Chomsky vs Skinner was the original Kendrick Lamar vs Drake.

This comparison is extra ironic because their argument was over language acquisition and neither Lamar nor Drake can read.

What? This comes off super weird and bigoted because they definitely both can read.

Lamar and Drake are barely sentient narcissists. Don’t worry, no danger of offending them since they can’t read.
