Zizek: ...and their slogan is: ”we will enable you to find yourself in love without the fall”. But what disappears in this way is the very magic of love. For me, passionate love IS the fall. Interviewer: I'm gonna bring this all the way back to Occupy.

Golden rule with Zizek: always assume that he has his facts wrong.

Did he call her influenced by catholocism?? I don't get what he is saying..

Why did this guy resist so much putting on the earmuffs.

Genuine question - Žižek is a very smart guy. Amazing stand-up comedian and a strong thinker. How can he unironically refer to Freud when he was antiscientific charlatan and it's demonstrated over and over and over. Just read articles like "freud was a fraud a triumph of pseudoscience", the book by Crews, and so on, and so on. The only useful thing Freud has managed to do is to come up with a set of practices so impotent, their continued application forced psychologists into coming up with evidence-based psychotherapy. So he is cognitive behavioural therapy's weird uncle.

Looks like the big awakening didn't happen

Kinder Surprise Egg. A quite astonishing commodity. The surprise of the Kinder Surprise Egg is that this excessive object, the cause of your desire, is here materialized in the guise of an object, a plastic toy which fills in the inner void of the chocolate egg. The whole delicate balance is between these two dimensions. What you bought, the chocolate egg, and the surplus, probably made in some Chinese gulag or whatever, the surplus that you get for free. I don't think that the chocolate frame is here just to send you on a deeper voyage towards the inner treasure, what Plato calls the agalma, which makes you a worthy person, which makes a commodity the desirable commodity. I think it's the other way around. We should aim at the higher goal, the gold in the middle of an object, precisely in order to be able to enjoy the surface. This is what is the anti-metaphysical lesson which is difficult to accept. -Slavoj Žižek

The audio is totally fine. It's out of phase, yes, but listenable. Revisiting this in 2024 is interesting. The "next Trump" he speaks of turned out to be - Trump.

This and a blunt

This clip seems to age worse and worse as time goes on, but we can still hope for kamala to win, and hopefully the republican party will be in shambles because of trump. If that happens, maybe we can have a less safe, more social democrat pick for the democrats in the future. There is still a chance that this was a good prediction, but if trump wins again, democracy might actually be on the line.

Strange how so called atheist if they are surprised or hurt they usually say " my God jesus Christ". True. Subconscious or the soul.

Formally a very anti- transhumanist position.

The first time I saw this I thought it was a parody, or created by AI. Then I thought "oh Zizek is doing an ironic advert for Kinder". And then I realised, alas, he's actually trying to describe commodity fetishism in his own convoluted way. "The poverty of philosophy" and all that.

How insightful. Everything thing he predicted is true, mass surveillance AI models competing for supremacy.

Uber's public, and oftentimes state-supported, campaigns to call for a ride after a long night of drinking, rather than to drive, might be a little helpful in this context of contemporary consumerism. There is now a "responsible drunk", who while he destroys his body and mind, uses capital to avoid to pitfall of an arrest, and thus is able to repeat it as many times as he can afford. Zizek's talk on the subject seems to describe a change in a mode of production rather than ideological criticism of the social changes themselves.

such mad uncle energy

Oh

radical conformism. interesting.

I like how Zizek subtly or not so subtly ascertains Hegel's position as representing love !the four representatives of German idealism). Zizek's loyalry never quavers as it shouldn't.

Loved it

Mother,every wants mother System i agree with mother,meine wahre Schöpferin.But most woman dont understand this true.In nature she is stronger.I dont mean violence,violence is the paradox in popolikan Strategie failed,urgh.

Problem with communists and activists: I love Slavoj Zizek as a guy, but his case for communism basically consists of China (only insofar as it lifted many out of poverty even though it was communism that kept them in poverty until then, and now that that has happened, he admits China is not doing well), and then he waves at general ills of capitalist countries. That’s his entire case that he’s spent his life on. You’ll always find faults in anything, but that approach is the main flaw of the thinking of hardcore activists as well: they proclaim the ills of the system they are against and think it’s a trump card. It’s too easy. Bad, compared to what? You need to posit a plausible system that will have fewer ills. And plausible isn’t even good enough. Again, it’s too easy to say “just imagine the system I propose. It would be better. I won’t provide the details or the proof, but I’m virtuous for standing behind this idea”.

Self improvement is masturbation, now self destruction…

Don't you feel ambarassed smearing your mucus all over your face and your shirts all through your speech in every speech? I hope this is not vulgar!

Slavoz zizek, Are sure that the Catholics so perverse as to intentionally indulge in guilt for enjoyment, or pretend innoscent and make love, to be guilty?

I’m pretty over Zizek. I think Noam Chomsky is right. He’s just a charlatan

"what a terrible wound"

Bekhterev's Collective Reflexology could reveal bystanders on captured flights like United 93 as being collectively concentrated by collective egotism. The situation of listening to Zizek now offer's one the possible dramatic genre needed for Bekhterev's imagination and memory to become involved. A sense of collectivity provides a setting and description supported by physical details like crowds, Soviets, and committees. A psychological tone may detail symbiotic relationships where mushrooms are parasitic to their environment. Bekhterev stands as a partly decomposed corpse in the memory of the world. Zizek is still alive, but we may require a debate between him and the corpse of Russia.

Are belief and desire interrelated?

A master of psychological ironies.

Friend: How are you? Me:

Xd

0:09 I hate life 😄 I can feel his pain.

Zizek is correct Laos, NK, Cambodia, China are efficient at producing stuff. Two one I can think of is maybe Cuba against this rule

Really true😂😢

So there was no critique just the classic socialist class struggle lens through which they see every social problem. I should have known he wasn’t intelligent enough to critique her

1:57:39 Might be a reach, but could anyone translate what Žižek says to Badiou here? I don’t speak French, and I’m just really curious lol
