    Žižek is the top global intellectual of the highest order, an epitomy of human accomplishments not transhumanism technology, great satirist on serious complex issues, aware and enlightened, full of knowledge and wisdom, honest and unaffected, 'cuts through the crap', original and charismatic,
    seeker of the truth, curious and open to new information, incredible clarity and articulation as an ESL,
    natural comic style. Detailed and organized thought cannot be confined by time-limitations, so his
    remarks and references are intended to provide context but appear to some as going on a tangent, and sometimes he does. His books will provide the details. He is a breath of fresh air from the fake 24/7 Corporate Media's News Anchors and their Guests with their superficial politeness of 'Excuse Me' followed by 'You're Welcome' which is repetitive, annoying, time-consuming or their sanitized 'political
    correctness' or their 'weaponized language and moral relativism' to shut down critical thinking. Various
    Ideologies, including political and economic doctrines, have ruled the world since time immemorial and have been used to over-turn Institutions, Establishments and even Civilizations. It's time we, the populace, understand the power of Philosophy and Psychology and not leave it solely in the hands of the Intellectuals. Today, we have global communication and Žižek is giving us this opportunity to understand Who We Are; What We Are Doing; Why We Are Doing It; When We Started On This Path; Where We Are Headed. We will not get this self-knowledge through Corporate-Academics or through their pro​té​gé. Western education, perspective and culture make it doubly difficult to grasp his deeper meanings. He goes beyond Greek Civilization to more ancient ones, condemns the obliteration of eastern contribution and references the Upanishads, among others and this is what has made him a Real Philosopher.

    Although I dont agree with every position he takes on every topic ,I always loved this guy from the first moment I heard him speak.He has a way of arresting a thought pattern and punching one out of their nullified paradigm of public discourse. Fascinating slant on how we approach the term (way of life).

    This is my forth video of watching Prof. Zizek. This guy can talk and makes you want to listen. He seems to be the kinda guy you could have a couple shots with and agree or disagree with; but by the end of the night you would be arm in arm with him singing Slovenian folk songs and exchanging off color jokes. But tell me, why do I feel like stealing second base?

  • Phil Barker
    Phil Barker 4 роки тому +48

    Slavoj has some good insights here. 32:30 - He says there are no "authentic" ways of life; all cultures are just different versions of social conflict. I agree, but what he doesn't explicitly say is that this struggle is intrinsically tied to civilization itself. Maybe this is just implied or assumed, but I think it should be stated: all civilizations have internal conflict, because all civilizations are imperialistic in nature, and they can only exist if there is a massive imbalance of power. There is no such thing as a civilization without oppression. It doesn't matter which region of the world it came from, what language the people speak, what metaphysical beliefs the people have, etc. because the fundamental principle is, wherever people form a society that expands in complexity beyond hunter-gatherers, a hierarchy of material power and authority is established that controls the social dynamics.
    42:57 - He makes a good point. It is foolish and patronizing to assume a different culture is some kind of harmless collection of rituals and traditions. Within each culture, there is a a form of oppression going on, guaranteed. It would be more intelligent to understand this, and recognize that if you want absolute tolerance of other cultures, then you also want absolute tolerance of the oppression within each culture. It is irresponsible to think in such general terms.

    I'm sorry to say, but he did not predict the toilet paper shortage of 2020. The story is simply a testament to the predictability of human behaviour. What is brilliant about the toilet paper story though, is his understanding of the mechanisms that led to the shortage, as well as his ability to package that understanding into such a perfect summary: the danger of beliefs that no one actually believes.

    "Multiculturalism," when encountered in the smallest ways, and in relatively trivial matters, is always rejected.

The fact that ALL the major languages in the Americas except English use cursive and value it means nothing. They are all supposed to buy a keyboard from our tech hegemons. ;) never fails . . .

    I always wonder how he thinks we can change our system... when it drives largely without our vote or input...
    I didn't choose to have a growth based economic system (although I believe capitalism to be superior to socialism, not only in terms of raising quality and innovation, but also in terms of efficiency) We are only allowed to vote on what our governments let us vote on! The world bank will continue to do business, take loans and buy land regardless on my thoughts! African countries will also continue to run debt and keep their people at subsistence level all the while expecting handouts - over bettering their policies and care of their people! Until the world bank is financially penalised for displacement and negative externalises of loans it will continue and ditto for "aid packages" sent by our governments.
    Changing this will likely be impossible. Just as changing our need to perpetually grow on an earth with finite resources... Which in reality is the driver of this whole tragedy!
    Resources and perpetual growth.... on a dying planet.
    Combined with politicians concerned with popularity over policy that will benefit generations to come.

It's like if the ship is sinking, you propose that it's time to invent some new type of boats and learn to fly when the answer is to get in the life boats and row to shore. It would seem the logical answer is to conserve what needs to be conserved, not try unproven, conjectured changes along the lines of idiot writers from the 18th and 19th century propose that have plenty of historical precedence as being wrong and leading to indisputable failure.

    Profesore dragi, pa sa svima ces da zaratis. Ha ha, da vas nema trebalo bi vas izmislit. Neka ste mi zivi i zdravi barem jos sto godina, i iz dekade u dekadu sve ludji i ludji. Samo dalje tako, nemilosrdno u glavu. Bogu I Marxu je dosadilo ovo doba circle-jerkinga, laganja, medjusobnog lizanja i sveopceg kukavicluka. Pun rafal Profesore mili, da oni koji na nogama ostanu mozda i vrijede neku sitnu paru.

    His first comment about Austrian politic is how Austrian foreign minister have dirty surname :-) But it is so true, not only in Slovenian, but also in Croatian/Serbian, Kurz in different declinations of the word can get very nasty meanings.

      CrowsTakingOff Laws of Manu.
      Manusmriti is a Hindu scripture which propagates division of society on the basis of caste.
      One could compare it with Bible. Except instead of ‘dialogues’, it has verses, laws and medieval theocratic philosophy
      It’s a bullshit book, unless you’re interested in theological nonsense.

      You've probably already figured it out but for anyone else reading this, let this open up a discussion.
      Put simply, the point of the joke is to illustrate how ideology is more powerful/desired than the actual "things" that ideology delivers. That humans think and function in paradoxical ways.
      For example - Patriotic Americans take pride in "being 'mericans and having 'merican values." What are those values? Free speech, gun ownership, freedom of religion and so on.
      But ask those patriotic Americans about those values individually or list them without the context of "merican values" then they become less passionate about them. They love 'merican values more than they love freedoms of speech.
      It's a paradox, one of the many that he's talked about in this speech - Pleasure and guilt. Enjoyment and pleasure. Ideology and belief.
