Summary of Noam Chomsky - On Being Truly Educated

• 00:00:00

  Noam Chomsky believes being truly educated involves the ability to inquire and create independently without external controls, as emphasized by classic views on education such as those of early humanist thinkers and modern physicists. To be truly educated means knowing how to ask serious questions, challenge standard beliefs, and develop a path to pursue knowledge. It requires not just having knowledge, but also knowing where to look, how to question, and how to proceed independently in the face of challenges. An ideal educational system should cultivate these skills from kindergarten to graduate school, fostering cooperation and solidarity with others. This leads to individuals who are truly educated by Chomsky's standards.
