I can't believe i just watched a Zizek clip without a single nervous tick in it. He looks great.

[@axetusonderbar7654]

My thoughts exactly. Either he got them later in life or suppressed them back than and now doesn't care anymore. Or they were cut out or something

[@punchgod]

I think he began to enjoy his symptom

[@JulianMartinez-jt6pl]

he does have one at the begining

[@user-qq5be5fd6s]

You are saying that like if he just recovered

[@ayushawasthi1690]

Have to say , he has stuck to his 3 projects he mentioned to this day

[@UditDey]

its interesting how seems like right from the start he already had his identity and what his field of works are, and has remained consistent since

[@dreamoffalling8068]

It's so cool to see that! Zizek's voice sounds similarly to how it sounds now. It's nice to see him from a professional perspective too.

00:51 tex_ž_ž Sooo satisfying 😌

[@TheDangerousMaybe]

This is awesome! Thanks for it! Žižek & So On FOREVER!!!!!

[@lostsoul2184]

Just imagine a conversation between slavoj and Roberto benini

[@antonioangelo4492]

Who? I hope you didn't refer to Roberto Benigni

[@menoutube]

So cool!!

[@samuelallen8945]

awesome

[@anameyoucantremember]

Ah, Zizek from the time he didn't need to stop his nose from running away

[@GabrielConstantinides]

the one person I like more than Zizek is his mother

[@Vifnis]

japanese subs add that level of funny to this

[@jjreddick377]

Zizek needs to watch and review the film Beau is Afraid

[@liamlenihan1328]

So, he once was pretty concise

[@lostsoul2184]

Would love to hear his thoughts on Marshall mcluhan and neil postman

[@punchgod]

Sometimes I like to use chat gpt for zizekian critiques of other thinkers he’s not yet mentioned. It can be surface level and not very sophisticated but it’s a bit of fun

[@Ndo01]

The sweat is oddly endearing.

[@user-mr8xo6hk4c]

So where can I find the original interview

[@lostsoul2184]

Been throwing golf balls into the water for the apostles since back when

[@Vifnis]

haha

[@guteksan]

Comparatively, his speaking abilities have degraded since then. In this video, he could make a coherent statement about his work. Now, all his monologues are complete disorder. He starts one sentence, breaks it in the middle to give some far-fetched examples, then breaks the examples to give some anecdotes, then starts talking about sth. else. He uses big words, and is a character, but in the end you end up wondering: "what is actually his viewpoint?"

[@Kitajima2]

I'm pretty sure he had a stroke. Edit: From cursory research, some people think it's Bell's palsy, while others say that Zizek himself says he had a stroke a few years back. Can't find actual video of him saying that, and my attention won't allow me to look into this further lol

[@guteksan]

@@Kitajima2 I always thought that stroke affects speech "technically", so the speech may be mumbled, impaired, but not the intelligence of the speaker or their "non-technical" communication skills.

[@jjreddick377]

You can tell he was trained in France

[@raginbakin1430]

Why, just because he does research on Lacan?
