Both are very influential. Propably they survived so long, because there was always another one presenting them a bottle of milk, which they then emptied.

i have a theory that the people who comment about zizek's tics rather than literally any other part of the video are the same people who talk about how they misheard something in a conversation rather than discuss the topic itself. the negation of contribution is the popular discourse of the internet.
I remember somewhere I read that Slavoj looks like a raccoon that used to live in a dumpster in the back of a library and was transformed into a human by a magical fairy. It is hilarious how every time I see this guy this thought comes back to my mind
once saw a clip where the top comment mentioned how he hits like a 5 point sniffle nose touch combo and now i sorta keep track while I watch him talk it's fun.
It's super unfortunate because it's an important point but at 10:57 he actually meant to say that it's in perversion (not hysteria) that the unconscious is most repressed, according to Freud. He says it correctly in his Oxford address posted on Nov 26, 2024.
Yea, I was very confused after that. Correct me if I'm wrong, but perverts are more repressed because they identify with the imaginary structure of the object instead of what the object actually appears as. Hysterics are less so because they lack identity and are therefore more capable of seeing past just the imaginary structure and potentially seeing the object as it really appears to be.
When he calls him a sweetie pie in the introduction, my heart melted. The highest praise I can give to a stranger is to call them an obvious sweetie head. So it's like I value that trait a lot. And I did not come to watch this video when I saw it suggested to me because I was like oh, I bet there's a high chance if I click this that somebody will call the speaker a sweetie pie. And when that was indeed what happened, it smote my heart. The world needs more of that. Serious rigorous , ntellectual, empathetic activists who could nevertheless best be described as a "sweetie pie." that's the way to help everybody and I'm glad to be witness to this

Was relieved to hear Varoufakis say about Lacan “… who I’ve never managed to understand …” at 9:10 since he sympathizes/agrees with Zizek. If two people as intelligent as Chomsky and Varoufakis say they don’t understand an author, I will never, so no need to try. Also liked how Zizek said he reads secondary literature first.
"Also liked how Zizek said he reads secondary literature first." Like reading the comments on a video first, as I'm doing right now XD Can't tell you how many times I'm unsure as to whether a video might have something interesting to say... look at the comments... nope not gonna bother.
The host understood many things in which Zizek is an expert and it was amazing. So many talks with Zizek have a host who has absolutely no idea what Zizek is an expert on. They flounder as an overeducated communications major or whatever. who's underqualified to host an interview with Zizek. This was much better.
“The host” is a former Greece’s Minister of Finance, an activist who’s now banned by Zoinist Germany, and quite a heavyweight himself especially when it comes to Economics!
Because that host is really not just a host, he's also an excellent economist. I dont agree with everything he says, but he is getting a lot of things right.
as a 62 year old American working woman, I can share that all my organisms start in the mind, so to hear this older man say that his mental organism was, at his age, better than his physical organisms was very relatable.

