Wow 1 hour interview of my favourite philosopher talking about my favourite filmmaker. Thanks for uploading.

If everything is determined arguments still have impact and possible to change others behavior. The sound waves alters the brain and consciousness.

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.

He's not real communist anymore. He's buying expensive brand clothes.

Regarding the illusion of freedom, I like the example he gives in "Slavoj Žižek - Non-authoritarian father". BTW, is it possible that participating in voting, is exactly what keeps the system from real-change. By voting you are a participant in the system, and therefore can' t complain. To keep the masses from rising, you can't have non-voters.. this is why it's mandatory to vote in communist countries.

I love how with the woman's naive question after the 2 hour mark, he takes it completely seriously and tries to genuinely answer and discards the way the moderator tries to get him to shut up. Unholy levels of based.

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

I am free when I listen to you❤

When is it?

lol that they had to switch the camera

When you think your example of smokers to demonstrate jouissance was an original idea, only to find you were always already zizek

Thanks❤

25:00 Zizek describes natural creation of last thursdayism as a result of cognitive dissonance

Timestamps for the video, examples he used to serve the point are in parentheses. 0:08 - Analysis of "Freedom" 9:41 - How Language Creates and Enhances Freedom 13:09 - Paradoxes of Freedom 16:44 - The Apparent Lack of Conscious Freedom 21:14 - History Changed By Ethos (Hamlet, French Revolution) 27:59 - How Symbolic Meaning Creates Freedom (Feminism) 35:07 - "Liberty" versus "Freedom" (Concrete/Abstract Freedom, Addiction, Mandatory Vaccination, Unwritten Rules) *(he said in the beginning that freedom = Hegel's concrete freedom, then contradicts this; he meant liberty = concrete, **43:28**)* 43:33 - Contrasting Examples of "Freedom" -- or Abstract Freedom (War) 47:14 - Capitalist Neo-feudalism Creates False Freedom (the Metaverse, "Precarious Work," Cryptocurrency) 53:22 - Modern Reason Doesn't Cause Change (UN Climate Panel, Obsessional Neurosis, Cynical Reason) 1:02:08 - The Importance of Truth (Charity, Cultures/Immigration, False Peace, Poetry Causes Atrocities) 1:13:22 - Putin's Rhetoric for the Ukrainian War (Ideas of Ilyin & Dugin) 1:21:02 - Ukraine's Rhetoric (Hegemonic Truth, Future of Europe) 1:30:24 - The Need for Global Cooperation (Patriotic Resistance) 1:35:55 - Conclusion 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

the editing repeats certain segments often

14:30 Zizek clearly doesn’t understand how online dating has affected us. What he described is precisely how literally everyone is dating 😅

The music and background noises are so annoying. I just want to listen to the man.

step 1: don't listen to the slobering tankie

Slovenian Socrates 🇬🇷☦️🇬🇷👋Hi

Yeah that type of case in China about older women falling down here in India also soo many cases like that in which a guy helps someone who had an accident but later that guy is culprit of that accident Soo one day when i going back home after i saw a man and his 2-3 year son laying down on road cuz of accident after that place is crowded with people's but only 2 or 3 man took some action about that on that spot one guy asking if someone have car take that man &child to hospital but 2 or 3 guys just passed by in car when asked for helping then when i reached there they also said that to me then I'm little bit afraid also but i just think oh hell if something wrong gonna happen to me like the guy family put charge on me or whatever I just said to myself first just helped that man & child then i took them in my car to hospital but when we reached in hospital the doctor's tell us that they r already dead We already called their family from his phone then his father arrived there then i hand over his phone to his father and come back home then for 2 or 3 days his family called me and asking about what happened then i told them whatever i know They thanks me for taking them to hospital And one thing also when i reach there One guy saying that has anyone called police or ambulance? And One man who is already in police but in formal clothes cuz of he already finished that day duty and coming back home cuz i find that out when we r in hospital that this guy is in police he literally said that police don't do anything we need to take action ourselves and it's true also cuz here if someone had an accident or anything and if u waited for police to come and do something about that this mean u r a fool that either the people's on that spot helps or just on their own Soo long story short even the cops doesn't have faith in police that they will help anybody It's just like that story from yuri gagarin the astronaut when he tells pope that there's no heaven or anything then pope said yeah but don't tell anyone

In India it's already like that on tobacco and smoking packets there is a photo of someone have mouth cancer

Therapist: Well dressed Zizek isn't real, don't be afraid.. . . . Well dressed Zizek:

It is an honor for me to listen to you Slavoj.

To question about freedom it's formally not free a priori. Freedom it's unquestionable. There are formulas to maintain freedom.

Sorry, Zizek, but Ukraine is indeed fighting the fight tor civilization and democracy! You come across almost as a Vatnik, equivocating for Russia and its sometimes dubious internal opposition. Also, I don't think BRICS is going to work somehow, and Russia is no longer going to be a major power but most likely a poor neighbour of India and China with only cheap fossil fuels to sell them. You don't understand or know Ukraine if you think the war isn't for them real, a fight for survival. Ukraine has a huge army of female soldiers, actually and Russia isn't the country of feminism and good family values! The vision of Russia? Really?

A professional communist cannot possibly tell the world about "freedom"...

