Beautifully said. I think many of us feel like this, especially because his spoken lectures are almost as dense as his books (or even more dense).

Try writing about it, as a journal. dont try and be pretentious about it, just write about it without any kind of censorship. Dont be the mediator of your own thoughts, just write! If you do that for a while, you will come to find when speaking with your friends your thoughts and ability to articulate them have been improved

Yes indeed

You probably need to read Wittgenstein.

u can fight it by presenting it to them and talk about how hard it is for so you to present it because its new and so on so you retroactively create your destiny with your friends in that moment and you can talk about it and you have power by talking about it to choose something you want to be your destiny

This is the ultimate perversion - to compare him with that pseudo-intellectual delusional guy Peterson

thats the only thought you took from this lecture.

Yes, it’s true, ppl with tics can have trouble with masks. I’m one. Some though actually prefer a mask/say it helps bc it can hide some of their tics. Otherwise this is not related to the topic of this video. Hope you actually learned something from this.

ARE AWE AWARE the COVID is like communism? We all get the disease no matter your class, but poorer people get it worse.

​@@ElectricityTaster 😂👌

oh you are so funny.

do you still think so

@@adk.lokesh lmao bitcoin was turned into the exact epitome of organised, capitalist structure. Just like high frequency trading

guess again.

I study in this faculty. The classroom is awful in every possible way

Sebastian Jimenez Bienen This is a wonderful condensation of what Zizek is saying

Yes. The other part of the speech is that we must be careful not to fall for what appears to be the ideology's opposite but what's really basically its unconscious and goes with it. I think that's the point of the Ciudad Juarez and KKK examples and my impression is that he extends the logic to popular movements and revolutions. It's as if a 3rd term is necessary to leave that polarity.

Yeah yeah Mr.Beamen and it's wonderfully naive by Zizek to demand precisely a change of a mindset which factually is predeterminded by culture through the means of education. The predisposition would be a revolt in every single household. That's why Zizek repeatedly asks for a New Master telling people that they don't need any orientation put up by collective. Precisely THIS will never happen. So, all he's saying : We're LOST

This "retroactive-ness" is much like Einstein, who doggedly gave his physical, mental, spiritual, judaically moral energies to discovering (etc!) a largely inconceivable 4th Dimension. Slavoij 3-4 times referenced "in context" the notion of linear vs. spherical time. He also *enacted* his own internalization of "the spherical": + 1) his uncomfortable resistance to the calls to 'be disciplined' according to the clockwork, linear, arbitrary, received praxis of linear time. 2) There was a genuine joy first on his part (but then mutual#) to be in Portugal, with this very group of revolutionaries, both in a state of fresh hope at a rather new way of "choosing one's battles." Am a US-American. Can I go a little farther? If there is any nation, culture, mentality susceptible to this 4D way of conceiving and practicing change. I had occasion to travel often to your country from a certain main office in Frankfurt, Germany. Here I found and took astonishing joys in something so very different than any to any other country in Europe. (Maybe Ireland comes close.) I found that the Portuguese knew well their many distinctions. And. With a total absence of any vulgar chauvinism you quietely took pride in and celebrated these, to me, somewhat known but never experienced distinctions...perhaps more precisely: privileges(!). I also perceived a completely peaceable drive to "noblesse oblige." The noble ability to remain humble about the "nobility" conferred by geography, historical daring, escape from the mass trauma, where you only have to cross the nearby border with Spain and so it begins! Also Portugal has become a much loved, because also much respected destination. Seems to me it's your time, such a small but immense nation state in this world! You have relatively little that must be changed in Portugal. But you have a credible, pleasant, incisive(!), alternative voice within the E.U. it's like the discreet but not shy friend, relative, neighbor who doesn't talk much. But when she does, everone else stands at attention. Few nations in 2024 have the born-again old age to embark on this kind of nationalism that is free from the desire to colonize or dominate. And you have ready friends and allies. First Iceland then all of the Baltics, including Schleswig-Holstein in Germany. Ireland! Slovenia😅. Brazil!! Etc. How about a tried and true model for the complete decriminalization for the individual user of elsewhere illegal drugs? Do you have any idea how filled our prisons are with offenders for possession of small amounts? And how would you even know about the arrests for even a "detectable" amount of an illegal substance in the bloodstream? The consequences are hardly known to Americans who have not been directly affected. Re-traumatization worse than the first. The seizure of assets that in 2024 spells long-term 'in the hole." Several kinds of social disruption, from which there is no real recovery. === Bravo! And good Fate/Destiny!❤!

Thomas Piketty, who wrote the book "Capital in the 21st century", it caused a lot of discussion some time ago.

Narr, if you are "at it" (up to reading Piketty), check also Yanis Varoufakis's The Global Minotaur as well as Jeremy Rifkin's The Zero Marginal Cost Society: The Internet of Things, The Collaborative Commons and The Eclipse of Capitalism. [and then remember to report back here for what you think! =)]

His book made the New York Times best seller list!!!!!

... and Yanis Varoufakis was just appointed Minister of Finance of Greece two days ago!

His speech is charming, his English is outstanding and with a gorgeous accent, and he is multilingual as most of the world's population. He has vacationed in and loves the poet's country, and that's why he could try to pronounce the poet's name in a "native" manner.

Nosiluminadimenso how boring

What is boring? Zizek? Pessoa? My comment? I find Zizek very engaging, and Pessoa, well, I find Pessoa way too stimulating. Have you read his Book of Disquiet? And yes, definitely, my comment is boring -- but to compensate, my reading suggestion is not, I promise.

É Pessoa CARALHO.

“Alguém que legenda”

Pues yo creo que no, amiguinho.
