Ah! So, This is Noam Chomsky
Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) NLP claims to help people change by
teaching them to program their brains. We were given brains, we are
told, but no instruction manual. NLP offers you a user-manual for the
brain. The brain-manual seems to be a metaphor for NLP training, which
is sometimes referred to as "software for the brain." Furthermore,
NLP, consciously or unconsciously, relies heavily upon (1) the notion
of the unconscious mind as constantly influencing conscious thought
and action; (2) metaphorical behavior and speech, especially building
upon the methods used in Freud's Interpretation of Dreams; and (3)
hypnotherapy as developed by Milton Erickson. NLP is also heavily
influenced by the work of Gregory Bateson and *Noam Chomsky*.

This certainly might explain why he's been so useful to MIT, the
hothouse of the military-industrial complex, for four decades; why he
commands a world-wide reputation and a salary enough to house him in
Lexington, MA and his prodigious churning out of pseudo-Anarchist yada
yada. Doesn't it?
