zizek

Love getting high and listen to Žižek :)

Creation as a disturbance. Interesting point. It sounds gnostic to me in a sense.

The grand stroke of Zizek, both in his message, but mainly in effect, has been to shed light on the left from somewhere other than the right. Emerson, read by Nietzsche, prioritized provocation over instruction. To dismiss such a talent as Zizek is almost as bad as agree with everything he says. The only way to improve on Zizek is to take him absolutely seriously. Micheal Moore works there, Chomsky over this way, and Rorty over that way. Now we have Zizek bubbling our blood.

What a wonderful comment. I just discovered Zizek today and saw a 30 minute interview with him. I think it is appropriate that he is mentioned in the same breath as Chomsky.

KajiC, don't blame us. You're just seeing the conversational effects of jumping in and dismissing a whole school of thought with a broad stroke. You've already made up your mind, ideologically & philosophically, content & method, so why take you seriously?

It also speaks volumes that Rand is marginal and dismissed vis-a-vis "real" philosophy, and that you've arrived to attack continental thinkers (also marginal in N. America). Zizek's thought is good for seeing this for what it is: projection.

the 'best way to live your life' doesn't involve being a sociopath, sorry. not in any sense, philosophically, biologically, socially. maybe you just don't pay attention to the news?

you should probably just go ahead and quote the 40 page monologue from Atlas Shrugged or her rape fantasies

or you can actually read Kant and see how she developed her view on subjectivity by completely misinterpreting him. but maybe that'll not tickle your Rugged Individualist Rational Acting.

Ad hominem ad nauseam. You're getting boring as well as bland, my friend.

"you should probably just go ahead and quote the 40 page monologue from Atlas Shrugged"

That's the first reasonable thing you've said so far. I suggest you save me the trouble and go read it yourself. It might have an inspiring impact on you.

haha well i see you have not only trouble parsing ideas, but parsing language. oh well.

Alright then. No intelligent rebuttal, just hopelessly unclever insults. Check.