"Very proud to be here" roughly translating to "scatter me the hell out of here" ...?

1:35:00 He definitely fckd up the last minute of his talk, if only he could see what Israel is doing right now to the Palestinians.

We can all want to be free from the constraints of, say, X, without thereby be committed to Z. You might want A, she B, he C, they D. That is not a mysterious property of freedom. Free from and free to are different, even if ultimately connected.

The whole "Cultural Power" of Putin are Trash grade movies who no one is watching and stupidly weak propaganda on TV that no one believes. Even my grand ma and pa. Although there are some individuals who believe in it. But this is en extreme minority that proves the weakness of propaganda. So the whole radical point that Culture supports war and power structures - and "that's why we should get rid of it" seems to be hollow and unsupported. Besides Culture is what enlighten people through the history, this is how ideas are developing - humanism, critique of power structures, compassion are products of it too. But it have its gore bio-products as any system. Also "The Knowledge" is universal and available for everyone (except when it is monetized) and open for a reasonable critique. And "The Truth" are loud opinions that are correct only because everyone says the same thing over and over again - and if you are want to critique it with logic and reason, well, good luck, no one wants to listen because it is already "The Truth". This is how "Corporate Neo-Feudalism" is actually works. The lecture and format are very nice though. I watched whole video with pleasure. Thanks for posting. Also

11:23 Slavoy talks about British film theorist Richard Molbie(?) and his article on Casablanca. I struggle to find it, can anyone help?

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

ab32:40 45:40 Pornographie: vermutlich das am stärksten kontrolliertes und mit Verboten ausgestattetes Genre 1:05:30 Liebe/Sex heutzutage 1:13:00 Gesamt-message bis hierhin 1:18:55 menschliche Sexualität wird verschwinden in der heutigen Form 1:31:30 Bsp. mit der Sowjet-Ideologie und dem Ernstnehmen der Wahlergebnisse soll notwendigen Zynismus innerhalb jeder Ideologie zeigen, sodass diese notwendig sich selbst übertreten, mit sich selbst inkonsistent sein muss, sie musst Distanz halten, um bestehen zu können und nicht zu ernst mit den eigene ungeschriebenen Normen und Konventionen umgehen darf (sonst zu konsistent)

The fact that you said you doubt that you are one of the great minds made me admire you more and respect you more. Amazing challenge a lot of my naïve views about the world. Thank you.

why is Slavoj in such weird guerilla videos and not just "School Name, Place Name" RUclips - lecture. Simply! haha

Great vid

I am a philosopher from **checks notes** Slovenia

"Freedom is a word that nourishes the human dream, that there is no one who can explain it and no one who doesn't understand it" --- Cecília Meireles. ruclips.net/video/h30BO_6kFNM/видео.html

Why is the audio copied and repeated all the way through? Maybe there’s some aim, but I don’t find it helpful, just annoying.

This is what Idealism does to a man

Thank you Slavoj for analysis and summary.

I'm always fairly confused as to why he refers to himself as a communist or a radical leftists instead of a petit bourgeoisie mental masturbater with an affinity for socialist thought. He never talks about class structure which is the elephant in the room.

29:30 Jesus, the Kitty Genovese story isn't true, people did contact the police but the police made up that story that noone did to cause drama as a justification to go into the neighborhood, mess with the residents and as far as I remember eventually level it to build new developments. Look it up. It's a myth

Zizek finally speaks before the UN

This must be a 2012 talk! Slavoj refers to The Act of Killing presentation in Toronto,

Great lecture, entertaining as ever and interesting to see it in a time in which we are now.... not the best camera work😅 Aaaand ofcourse Zizek is rambling as always but I could have listened to him answering questions for 10 more hours. Still, in the questions asked there was an interesting spectrum of informed over inquisitive up to naive. Ofcourse Zizek is too charming to say it out loud but the last lady questioning certainly has her heart in the right place but god damn was that last line of questioning stupid. Zizek (admittedly in a very "all over the place" way) talks about a global ideological trend or whatever you want to call it and her question is basically "how about hippie communes that globally band together and make monetary value unnecessary".... dude some tried it in the 60s and 70s and it works out if you're a small idealistic group of young people... for a certain time... but looking at history as a whole and the human condition(and as Zizek loves to do: sexuality) there is no way whatsoever people will suddenly band together and say :" okay we'll only produce what we all need on a basic level and have peace" it will NEVER happen. It's the dream of a 16 year old. It doesn't even work in a smal village of like 2000 people. Human psychology prevents it on the most basic level. The "Ideengeschichte" and the history of human society as a whole makes it abundantly clear that "owning something" and "not owning something" and "taking what I (or my group) want(s)" is hardwired into our being. It doesn't even work in core families often, that everyone just get's what they need. It's a dream of paradise and paradise is an idea that precisely developed because there was always struggle and strife. Wish we could have had some more questions and espescially less childish ones than the last.

Finally a Zizek talk with new jokes (surprised about the absence of certain classic zizek jokes in the second half). Also, really fascinating that he’s talking about the “The Act of Killing,” although I think the documentary warrants more analysis. Zizek is also quite direct in this one (he’s generally behind some walls of metaphor - the jokes, the cinema, etc). Loved it. You’re doing great work.
