Some might say that his thought is kind of blurry but what happens with Zizek is that he is not only pro something and against something, he sees the complexity of every situation and does a great work analyzing it. That's one of the main reasons of his speeches being too chaotic sometimes.

@@adriamasero996 I greatly appreciate nuanced thinking on complex issues, and am also a dialectical thinker who can see the merit of certain points from both sides. Zizek brings up some great points once in a while but he is muddle-headed, lacks coherence, and is unable to achieve a clear view of the whole. His ramblings are mostly scatterbrained and unfocused. I haven't read his books but I wouldn't expect to find clarity there either. And it is clarity and simplicity in argument and speech that is the mark of great minds, even on the complex issues of today. For a better Marxist analysis, see Professor Richard Wolff and his discussions of capitalism, and note the difference in style and approach. Zizek is a charlatan and NATO imperialist, which has nothing to do with socialism.

​@@stevenr8778I agree that "clarity is the courtesy of the philosopher" as the Spanish philosopher Ortega y Gasset used to say, but speaking in a messy way and speaking nonsense are not the same thing. Maybe he speaks some nonsense sometimes (like we all do, in the end a philosopher is not a demigod, a philosopher is a human being). Also Peterson is right when he points at Zizek's charisma and personality being decisive factors that attract people towards him but none of this means that Zizek is stupid or a charlatan. By the way, as I said I'm not his follower but I think that sometimes the most profound and complicated thoughts and points of view are so ineffable that it is too difficult not only to express them clearly but also correctly. Maybe that's why some people like Zizek can seem to be charlatans, also because real charlatans usually like to blurr their speach in order to hide the fact that they do not know what they are talking about. Anyway, It's nice to have this kind of discussion.

Great talk, and pleasant to see Ghost of the 70's Past alongside Zizek.

Is there a virtual component in the leftist support of weapon donations to the Ukraine as they see the death and suffering (which the weapons are causing) as a virtaul reality while secretly fetishising it? 2. What is the role of philosophy in the catastrophies that are happening right now? In a very untypicial fashion Zizek acutally answered them.

I really appreciate those intermittent zoom ins on the host listen to zizek

Zlavo understands the difference between us and I, we don't experience any real pain when tragedy strikes so far from our individual selfs that the event is nothing more than a mental categorization which is compartmentalized stored and the individual carries on with their lives. Until we, and I mean mankind can feel as an organism suffering will always happen to the other, we as a species may show that we care, but not because we physically feel the pain, because the zeitgeist of the time says we as humans should care, so we lend our support, mentally, in the form of the written discourse, or by protesting an action. If this continues to be the dynamic of mankind I really can't see how we find our way forward. I don't have the answer to such a deep question, but hopefully someday someone can find a solution.

59:50 Freddy Mercury has actually made a brilliant comment to elaborate Slavoj's idea which Slavoj himself seemingly didn't pick up. Two men could be using the vagina tubes to have the virtual (technolgy-assisted) sex and enjoy each other sexually even without being homosexual. It perfectly addresses the earlier topic of sex selection and really takes the genetically predefined sex (or socially enforced gender) out of the equation. You can enjoy a person simpathetic to you intelectually to the most extend possible physically - irrespectively of sex/gender compatibility, age, body condition or whatever else.

It's coming.

Peace can only exist in its externalized form during a time of war. Everything that is outside the war inherits an attachment to an externalized inner existential peace, that is to say that the peace is being made to exist by war, which is why philosophy is inherently essential during that period. The most feritle soil in the world soaked in blood nutrients, letting us all grow in ways we never thought possible.

Slavoj Sanchez: Slavoj Zizek and Rick Sanchez from the show "Rick and Morty" share a few similarities, such as their tendency to challenge established norms and to embrace a contrarian or "anti-hero" persona. Here are a few ways in which they are similar: Both are highly intelligent and knowledgeable: Zizek is a renowned philosopher, while Rick is a genius inventor. Both are highly knowledgeable about a wide range of topics, and they use their intelligence to challenge the status quo and to expose the contradictions and hypocrisies of mainstream society. Both are highly critical of society: Zizek and Rick are both highly critical of the mainstream society in which they live. They often point out the flaws and contradictions of social norms and institutions, and they are not afraid to challenge authority or to embrace unconventional ideas. Both are often cynical and sarcastic: Zizek and Rick both have a tendency towards sarcasm and cynicism. They often use humor to expose the absurdity of mainstream society and to challenge established norms and beliefs. Both are prone to excess: Zizek and Rick are both known for their excesses, whether it be drinking or drug use (in the case of Rick) or their excessive intellectualism and tendency to engage in polemics (in the case of Zizek). Both are somewhat controversial figures: Zizek and Rick are both somewhat controversial figures, with some people seeing them as provocative and thought-provoking, while others view them as offensive or inappropriate. Overall, while there are certainly differences between Zizek and Rick, they share some similarities in their intellectual and social critique, as well as in their unconventional and provocative approach to challenging the status quo.
