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.
do you think then any type of organisation could reduce to a minimum these oppressions then? it seems it is desirable to move towards minimising them rather than expanding and exacerbating them
I like the way Zizek puts it, but its nothing new tbh. Its been called the paradox of tolerance, and its been around since Popper wrote the Open society and its Enemies in 1945.
Zizek: I'm sick of telling my usual stupid jokes. Today I will be serious about this subject matter. Zizek: *Proceeds to tell a joke about two Jewish guys.* He just can't help himself haha.
god knows whit what mental predisposition people already come , watching guys speak, you will never know what will these people take out from his talks.
56:05 Oh, I do think I've heard this one before, Zizek! Damn lol, 3 years prior to the event, he basically just describes the toilet paper 'shortage crisis' that occurred in the U.S., Australia, etc., sparked by Covid-19 and hysterical social logic.
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 protégé. 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.
I really appreciate this guys voice. Especially about what's going on and what action to take. Something that, to me looked like an example of an action for change happened recently with the kid in Canada who let Walmart know he quit and why over the store intercom. I dunno... Strength n Love
but they are so hard to read. It seems like I need a strong background in Marx, Hegel, Freud, Kant, and Lacan in order to get the main points of what he is writing about.
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.
I think when he was a kid his Dad played "I'm going to steal your nose" game and mentally scared his child. Now he has to check every minute to make sure its still there.
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.
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?
His critique of the French 2017 election is almost spot on, only difference is we got a second turn of the establishment embodied so Marine Lepen is gonna pass in 2027 instead
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.
@@RaymondtheHon Good question. It was a more 'personal' talk here on youtube where he said his anecdote about the woman whose lover said she should lose 'three or four pounds' was actually his wife.
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.
I have to tell you a story, sorry if some of you probably know it. Once my good American friend told me about Zizek, but I said f**k you I don't have time for this stuff. Then later another good friend of mine from Croatia recommended Zizek to me, and I almost watched one of his videos. But when an old German friend told me the same, I finally started to watch it, and so on and so on.
Your story is... traditional European supremacy? Write off Americans, write the Eastern bloc off slightly less, and pay attention when one of the members of the country who imagined the Holocaust suggests it? What a fantastic story.
This only becomes the case had you previously believed, the hopelessness of lack of god is only there if u had believed in god, and indeed the so called truly good thing is to believe in the good despite there being no reason

As Astra illicited this discussion in me- both sides of the coin of belief- and I think that by the end- Brad Pitt adopted the Chevovian, Christian Atheist ontology.
I don't care if he's right, left or upside down. I have 1 course in introductory philosophy and hated it, but I find him fascinating and extremely compelling. He's even gotten me to read some Hegel. I just really enjoy him.
I don't have time to tell you the worst story of pleasure. You know the one about Goebbels where he says blah, blah blah blah blah. Too bad I don't have time to tell it, lololol.
Could someone leave me the name of the book he refered to when he's talking about belief with no believers? Having some trouble hearing the author and finding the book... Thank you in advance!

As long as it is truly both. The centrists will always sell out the latter while trying to push the former as a consolation. That's what actually happens.
Is the judge saying it was the involuntary manslaughter or homicidal sexual assault? It has to do with lack of consent. You tell people you don’t have cream, only milk, even if they don’t want cream, they now know if they change their minds... they now know what they are getting themselves into. What kind of a coffee shop doesn’t have cream? There are a few... find out?
Ends his speech by saying, "thank you very much and I'm sorry".. Zizek is the best!
It's half of the Hawaiian prayer
Ho'oponopono
Zizek: "I don't have time to bring this other example."
Also Zizek: *brings this other example*
Zizek: "I will not bore you with the other stories I always tell."
Also Zizek: *bores us with the other stories he always tells*
I think that’s called apophasis-when you say something by denying that you’re going to say it. Like, “I wouldn’t want to let you down by telling you that this is the most disappointing dinner you’ve ever made for us”
His command of the English language at this level is incredible ,,,, .His view of modern society is even greater,
I find Slavoj Zizek so inspiring. Wish there was a fan page somewhere. I also like the intelligent comments his lectures attract.

To be fair he is quoting Freud telling the joke so it technically qualifies as serious scholarly work
You just didn't know that when you start telling jokes, you're supposed to start with Orwell.
