Noam Chomsky, Institute Professor at MIT and Elizabeth S. Spelke, Professor of Psychology Co-Director, Harvard University discuss the relationship between language and morality and their universal connection. Chomsky begins with a brief history of language and reveals how different cultures have different ideas about what is morally good. Spelke begins by linking humans together by their relationship in viewing objects and numbers, but notes that cultural differences may make humans different "fundamentally different." The lecture is a powerful and eye-opening discussion on human universality. The speakers do a great job of identifying difference by cultures and the conflicts they create. Chomsky and Spelke believe that universality holds the "remedy" to resolving these worldwide conflicts.
