You know, the older I get, and the more of the world I see, the more I agree with this Slavic comrade.

His talks at universities are the best... He goes into more depth, develops his arguments more, gives more ecamples... I wish he would do tgat in media interviews too

As a Buddhist, I have to agree with Zizek on the Gita. I was horrified when I first read that passage he quotes as a child, and as an adult I have to say we should still be horrified. It is ultimately a justification for the kshatriya warrior caste’s existence. Buddha’s spiritual revolution was to deny this- deny caste, deny violence, and preach the practice of ahimsa. Any later adoption of this by Hindu philosophy is just that, an adoption

The knot with Zizek is that you never really know how to evaluate any of his works. The dialectical serpent behind his train of thoughts is always elusive. You never know, for example, when the "hardline communist" interpretation of Antigone would be his favorite one. You never know what subtle twist he's gonna perform to his topics. In other words, Zizek and his elusive dialectical serpect amount to something akin to Derrida's style: "oh, you didn't quite understand me here! Let me tell you what you've missed!". Even after 12 years of studying him, I'm still not able to predict his readings (apart from the more obvious "it's the opposite/quite on the contrary" moments).

Guy stands up and makes a speech. God I hate that about these type of events.

I am never as proud to be Slovenian as i am when i hear Žižek speak. Its witty, smart, direct, funny, deep, profound, understandable, relevant and true. If only he didnt touch his nose 10 000 in 2 hours i might even have considered to build a shrine and pray for his health. Long live the Caesar Žižek ! Long live the truth seekers all around the world !

what many hosts don’t understand is that best Zizek talks are ones where it’s mainly him speaking without any disturbances. outstanding host, many thanks 🙏
