@Crackxyx Okay, fair enough.

@Naturalist1979 that's not his 'style', that's what he does in this video since he's constrained by time. Zizek is pretty actually very thorough and methodical.

when he does what you're describing he's indicating that he is building off already-established concepts. he specifically stated that the concepts he didn't have time to thoroughly explain here could be found in his books.

[Naturalist1979]

What an interesting rhetorical style: just vaguely suggest something and continue with "and so on and so on".

@cruiscinlan But the animal living outside of its natural habitat will still react based on its instinct. Just because you raise a monkey in the house doesn't mean you can teach it to sit at the table and eat with a knife and fork. An animal that hasn't had contact with its natural environment cannot be 'taught' by humans how to go back into that environment nor can another animal come around and teach it to survive. Either its natural instincts plus luck are enough or not.
