    Why is the playlist running backwards? It starts at 8/8 and works its way down, really annoying with autoplay on, keeps going to the 'beginning' which is really the last video in the sequence. Look into it.

    @Budzilla24 Honestly, most playlists I view are out of order, for some reason.

    00:10 - 00:16: Nothing is more oppressive and regulated than being a simple hedonist.

    It seems to me that simple as a some kind of policity or a moral view is more violated by the society from the simplicity itself. For example in a community it is like an unspoken rule to think that simple life is to work a ordinary job, to have a wife, to have childrens, not doing crimes an so on so on....... But this "simple life" as you can see is regulated by the people itself and form that point it is not a simple anymore but some kind of an ideology

    You can beleve in anything you want. Just don't use it as a criteria for some "universal truth" and impose it on others. My grandson believes in Santa Claus too. Nothing wrong with that... It scares me this idea of " entire life dedicated to serving Christ". What do you mean by that?

    it shpuld scare. because the stakes are extremely high. just like getting married should scare you. or graduating. or your first job interview. that doesn't mean it isn't a good thing, it just means that you have an idea of its importance.

    Of course you are free to say whatever you like, sir. I did not mean to insult you. I just made a reasonable remark an posed a question which I suspect will remain unanswered. I don't know what STFU means but , given the tone of your reply, probably something nasty. Religious people (whether they are christian, muslims or what have you) scare me and I have no interest whatsoever in engaging in any form of discussion with you. I am sorry. (& goodbye)

    Well said. He is also using freak incidents and fiction to generalize Christianity. But what do you expect from someone who thinks solely in terms of a collective body of humanity? This is of course an exercise in rhetoric, not logic, so of course he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

    Being a successful hedonist (just as with anything else) requires hard work. Fitness and gym are just the individual required steps toward a bigger objective - a successful sexual and social life, for example; a small, necessary sacrifice for a much greater indulgence. Bigger aims require bigger sacrifice. Calling that self-imposed oppression equals naming all the strain and hard practice that a top sportsman "bestows upon himself" self-oppression.

    The title is nonsensical and so is the content. It is designed to provoke and to make philosophy seem ridiculous.

    Incoherent and deeply illogical stuff packed in intellectual-sounding, showy rhetoric from Zizek, as usual.
