I ve been interviewed countless times, but my favorite interviewer is David Jay Brown, who asked me questions for his book Conversations on the Edge of the Apocalypse The book includes some of the coolest thinkers of our time as they consider the future of the human race and the mystery of consciousness. David s interviewees included such luminaries as Noam Chomsky, Kary Mullis, Candace Pert, Robert Anton Wilson, Douglas Rushkofif, Paul Krassner, Bruce Sterling, Ray Kurzweil, Hans Moravec, John Mack, and Alex Grey. 

Without a theory of the mind it is impossible to explain how a language is learned, and we must conclude that a child has an inborn mind, a set of mental rules and mental objects which allow him to interact with the external world. It is known, furthermore, that a child can learn any language whatsoever, and this means that the inborn mind must contain a set of rules which apply to all languages, a set that Noam Chomsky (1965, 1972) has called universal grammar. 

The scientific study of mental development has produced two outstanding discoveries. One is that there is an enormous gap between inputs and outputs (the so-called poverty of the stimulus), because children receive only very limited and erratic inputs of words in their learning period, and yet in the end they come up with a complete set of rules. The second is that children are predisposed to learn any language whatsoever, and so must develop, at some stage, a common inborn mind, a set of general rules that Noam Chomsky (1965) called universal grammar. So far, these discoveries have not been properly explained, probably because they have only been interpreted with ad... 

As regards the "legality" of such issues, Noam Chomsky has said "Those...

To finish off this subsection, we need to briefly consider the work of Noam Chomsky, as it has, in a certain sense, provided the inspiration for the basic idea behind this foray into philosophy - that there is a close connection between the system concept and its pervasiveness and a certain feature of the mind [3]. Chomsky developed a rigorous description of a language in terms of its grammar, consisting of a lexicon and a set of rules, with the latter subdivided into a syntactic...