For those who think that Žižek speaks incoherently and cannot understand what he means. The truth is that philosophy is not easy for those who have not studied it, like other subjects. He does not speak for the general public, he assumes that the listener is aware of the generalities and he is usually making a reference. In addition, the philosopher's job is not to answer questions, but to raise more questions.
Slavoj's problem is, that he speaks much, much, faster than he can think, something that applies to most people in the modern world. While it makes for slow and somewhat laborious conversations, one should never talk faster than you can think, it produces precise & impeccable speech.
speakers whose articles in my reading experience are among the most cogent in contemporary public discourse, not to worry overly regarding their books that I haven't managed to finish, because they speak wonderfully as well
@@grahamorandazzo5090no, they didn’t. Tito took over his nation himself without being installed by either the Soviets nor Americans. This is why Stalin tried to assassinate him for not falling in line like the actual puppet leaders he installed in the rest of eastern Europe and the Americans would never tolerate a socialist puppet government
I think zizek miss spoke, no where is the unconscious more repressed then in a pervert, is what he ment, the hysterics are the good ones tapped into the unconscious questioning all things (big others).
I’ve mentioned this in other Zizek threads, but I’d be curious to see what his thoughts are vis-à-vis Hegel and how Leopold van Ranke’s historicism clashed with the former, since van Ranke to me exhibits a more robust “contingent” historical outlook with a undoubtedly romantic notion of human agency yet strikingly less deterministic than the universal march of the Hegelian spirit.
All this seems very good to me, a meeting between friends and such. But it seems to me that defining oneself as a socialist or communist today seems obscene without first having updated a doctrine that, like so many others, does not stand the test of time. Back then, they first defined vocabulary and processes, today they wander between subjectivities and personalisms. It seems incredible to me to continue dreaming of utopias.
Theres a old video ,not a long piece, featuring Yanis and Slavoz talking . Im so happy to see them together again bc it was that old piece was the reason I really got turned on to them both
I think that was when I first got aware of Varoufakis technofeudalism concept and we were all just waiting for him to write the book about it which wasn't there yet at that point
The background state is of very high complexity. In the present, we're only interacting with a small part of it. Sometimes, it takes a long time to figure out the complexity of the background from our small interactions with it. The present is necessarily contingent, then, due to constraints on our awareness of it. And, we should not overestimate our capacity to make sense of many perspectives with one perspective.
this is a lucid conception, i'd just add that recent work on the implications of bell inequalities (extended wigner's friend, 'local friendliness' constraints, etc) strongly suggest that contingency is ontological, not just epistemological.
@@joshwalker7460 It's funny you say that, I had a similar problem on my mind when I wrote that comment. I was thinking about how to treat quantum measurements as simple thermodynamic systems. Contingency is a necessary feature of both thermodynamics and quantum mechanics, and at the point of measurement there's an interesting symmetry there. It seems to be necessary to assume contingency right from the start, or the process of isolating thermodynamic energy can't be performed. I think the primitive in object recognition is this process of isolation, and the thermodynamic energy associated with it. It's not so clear in quantum mechanics the universe is isolated much at all! There's interdependencies everywhere, by necessity.
@@ywtcc these thoughts are close to my own, i strongly suspect that this line of thinking is fruitful. your last remark made me chuckle; since adolescence i've argued this to my father, a staunch engineer with a pragmatic disposition-- 'where is the evidence that the universe can be considered as a closed system?' this argument has become highly symbolic and seems strangely important. is it possible that there is some useful refinement of our basic concepts here?
I'm pretty sure Zizek mixes up perversion and hysteria, as he meant to say "nowherere is the unconscious more repressed than in perversion" but says "... in hysteria" instead. He says it correctly in his talk at Oxford.
The answer is easy Slavoj, it doesn't need a lecture: we turn them from profit oriented corporations, into mission oriented worker managed collectives. One worker one vote. But I guess there are no short answers for a Lacanian 😅
Slavoj just aims to inspire much more radical thinking - in the broadest sense demolish thought barriers to converge on a new collaborative social relationship
@@joshmcilwain2427 Yes, I think so too. It's propaganda, basically, since there is no movement, so there is nothing much you can do. I was mostly joking though, not trying to lecture Slavoj on communism.
Liberals absolutely "get Trump". Its the right, esp. "conservatives" in America who don't really understand Trump. They think he "says mean things but freedom and stuff". Hopefully they don't learn the hard way just what electing a tyrant means.
Zizek is brilliant. It is only now that it occurred to me what the trump thing is. It is like sitting in a comedy club where half the people get the joke and half not only do not get the joke but are offended. No matter how much you try to explain the joke, the people who don’t get it, will never get it. Janis does not get it. « Trump does not understand postmodernism »…WHAT? Of course he doesn’t. That is not the point, never was. Zizek not only isn’t offended, he understands the joke. Not surprising. Zizek is still Slavic and laughing with the one who can BS the most is a national pastime.
It would be interesting to hear a debate between Zizek and Elitzur (quantum physicist who has very original views on the notion of time and retroaction)
Žižek talking about Left is like the Queen Elizabeth talking about High Performance Programming. The guys is just stupid and takes advantage of his "I'm from Yugoslavia" past. He celebrated every single bombing in the Balkans.
The working class has embraced the digital age, showcasing remarkable technological skills and adaptability. As we navigate the modern job market, it's vital to empower ourselves through continuous learning and growth. Together, we have the opportunity to shape our future and seek representation that aligns with our aspirations. If innovative leaders promise lower taxes and streamlined processes, the working class can unite and make a powerful choice for progress. The rest is talk of forgotten leftists.
I think he turned to the camera like that cos it’s hard to keep Slavoi on his point and the direction of the conversation gets twisted every two minutes 😂
10:00 zizek is my actual prof; he is wrong about this point; the hysteria is the response to the hivemindidioms, the hivemindidioms are not hysterical "dusk of minerva" point. for a critique of zizek, see my work "carrying over the burdens of trace"
Always enjoy hearing from Zizek. Makes me wish I actually knew more about philosophy. However, I would say that Zizek's contrarian discussion of communism vs capitalism as being an exercise in philosophy ignores the fact that capitalism is an economic system first, with philosophic implications, but for all of its flaws, economically it functions, where communism does not. Just saying that the philosophy is fascinating, but it if you're trying to understand the "why's", it won't explain everything.
Please explain how Capitalism works and Communism does not. Unfortunately for you, you have drank the cool-aid and believe the Western Capitalist propaganda. All the foundational technological advances of the past have been built on either communist principles (eg. DARPA = intranet) or individual research (eg. Einstein), neither done for the profit motive. The capitalist, Bourgeoisie and Petty Bourgeoisie, have just exploited those advances to make themselves wealthy at the detriment of the proletariat and Lumpenproletariat.
This is a perfect example of how form prevails over content - how history and sense are made after the fact. The abrupt ending is more meaningful than the schizoid discussion. lol
Varoufakis trying to get Zizek to stay on point is like watching a man wrestling an unruly dog
A large wet dog.
What was the actual critique of Lacan? I got lost.

