He was doing really well and then-- “The idea that you might want to read something is too much, can’t do that.” He should know better than to say something so one-dimensional, because it lumps his good points in with the "another old guy who doesn't use the internet fully" point.Chomsky then went on to denigrate those whose primary sources of knowledge are online, saying that when he tells these people they should “take a look at something they can look up and read, that usually ends the conversation.”
