Chomsky does not speak much about the essence of human nature, although his comments on human behavior being deceitful can be deciphered through his analysis of the propaganda model.

FILTER 1: size, ownership, profit organization of mass media
FILTER 2: advertising as the primary income source of the mass media
FILTER 3: reliance of the media on information provided by government, business, and “experts” funded and approved by these primary sources and agents of power
FILTER 4: “flak” as a means of disciplining the media
FILTER 5: “anti-terrorism” as a national religion and control mechanism

It is through this model that he implies the corruption in society, especially within media and business corporations. Those with power try to protect their own interests through control and propaganda.

Chomsky declares that humans are the most uniquely and intelligently sound out of all biological bodies, and have a need for creative work, inquirey and freedom from institutions. Critically, he says that society should support this realization instead of hampering the potential of people.
