Thanks for explaining it

'We always play being ourselves.' Love that.

Wish he would have elaborated on the idea of explosive anger as performance, because that particularly resonated with me. I am known by pretty much everyone as being a very laid back, patient person who rarely ever gets angry or argues with anyone. So when I get angry and have an outburst like that, it's significant enough that I pay attention to my feelings and to myself as I am doing it. And it really is like a performance, with the object of getting the other person to understand how strongly I feel about something. When the other person simply doesn't get how big a deal something is to us, we have to demonstrate it. And we do this by having our little outburst, and crying and screaming. But it's not this spontaneous act of true expression, as he was saying, it's actually a carefully orchestrated act of performance. At least, that's what I think he was saying and I really like this idea.

I had a girlfriend, the first young lady I ever lived with, who's top "canine" teeth were pushed forward with the rest pushing in behind them. This gave her a sort of fang look when she smiled that was so beautiful, and was just perfect for her face, somehow. We parted as many young lovers do, and, though a civil break, we lost touch with each other. Then, some twenty plus years later, I chanced upon a mutual friend from back then who had her number. We talked for a month or so, and eventually met up again while she was in town for family stuff. As it turns out, she had always hated her teeth that way and had gotten them fixed. Still beautiful, smart and funny, I still found myself wondering where the white hot spark had gone, realizing at last it was this "flaw" which had so endeared me to her in the first place, at least physically.

@gabidois

Жыл бұрын

I can't help but wonder...had you ever mentioned to her that you liked her teeth? My girlfriend has one of her canines that's not aligned with the other teeth and, like you, I find it endearing and I think it fits her face. However, she's had an orthodontist tell her, when she was younger, that if she didn't fix it she'd never find a husband (lol) and a job (wtf???). In her case, she just dismissed her opinion and refused to change it, since it was purely for appearances and didn't have any impact on her tooth's health. Your friend probably had to endure similar comments all her life. If she's happier now, then good for her, but these comments shouldn't have happened to begin with :/

So basically he's referring to the simple acknowledgement from both people in a dating scenario of the repressed sexual aspects of our subconscious functioning. And once we have this out of the way, once we have acknowledged a large part of what goes on in the background of our minds, once we realise and express that we're both infact pretty fucking similar in the way that we are all repressed sex seeking lunatics, we can go on with everything else so much easier. It's like showing our cards to the other person, with the condition that the other person does the same. "I see you and you see me".

I agree with this man very much on the expansive part I’m come from an extremely violent home, i have been in therapy for a long time to understand how to regulate my emotions, I clearly remember the day my psychiatrist said to me, it’s not far but it’s fact we must simply not explode 🤯, Society doesn’t allow this behaviour and the psychological consequences from the pressure of society to conform to the social norm of expression of aggression, will do more damage to you in the long run, so you must not have ppl around that cause you to explode and you must face all trauma

I like the last part very much. It's like this corruption we all carry around with us, you can't get rid of it, if you try you (will) fail. The solution is to accept it as a natural part of ourselves and give it a time and space to express itself. As Slavoj said "pay tribute", and then be free of it's influence for some time.

my own personal take from this video: planning to undergo a rhinoplasty because my nose shape is big and quite unique. listening to what he said he is right that its good to have an imperfection about you to constantly keep people guessing in a relationship. There has come a point in my life now that dealing with this nose has felt like sitting on a chair of nails my entire life and i want to have a nice chair built for me that i can relax in and enjoy a well earned break i think. Ive already decided im not going to spend my entire life pleasing other people and am going to have to take this decision as it comes for better or for worse. thanks for reading :)

I absolutely love this. More guys on Grindr should watch it. (N.B. I had already envisioned the scenario he describes in his oddly liberating, dystopian "joke", as the future of sex. You should hear Zizek on how viagra disempowered the phallus...).

I really like this guy, his theories are interesting he has a lot of energy, uses his hands really much to really get you involved in the discussion. Just great.

Really?

I think the urge to touch his nose comes up whenever Slavoj has an interesting thought to share, though.

This is so wonderfully weird and profound. I keep coming up with interpretations for his message here, specially at that end part. So simply put and yet… scary accurate about today standards and expectations. Brilliant in the highest of ways

It's the duty of a good philosopher to be entertaining while he or she passes the ideas to us; effortlessly. I tip my hat.

This guy enlightened me to so many things that ive never realized before

Fascinating. He expresses very interesting concepts!

I'm always in awe with the balls of this man, that's some honesty.

When the hands leave the nose a great point is being made. Love this man.

I would love to smoke a joint before meeting him and ask just one question and then just listen to him answer it with my mouth open.

I very much agree with this thing about imperfection of someone you love. For example I have some physical disabilities and limitations due to illness, and I could never be in love with someone who is in my view physically perfect. I like people who also have health problems. Not that i want them to have health issues just for that.

this video is gold! how come nobody's pointing out how funny he is? that's the best thing about the guy

Bang on Zizek! ON THE IDEAL ROMANCE/SEX TODAY: You have given voice to my own set of issues which I couldn't understand so clearly, till now.

i like the perfect / imperfect analogy.. its like baroque art during the later renascence period. a baroque pearl is an imperfect pearl, but just as desirable, if not more desirable than its perfect counterpart.

His stuff is great but I wonder if Zizek could sit through a 20 min meditation class without fidgeting.

Psychology tells us that we are always in a role: we speak and behave as we think is consistent with our role in the present company. Only when we totally lose control when we are taken by surprise and we get mad. Then, we're not in a role, but one couldn't call that our true self either. But that moment is the most honest reflection of who we are.

Woah words of art! Beautiful!

Literally everytime I listen to Zizek my mind gets blown

Haha, it's true! just let the sex devices do their thing, and then don't even worry about what your partner is thinking, the superficial tension is gone through the stupidity of that technology. Relationship dialectics!

love this guy

You remind me of a friend of mine. Conversations are the best.

i like this quote the most at 8:10. i'll live by it for life

I learned one thing from this guy, THAT there is no limit to deciphering the human brain into simple conceptions, and the more he does it, the less fun it becomes being human.

Imperfection is vulnerability. we fall in love with vulnerability, which displays our true fragile selves to the Other

his passion makes me have goosebumps

he is very talented man, seeing his thought flow like a reading freuds papers, smash on, slap on and thats all going around on it, the excitemet level was enourmous.

Hahahahahaha you are soooooooooo funny a true philosopher!!! The most productive I ever felt was when my bf's loved me for who I am as I am with all my weirdness. When I am involved with someone I dont feel comfortable with because they dont care to get to know the real me, I feel emotionally distant from them. Some men demands perfection but they dont have perfection to offer. I think what professor Slavoj-Zzek said about paying tribute to a perverse superego in order to maintain civility it makes sense to me. If someone hurts me I am very expressive of my pain but after I express how I feel I dont feel angry or hurt anymore. Look at people who go around shooting/stabbing or drive a truck into mass gatherings like in Nice France. Had they been able to express their frustrations and pain perhaps they would not act with the intent of destruction and murder. I think expressing anger pain and sadness it is very healthy.

I see this idea in practice with alternative/metal music community. Despite all the violence and aggression in music and during moshpits metalheads turn out to be really nice and kind people.
