Good Google Talk

Google recently had Noam Chomsky take questions.
For those outside the fields of AI, Linguistics, Psych, etc., he is a very influential and highly quoted theorist. The talk begins on the topic of universal grammar (which I think is a misleading and utterly useless premise), but quickly(about 16min in) opens to politics, history, culture, and current events (on which, his insights are more useful).

If you can spare an hour, it's worth a watch.
Heres the link so you can go watch it full screen, and it's also embedded below.
