On the third and final installment of our series on the life, work, and legacy of Noam Chomsky, Justin and I talk about Chomsky the Doomer: between nuclear war and climate collapse, he doesn\\u2019t hold out much hope for the survival of the human race. What makes him such a Gloomy Gus? Reading critically through Chomsky\\u2019s lectures and writings on the end of the world, we look at the details of his apocalyptic thinking and examine why he thinks we\\u2019re currently living through the \\u201cterminal stage of human existence.\\u201d But are we really doomed? Or is there a trapdoor to a different future?\\xa0\\xa0
