I luckily had a mass evolve ready to go with 8 new dex entries . That alone was 230 k or so . IIRC , I started the event 30 k short of level 27 and am now 15 k into level 28 so that means I ' ve racked up almost 300 k . And I ' m out of town for the holiday with not enough stopsballs and nothing much around our cabin at all . My hope is to get a darn ditto and get to level 29 another 285 k by the end of the event but I only have 25 ish evolutions ready to go so we ' ll see <| sep |> good . take all you can <| sep |> Well , depending on who you ask , Chomsky is Chomsky for idiots . I read Manufacturing Consent before I became a journalist , and then reread a few years after , once I was experienced and knowledgeable about the trade . That was an interesting experience . That was about the time I became extremely skeptical of Chomsky the first time I read it , it was an eye opener , a brilliantly written and argued pulling back of the curtain . The second time , it was possibly one of if not the most excellently written and argued load of utter bollocks I ' ve ever read , pretty clearly written by someone with some minor media experience , and no journalistic education or experience . Which turned out to be untrue it was actually written by TWO people with no journalistic education or experience , everybody forgets about Edward S . Herman , poor fella .
