Did Someone Say Thesis?

Hey guys, I would also like a copy of Ashley’s thesis. Can it be posted somewhere? I’m totally on Ashley’s side here. Chomsky is a student of the Bertrand Russell school. He’s hyper rationalist. Having loved him and followed him my whole life, I also have a theory that he’s...
