  • Did Lacan talk about the mirror/mask/momento mori/true self/god thing? Also, did he talk about "transcendental alchemy"? How do we get from "True self" to "god"? Is it that knowing "true self" is mortal, we ask "what is immortal?" and "god" is the word we use to describe whatever that "immortal" might be? Very curious. And awesome vid btw! :-)

  • Thanks for your comments! Lacan's moment of alchemy is tied into social castration, the movement from child to adult, but that move is all but forgotten in our modern "command to enjoyment" social order. In LACAN HOUR 2 I'll be looking a lot at that. Right now, in the film, it's kind of the reverse, with the pac man, re-claiming the phallus through eating it.

    it's meant to funny and promote interest in theory by taking the stuffed bourgeoisie sanctimony piss out of it.

  • You're damn funny. I love this. I wish you'd gone the extra mile and upped the production values, because it's so awesome. I also think Lacan is stupid.

  • This is probably the most hilarious vid on youtube... 5:30 is one of the best parts :) And my boyfriend loved the idea of teaching with a piano in the background!

  • questa è merda! Non potete capire un cazzo.

  • It's a good parody! not to be taken serously, but it is funny, not informative, just funny.

  • Good job. You could have thrown in some rebirth, it would have happened if it was a dream, i bet

  • Great! ...chainsaws, milk of magnesia tablets...

    I went into fits of giggles with the Pacman and the devouring the devourers stuff.

    Oh and "the soul is math"? freakin' depressing.

  • this is a cool clip. make more.

  • altought lacan\s theory sounds crap to me, the way u did the video is deserving applause.

    i liked the comments u made about death...
