By any chance are you a psych student? ik asking this seems weird

[@unusualpond]

I work in drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Can attest to the perverse pleasure (some) clients take in repeated relapse. Like you say, it feeds into their introjected guilt.

Hello from Berlin - and thanks for your thoughts.

[@kkanden]

Great and intriguing lecture as always! Are you planning on making another series focused on Hegel? I really loved the last series on Hegel and really learned and finally understood a bit of Hegel. I would love to hear you talk about Hegel's view on law and the state and how it relates to Marx' early work. Cheers and keep up the amazing work!

This is nice to know, now I'll derive surplus enjoyment from this knowledge once I go to heaven

Seriously; this IS brilliant! Pervert v neurotic.... very useful framing device. very useful, indeed. thank u. thank u. thank u. This gets straight at it, whatever it may be. per the ideal, the pragmatic, the norm, or the not.

Lacan is pure sophistry.

[@Jack-in-the-country]

I have many, many criticisms of Lacan that I'd be happy to go into, but for now, I'd like you to tell my why Lacan is a sophist.

[@akbar-nr4kc]

hello julain i have question from you is wishful thinking a form perversion? or neurotic

[@zestinii]

does anyone know the precise citation and it's place: Hegel - as soon as you speak, you are doomed

[@ahmedmusa5103]

This sounds similar to avoidant and anxious attachments 🤔

[@chaosmos24]

No church has Hegel's understanding of the crucifixion.

39:52 was definitely too high to hear this at once

Hello there

[@jabrane1564]

most relgious people do not engage theologically with their faith. And if they did they will leave it. The sad reality, most relgious people will state that they beleive in God because of evidence and logical arguments.

[@chaosmos24]

Telling that these discussions always invoke Catholicism and Protestantism, but not Orthodox Christianity.

[@thisiswheezie]

In this sense, the term Catholic includes Catholic-like systems, meaning it also refers to other Apostolic forms of Christianity, like Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy and Church of the East.

[@chaosmos24]

@@thisiswheezie There are relevant theological differences between them though. Zizek's framing of sin is foreign to Orthodoxy.

1.25 speed sounds normal

[@chaosmos24]

Taking Freud seriously today? Might as well use astrology as the basis for your psychological project.

[@chaosmos24]

21:32 The inversion is heretical. Hegel was a hermeticist, not a philosopher. The that his subversion of religious text is simehiw authiritative rather than one idiosyncratic interpretation is bizarre. Hegel/Marx/Lacan is an unholy trinity of bullshit. Incredible that anyone takes a project built on them seriously.

[@ViniViecelli1]

It seems like the only Karl you want is of the Popper kind 😅
