It's simple power = voltage x current

As a retired electronics engineer, I can only wish that the world as logical as the humble electron. ;)

@@dalilou lol. To be honest I agree. ;) I may have taken the analogy a little too far. But I find the logic of electronics...comforting.

lol [yet that is only an external model applied after the "fact"] u made your executive choice about what it "means" to you[and comedy a la electric flow be it] But this, too, eludes a fixed ontological arrangement. Who wrote it this way first? Point still goes to J. You are fun, tho

What an excellent summation of the 4 discourses! Can't believe you did it in 11 minutes!

I like how when you see an analyst (or teacher or doctor maybe), you invest them with this perverse authority, which their ethic does not allow them to assume (no countertransference!). And without a professional self-policing, people really are at the mercy of their therapists

@letdaseinlive 6 ай бұрын

I never did that. This is like an explanation of how dumb people are. Sure, they are the arrogant majority. I just judge by what people are. Zizek and Lacan are dumb and focus on their own powerful dumbness without a breath for intelligence.

@txikitofandango 6 ай бұрын

So paradoxically capitalism produces the conditions for psychoanalysis, but the practitioners must assume an earlier guild ethic, or maybe they can sublate their position somehow. Sorry for all the jargon

@txikitofandango Einstein said the only person should trust enough to be open with is your Dr. I'd put teachers, poltical class and police and other authority roles under that of a Dr.

u like that, huh? Not sure you are getting value as much as a bounce board for convoluted and melted versions of interpreted mirror images from these otherwise put and elegant, always, presentations. But nice typical internet knowitall gibberish phrasing. I 'like' that....

Would you ever consider covering the topological/chiasmic variations of the four discourses as described by Žižek and Lacan? It would be a wonderful supplement for this video imo!

I wouldn’t call what the scientist does “power”. They’re not inventing some mystical discourse about there being a higher truth that only they can read, in order to grab power. For one, science actually does work: Hence, we have medicine and satellites, etc. Also, scientists are very open about their methods and allow anyone to check. Or am I missing the point? Would genuinely appreciate it if I’m getting it wrong and someone could clarify

Is the object of desire also an empty signifier like the master signifier?

Made me think of so much: "kenosis"- the self-emptying of Jesus.... of Mindfulness practices which encourage the development of a "non-judgmental observer" within ...., of the slightly dissociative feeling that comes with taking any action at all.. (St Augustine: "to act is to sin") , the comfort of being an academic "know-it all" with no skin in the game.

The selfish individuals are blind to the shadow requiring the selfless individuals to cooperate in seeing.. The jedi or ring wraiths often end up siding with the shadow against said selfish individuals

If Trump is the obscene master what does that make Putin? What happens when the obscene master wallows in hysteria to escape responsibility for failed decisions? Is that what makes the obscene master obscene?

What would happen if an unprecedented trend caught on of people wondering what is actually true? 🤔🤔🤔 lol j/k
