Ironically Zizeks strategy of writing is the same strategy i use while reading. I trick myself into "just reading certain parts which are important", then i fill in the gaps by "reading the parts which are less important so i can understand the important parts" i never read his work from cover to cover xD.
the internet is full of cheap trinkets littered over swampy ground,they`re seductive momentarily but you can lose hours if your not a little disciplined.zizek certainly rivets you,shakes all those nasty trinkets off and electrifies.bracing stuff and my compass shows true north , i am awake again.
"My eternal fear is that if for a brief moment I stop talking. You know, the whole spectacular appearance would disintegrate. People would think there is nobody and nothing there. This is my fear - as if I am nothing who pretends all the time to be somebody and has to be hyperactive all the time just to fascinate people enough so that they don't notice that there is nothing."
IF ONE HAS DECENT EUROPEAN EDUCATION IN SCIENCES AND POLITICAL HISTORYETC AND because USA teaches no History or Science! Dumming down of America= Corporate education says; Workers not thinkers. SO IF YOU ARE educated OUTSIDE OF USA, your a Genius AMONG IDIOTS!
@Theknopf If an American, like myself, however, realizes this lack of educational advancement in the US and seeks to educate himself (like I do), you can still someday become truly educated. It begins with this realization, though, which most Americans, as you point out, do not have.
@Theknopf read joffe's uberpower. american stupidity is a myth of european creation. Americans have produced most of the great philosophers, historians, scientists, musicians, filmmakers, writers, etc. in era. It is a simple European jealousy which drives this myth and a eurocentricism generated by a classically fixated european public. In the postmodern American, Indian, and Russian art and intellectualism lead the permeation of the monolithic ideological wall erected by modern culture.
why was zizek shirtless and in bed? did the film maker have sex with him? this traumatizes me because it makes me think his riveting discussion was merely to fool her into climbing on top of his disgusting, hairy body.
Around like 45:00 he seems so coked out.
Love Zizek.

Is this supposed to be satire? It's damned good satire if it is, and even better if it isn't.
