- This bonus episode features audio from the Holberg Debate (www.uib.no/en/udir/131536/201...) in Bergen, Norway between Tyler and Slavoj Žižek held on December 7, 2019. They discuss the reasons Slavoj (still) considers himself a Communist, why he calls The Handmaid’s Tale “nostalgia for the present,” what he likes about Greta Thunberg, what Marx got right about the commodification of beliefs, his concerns about ecology and surveillance in communist states like China today, the reasons academia should maintain its ‘useless character,’ his beginnings as a Heideggerian, why he is distrustful of liberal optimism, the “Fukuyama dilemma” we face, the importance of “empty manners,” and more.

I could listen to Slavoj all day, what a compelling and intelligent guy.
I've no idea how someone can read half of Zizek's work and not get his stance on Communism and Capitalism/Democracy.
Oh, Tyler Cowen. Asking the same "gotcha," predictable question over, and over again.
Slavoj answered it clearly, multiple times, and he still doesn't get it. How annoying.
This *Tyler, the Debator* guy is really obnoxious.
Tyler Cowen ignores what Zizek politely tells him, that he prefers communism over fascism. I wonder if Mr. Cowen ever even stopped to think that Zizek may not see his "freedom capitalism" as being so very free. No, ofcourse not.
zizek is very polite...
'You have nothing to lose but your nostalgic pickles' 😅
I've learned so much from Žižek, But it always remained unclear to me why he persistently avoids Nietzsche (although he constantly mentions Hegel Marx and even Engels from that times...) I also find it interesting what he thinks about Wittgenstein. He often refers to the Holocaust, but never mentions the Armenian genocide, Holodomor in Ukraine or the pogroms of Jews in Eastern Europe before fascism. And so on and so on...
What the hell Mr. Tyles has against Prokofiev, Shostakovich and Aram Khachaturian???
22:11 guy is Stafford Beer
1.5 billion people! Why can't we all live in Luxembourg.
God, attacking him over an aesthetic humour, that's it, that is humour might be 'bad', it's bad as in that this guy didn't think any of the humour were jokes.
annoying host
I thought it was a new episode.
k but a tree plantation is not a forest
painful stuff...
Not a communist even in his words, but a court jester for the established order.
NOW THAT I'VE JUST READ THE TITLE, I'M SURE IT IS A RESULT TOO OF COWLEN'S PRETENTIOUSNESS
46:45
Zizek: "Why do you call it right wing humor, it's the humor of my youth my God!"
Cowen: "Yes thank you."
My God indeed
Why does the host not understand even a single point zizek makes and simply replies with irrelevant to what zizek said rhetoric abt communism that you hear from conservative folks? The host doesnt even understand the radical nature of zizeks views on feminism and gendar.
It seems like the host clearly isnt well read on the topics of his questions. I dont even think he is intellectually dishonest,just not well read enough.
What a rude interviewer
TAWAIN IS JUST A WORD WHICH DISTINGUISHES CHINESE PEOPLE WHO THINK DIFFERENTLY; CHINA AND TAWAIN ARE CHINA.
Han Chinese? Or another sort of Chinese?
