Very sad to see our mortality as we watch Chomsky slip away. Let's celebrate his life and his accomplishments - our eventual deterioration and demise is all a part of our grand story of life. He's done amazing things with his time here and we'd all be lucky to have 95 great years like that.

I'm a big fan of his work in the field of genocide denial and atrocity apologetics, truly inspirational.
