This is a terrible take, I may not agree politically with most of Chomsky's positions but he as far from a babbling idiot as you can get.
Now you may be referring to current Chomsky who is pushing 90 and is a bit incoherent, but is that really a fair comparison to the man he once was? Remember, old age will come for you too.

Here’s a video of Chomsky debating William F. Buckley. He sounds pretty idiotic right out of the block. He holds that some topics are beyond even being discussed (anti-free speech), and his examples are Auschwitz and similarly, the Vietnam War.
Even if we make the assumption that he means it’s beyond the pale of discussion to talk about systematic extermination of a group of people (of course), he then equates that to (I presume) the continuing military intervention of the U. S. in the Vietnam War.
Say what? Those are equivalent? And participation in the Vietnam War beyond even discussing? Spoken like the communist sympathizer he was.
That’s just the beginning.

In college we study Hobbes and Rousseau and Locke and Descartes. They lived hundreds of years ago, but their thinking still permeates our law and culture.
Who is writing today whose work will endure?
I am an optimist about people (like Rousseau), so I am expecting a lot out of you baws! But I am also a realist and foresee a lot of bullshite.
Anybody?

Solid list. I’d add Sam Harris just because I think he’s been so outspoken about some controversial things.
