Slavoj Zizek: What Does the Future Hold? From the Singularity to Freud, Secret Lives to Wired Brains

See more of Slavoj here: kzbin.info/aero/PLFIigLLitqDlMcyK7zER5I8s9AgGwSPgj

[@pablohowardcello4925]

I find it very interesting that when Slavoj says “that’s a dogma of Hegel’s,” the auto-generated caption reads “that’s a dog mouth giggles” because, to put it in somewhat vulgar terms, and maybe you would agree, our current position should be to reject the idea that if my brain was wired to his I would already know what he meant to say and auto-captions would not be necessary and so on.

[@davidwright8432]

I love the exuberant, surreal quality of Slavoj's flow of ideas! Extremely, and positively, provocative of thought.And (or is it just me?) in the end, he actually makes a lot of sense! Wonderful intellectual stimulation. I'd love to see a discussion - or is that 'discussion'? between him and Kant! Have a few liters of smelling salts around, tho. Poor Kant!

Zizek: Covid you have no life! Covid: 😢

[@lizthor-larsen7618]

This concept of 'the singularity' sounds like a spin off of what small, nascent human social societies/groups once had wrt understanding their common, life affirming interconnections. It is/was a form of what me might now call loving consciousness: an affiliation in isolation. In the far distant past, groups of human beings did live in relative isolation from other groups of humans because of the low numbers of humans. In BC alone, there were once 200 languages. This speaks to a highly developed interconnectedness of individual human families here on the west coast of North America 10 to 20,000 years ago.Today, various groups in "on-line isolation" (ie: Proud Boys, the Qanon maniacs and other Rump cultists) do attempt this sort of 'solidarity' on line, creating a world completely removed from what most of us acknowledge as simple reality. Technical singularity, I suppose, can be seen as that which links various actors on a global scale.The sensitivity of conscousness of early humans is, I think, what this concept of machine based 'singularity' harkens back to. It is difficult to know for sure whether to be terrified or not. Living in terror of those in power in the US has become a given, ever since the explosion of the atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The generation having children then and those of us born then, after "THE BOOM" of those existencial threats to all humankind, have endured it ever since. It is baked into our bones. Mantaining one's sanity and calm is very difficult - hence the ongoing mad rush to drug ourselves into some other, comforting state of consciousnes. Anyway, happy Sunday.

As a thinker, he's a great fan of paradoxes. But everyday life functions based on decisions that slash through the circularity of aporias. I mean, we can reformulate our questions ad infinitum, but a crisis needs responses formulated as unambiguously as possible. Theorizing on the crisis, which he passionately does, is very different from solving the crisis, and not very helpful. Ideology does the job, and China proves it beyond doubt. It creates new problems, all right, but it solves the older ones. I think at the end of the day oversimplifying (ideology) is just as much of a pain as overcomplexifying (dialectical thinking).

"Marx and Engels never used the term "dialectical materialism" in their works". Well, that is a half-truth F. Engels: "Marx and I were pretty well the only people to rescue *conscious* *dialectics* from German idealist philosophy and *apply* *it* *in* *the* *materialist* *conception* *of* *nature* *and* *history* . But a knowledge of mathematics and natural science is essential to a *conception* *of* *nature* which *is* *dialectical* *and* at the same time *materialist* " "... *modern* *materialism* *is* *essentially* *dialectic* , and no longer needs any philosophy standing above the other sciences" "Anti-Dühring", 1877

[@LeonWagg]

You are wrong. Marx and Engels were talking about historical materialism or the materialist conception of history. Dialectical materialism is a term coined by Dietzgen, and it was later popularized by Russian Marxists. Historical materialism and dialectical materialism are radically two different modes of analysis, even if they're based on the materialist approach.

[@timatoppinen]

@@LeonWagg Well, those are just quotes by Engels, from which it is clear that "dialectical" is a main (distinguishing) feature of Marx/Engels materialism. And it is exactly in Anti-Dürhing, where Engels explicitly substitutes adjectives "modern", "dialectical", "non-mechanical" before and after "materialism". "Historical materialism" is basically "a materialist conception of history" (Engels, "Socialism: Utopian and Scientific"), therefore, historical materialism is a materialism applied to the historical knowledge. But when Engels discusses what kind of materialism is applied, he calls it "dialectic" in order to draw the line between the materialism of Marx/Engels and the materialism of the past (contemplative/mechanic/spontaneous/French etc). Marx himself wrote a preface to "Socialism: Utopian and Scientific" in which Engels calls modern materialism "essentialy dialectic" (he repeats his quote from Anti-Dühring) and calls historical materialism "a materialist conception of history".

[@LeonWagg]

You are missing the point. Zizek and I are not saying that Marx and Engels didn't consider the dialectical method as materialistic, but the point is the term itself was not coined by them. The concept and the term were conceptualized after their death.

[@timatoppinen]

@@LeonWagg yes, but the term "dialectical materialism" doesn't pervert the idea of Marx and Engels in any way. This term might be called "historiographic" or kind of anachronistic, but it describes M/E materialism in the way which distinguishes it from all sorts of other materialisms. "Historical materialism" without "dialectical materialism" practically doesn't say anything, as you could apply Aristotelian materialism to historic knowledge and that wouldn't be helpful for the method at all. Of course, you could say "materialism of Marx and Engels", but that wouldn't be helpful (only more confusing) for method as well. That's why we call Ancient materialism "spontaneous", materialism of Feurbach - "contemplative", Marx/Engels materialism - "dialectical" (main feature of their materialism, indicated by Engels himself). There is nothing wrong with it. Also, calling their method simply "dialectical" without its relation to materialism would be way more wrong. "The mystification which dialectic suffers in Hegel's hands, by no means prevents him from being the first to present its general form of working in a comprehensive and conscious manner. With him it is standing on its head. It must be turned right side up again, if you would discover the rational kernel within the mystical shell" - K. Marx, 1873, Capital, Vol. I, Afterword

Nothing to offer the species it’s redundancy unto itself or ‘own worst enemy’ it’s simply unattractive as disgusting stupid nonsense. Hawking had a need for it, nothing more. Toxicity is the wanting of humiliations an UNDERMINING (HOW you know there’s nothing “genius” about it) in which manipulative species dishonours, discredits, assaults its jealousies as inferior. As for “political correctness” it’s only a form of selfish manipulation for control that’s easy to see.
