"My name is Slavoj Žižek  im a philosopher from - " checks notes " - Slovenia."

He's so well dressed it's scary to see him like this

Probably the clearest and most focused hour plus Zizek talk I’ve ever experienced.

uninterrupted one and half hour of pure zizek .. thanks for posting

The coffee and cream paradox reminds me of atheism and the often-asked question, "Well, what do you believe in?" People assume the cream needs to be replaced. It's life without cream, and it's preferred.

There can never be an AI version of Slavoj, thankfully.

I feel like these better indicate the meaning and coherence of his thoughts, rather than the headings that were given. Hopefully you find this useful to guide yourself and use to reflect on his thoughts

My name is Slavoj Žižek. I am a philosopher from Slovenia.

You are indeed one of the great minds I have the pleasure to listen to in my lifetime. Being from Brazil, where the fascism and evangelical fundamentalism are at their heights, giving power and voice to those who were hidden in the "swage," it is  revigorating to let you in my house to awake my mind through your videos. Thank you for existing.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Gigantic thinker at his best, which means no "extra" ticks, or parentheses inside parentheses; just central arguments. The Koreans probably paid well and demanded that.

oh my god, you ripped this from Great Minds! Thank you so much comrade, been looking for it for a while!

There's so much information I want to absorb, I'm going to be watching this in parts. Just stopped at 33:33, holy shit this is amazing

Unfortunately the Zhou En Lai quote about the French revolution was an error as Zhou thought they were referring to the riots going on in France at the time.

Its so easy when grace is cascading

it took me almost a year to read less than nothing. it was one of the most rewarding endeavours of my life. i cant wait to retroactively decide to reread it and possible understand half of it lol

luckily free will doesnt exist so we are all free

The composer Shostakovich made semantic games with the Soviet authorities with his music.

Radically entertaining, especially those edits and sounds, and so on and so on

Ah, everyone is born free yet everywhere people are in chains.
And so on and so on.

Thank you for disorienting me and thank you for when you do in the future... Maestro.

Thank you for this comrade!
