このコンテンツについて
In the past few days, speculation and conversation around Noam Chomsky have reached a notable peak, reflecting both his quiet influence and his marked absence from the public stage. Just this weekend, a surge of social media posts paid tribute to Chomsky’s intellectual legacy, sparking widespread concern about his health. According to recent reporting by AOL and TIME, Chomsky, now 95, remains out of the public eye due to a significant medical event that occurred over a year ago. Family and close associates confirm he is alive, dispelling false rumors of his death, but also share that his ability to communicate is now severely limited and that he is not ambulatory. His longtime office manager Bev Stohl clarified to concerned followers on Reddit that while he watches the news, he is essentially retired from public life and is unlikely to make a recovery that would allow a return to public commentary or media interviews.
Chomsky’s recent absence from current debates—especially on pressing issues like the Israel-Palestine conflict—has prompted reflection from journalists, fellow intellectuals, and activists. Many have taken to X, formerly Twitter, to recount his extraordinary impact as a thinker, educator, and advocate for justice. Figures such as Nathan Robinson of Current Affairs and journalist Mehdi Hasan have expressed gratitude, with Robinson reflecting on personal stories of Chomsky’s kindness, and Hasan sending well wishes to the figure he called unmatched in our lifetime. Meanwhile, some critics have revisited controversies surrounding Chomsky’s career, underscoring that even in absence, his stances provoke heated debate.
Despite his poor health, Chomsky's thought and words continue to steer public analysis. For example, following the assassination of public figure Charlie Kirk, YouTube commentators stressed that Chomsky’s emphatic rejection of political violence as both tactically self-defeating and morally wrong remains salient. Chomsky’s advice, often given to young correspondents, was cited: when violence erupts, the right response is education and organizing, not escalation—a lesson repeatedly emphasized by both his supporters and critics in recent coverage.
While there have been minor appearances by way of old footage and rediscovered interviews, there are no verified public appearances, book releases, or new business ventures in the last week. The only hint of new work is the publication of recent tributes, retrospective reviews, and the anticipation—though not launch—of the book “The Myth of American Idealism,” co-authored with Nathan Robinson.
For now, Chomsky’s influence is felt primarily through the ongoing conversations he sparked, his warnings against violence, and the outpouring of gratitude and critique shared by thousands across mainstream and social media.