As zizek once memorable said...
" ja I know I'm only supposed to speak for 4 muinets but you know... well.... fuck you".

Oh no, we get him, we just don’t understand why anybody in their right mind would want him in any position if power
I love the way Yanis turns to the camera at 6:15 like wtf is this dude saying
Maybe you didn’t listen. Yanis is a fanboy, not a slacker commenter.
I think he turned to the camera like that cos it’s hard to keep Slavoi on his point and the direction of the conversation gets twisted every two minutes 😂
10:00 zizek is my actual prof; he is wrong about this point; the hysteria is the response to the hivemindidioms, the hivemindidioms are not hysterical "dusk of minerva" point.
for a critique of zizek, see my work "carrying over the burdens of trace"
Oh yes we do!
You have a mistake in your description, Yugoslavia was never "under Soviet rule".
Omg but Žižek piping his snot in the microphon while Yanis is introducing him 😂😂😂😂😂
If part 2 doesnt come soon I will become a Julius Evolian
Now that this encounter has happened, the universe can end.
where is part two? WHERE IS PART TWO??????
What is the real element in this case ?
Where the heck are you though?
Everyone should check out what Gabriel Rockhill has to say about Zizek
Always enjoy hearing from Zizek. Makes me wish I actually knew more about philosophy. However, I would say that Zizek's contrarian discussion of communism vs capitalism as being an exercise in philosophy ignores the fact that capitalism is an economic system first, with philosophic implications, but for all of its flaws, economically it functions, where communism does not. Just saying that the philosophy is fascinating, but it if you're trying to understand the "why's", it won't explain everything.
Please explain how Capitalism works and Communism does not. Unfortunately for you, you have drank the cool-aid and believe the Western Capitalist propaganda. All the foundational technological advances of the past have been built on either communist principles (eg. DARPA = intranet) or individual research (eg. Einstein), neither done for the profit motive. The capitalist, Bourgeoisie and Petty Bourgeoisie, have just exploited those advances to make themselves wealthy at the detriment of the proletariat and Lumpenproletariat.
We all know by now that Slavoj's rap is acoustically juicy. Please EQ his mic!
2:26 "This country" is which country?
uk
Where's part 2? I'd hate to make a report to the party about this oversight. The politburo doesn't tolerate such inefficiencies, comrade.
Interesting
What is missing in Marx is e did not understand his housekeeper. Can we talk to her and get her point of view on the hole in his soul?
where is part 3 and 4 lol, how did you get this but split it up like this?
Intense!
This is a perfect example of how form prevails over content - how history and sense are made after the fact. The abrupt ending is more meaningful than the schizoid discussion. lol
