Noam Chomsky has been one of my most important political mentors. My few conversations with him have been immensely valuable. His work is careful and scholarly. I've since emphasized different aspects of the fight for freedom and justice, especially the hope that is all of our birthright and that has been so trampled. But Chomsky got me to open my eyes and focus on my own duties.

That's interesting, could you say a bit more about your conversations with Noam? What did you ask him and how did he respond?

I don't recall. It was all conversations on the old Z Net forums about ideas like post-scarcity economies, etc.
