  • Zizek is wrong about Dostoevsky. He does say that "everything is permitted" in The Brothers Karamazov.

  • @TheOverhuman You are absolutely right, but paradoxically Zizek may also be right, although for the wrong reasons. The phrase "If God does not exist, everything is permitted" does not appear in many English translations. So if Zizek read only the English translation he would be right in thinking that it does not appear; even though Dostoevsky did in fact say it, as you rightly point out.

  • what is he saying at 13:20? They dedicate their lives to the ??????? of pleasures...

  • @rotzikotzi99 pursuit of pleasures
