of private predation due to a Cartesian rationalism that privileges abstract intellect over embodied suffering. The article proposes a “resource extraction” model for Chomsky’s legacy: retain his analytical tools but reject the intellectual bewitchment shielding the powerful from accountability. –Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/16/commentary/what-does-intelligence-excuse.html | ||
