  • Oh, I get it ... It's a coffee anecdote ... I get coffee anecdotes ...

  • @mmarkgilligan

    SO WAS I ;D

  • What babble is he on about? Derp.

  • I had my hopes up. I thought he was going to talk about coffee.

  • So he's basically explaining the function of what linguists call 'speech acts'. What a load of bunk Zizek is.

  • thinking outside the box? well he blew it up just like he will blow your mind. in the end, there is no box, but our self imposed ideology.

  • I shall be back for more of Slavoj Žižek's talk. Thank you for uploading.

  • zizeks so fucking strung out it's a joke.
