I didn't even start watching the video and what you said kind of gave me a grasp on the idea lol

Zizek the kinda guy who would say "I just hope both teams have fun"

I have watched so many Žižek lectures that I thought I had already comprehended his project. Since I began reading his works, I realize that his lectures are masterful explanations of his writing but to only watch and not read gives less than half of the understanding (to me; perhaps others are better read on the peripheral subjects he discusses. I’m just a plebeian veteran with a culinary degree trying to fix his brain so wtf do I know)

What of his work you recommend for reading? Thanks

8:00 this is how i feel about going to the gym and getting more muscle etc

its Ziz, we know there will be examples!

I just come here for his pronunciation of lacan (lacong)

This was very informative

I like how it ends mid-sniff

Like Marc Maron said THE BEST part of a cocaine high is on the ride to go get more cocaine

Wish the master volume was higher; even maxing out the volume bar it's kinda hard to make out.

ZUR MEHRLUST 7:56 ab 8:30 super Beispiel MEHRLUST (shoppen, Einkäufe zum Auto tragen und vor den Nachbarn verstauen etc.): es geht nicht um den einfachen Genuss, den das Produkt / Event verspricht, sondern um die Erwartung / das Versprechen des [vollen] Genusses; es geht um den Prozess, um die FORM des Konsums (Exzess des Inhalts) und nicht um den positiv zu benennenden Inhalt (auch: Folgen eines Führers, Besuchen eines Events, Heirat etc.); über positiven Gehalt hinaus ist das Leben um diesen rein formalen Exzess (das "Drumherum") zentriert (und davon angetrieben), den Lacan den realen Kern des Lebens (jouissance) nennt; die Erwartung an den vollen Genuss bleibt immer eine Erwartung, aber gerade das niemals voll zu Befriedigende (und somit das Scheitern daran) macht das Begehren begehrenswert (jouissance)

Ty, Von Trier

that would have been a great scene. why would it be too obscene?

I really hope that Wal-Mart shit isn't true. That's some Hot Dog Soup shit af.

Anyone know the title of the book he references at the very beginning?

Could anyone recommend an introductory on his work . I have little philosophy training but have science background

I can't say I've read too extensively about or from Zizek, but I found a book called Zizek And His Contemporaries gave an interesting story of his experience in politics and philosophy which coloured his thinking. The more abstract stuff like the Lacanian and Hegelian facets of his thought would have to come from books like The Sublime Object of Ideology (for the former influence) and The Most Sublime Hysteric (for the latter influence). But it is hard to choose from his range of +50 books.

The puppet and the dwarf is a great book in his short circuit series, also his movies Zizek!, the perverts guide to cinema, and the perverts guide to ideology

Insofar as (he himself would say) he’s written the same book over and over for 30+ years, you’re probably good with getting The Sublime Object of Ideology. That said, you’ll want to have a reasonable understanding of Lacanian psychoanalysis, Adorno/Horkheimer’s take(s) on culture, Althusser’s take on Ideological State Apparatuses etc, Marxian and Hegelian dialectics, and probably just a general understanding of how to read laterally while you’re digesting this work because it’s a goddamn explosion of ideas.

Zeezex me up baby

Don’t you think is funny he is wearing a t-shirt with the UK flag? I think he barely cared lol

7:10 I get what Zizek means from this but isn’t it also the case that the generation of such a slip would be actually be counterproductive to his “ethical duty” later on in the bed. The slip only brings out his musings and makes him embarrassed about this whole thing, which would actually make him too conscious to perform well sexually. The slip then defeats the purpose and therefore its reason to be there (quoted by Zizek) actually does not make a lot of sense.
