Chomsky is the NYT opinion section of academics. Where it matters, he's smoothly aligned with the rich and powerful. Where it doesn't matter, he's allowed to be a polemicist.
Depends on what you mean by "we". Humanity? Yeah, impossible to die out by fertility crisis merely due to lifestyle. The fewer babies are born, the more unoccupied space there is, making it more and more attractive to…

You're equivocating two totally separate things
Pros and cons to this. It would re-centralize media again, stochastically dictating what we talk about. The Epstein case would have been sealed some five or so years ago without the onslaught of publicly visible…
