We can all want to be free from the constraints of, say, X, without thereby be committed to Z. You might want A, she B, he C, they D. That is not a mysterious property of freedom. Free from and free to are different, even if ultimately connected.

The whole "Cultural Power" of Putin are Trash grade movies who no one is watching and stupidly weak propaganda on TV that no one believes. Even my grand ma and pa. Although there are some individuals who believe in it. But this is en extreme minority that proves the weakness of propaganda. So the whole radical point that Culture supports war and power structures - and "that's why we should get rid of it" seems to be hollow and unsupported. Besides Culture is what enlighten people through the history, this is how ideas are developing - humanism, critique of power structures, compassion are products of it too. But it have its gore bio-products as any system. Also "The Knowledge" is universal and available for everyone (except when it is monetized) and open for a reasonable critique. And "The Truth" are loud opinions that are correct only because everyone says the same thing over and over again - and if you are want to critique it with logic and reason, well, good luck, no one wants to listen because it is already "The Truth". This is how "Corporate Neo-Feudalism" is actually works. The lecture and format are very nice though. I watched whole video with pleasure. Thanks for posting. Also

11:23 Slavoy talks about British film theorist Richard Molbie(?) and his article on Casablanca. I struggle to find it, can anyone help?

Radically entertaining, especially those edits and sounds, and so on and so on

The fact that you said you doubt that you are one of the great minds made me admire you more and respect you more. Amazing challenge a lot of my naïve views about the world. Thank you.

Why is the audio copied and repeated all the way through? Maybe there’s some aim, but I don’t find it helpful, just annoying.

This is what Idealism does to a man

Thank you Slavoj for analysis and summary.

My wife, in argument said “why don’t you have an afffair?” I replied, “I have one head. Why would I want two headaches?”

I'm always fairly confused as to why he refers to himself as a communist or a radical leftists instead of a petit bourgeoisie mental masturbater with an affinity for socialist thought. He never talks about class structure which is the elephant in the room.

29:30 Jesus, the Kitty Genovese story isn't true, people did contact the police but the police made up that story that noone did to cause drama as a justification to go into the neighborhood, mess with the residents and as far as I remember eventually level it to build new developments. Look it up. It's a myth

Zizek finally speaks before the UN

This must be a 2012 talk! Slavoj refers to The Act of Killing presentation in Toronto,

Great lecture, entertaining as ever and interesting to see it in a time in which we are now.... not the best camera work😅 Aaaand ofcourse Zizek is rambling as always but I could have listened to him answering questions for 10 more hours. Still, in the questions asked there was an interesting spectrum of informed over inquisitive up to naive. Ofcourse Zizek is too charming to say it out loud but the last lady questioning certainly has her heart in the right place but god damn was that last line of questioning stupid. Zizek (admittedly in a very "all over the place" way) talks about a global ideological trend or whatever you want to call it and her question is basically "how about hippie communes that globally band together and make monetary value unnecessary".... dude some tried it in the 60s and 70s and it works out if you're a small idealistic group of young people... for a certain time... but looking at history as a whole and the human condition(and as Zizek loves to do: sexuality) there is no way whatsoever people will suddenly band together and say :" okay we'll only produce what we all need on a basic level and have peace" it will NEVER happen. It's the dream of a 16 year old. It doesn't even work in a smal village of like 2000 people. Human psychology prevents it on the most basic level. The "Ideengeschichte" and the history of human society as a whole makes it abundantly clear that "owning something" and "not owning something" and "taking what I (or my group) want(s)" is hardwired into our being. It doesn't even work in core families often, that everyone just get's what they need. It's a dream of paradise and paradise is an idea that precisely developed because there was always struggle and strife. Wish we could have had some more questions and espescially less childish ones than the last.

Finally a Zizek talk with new jokes (surprised about the absence of certain classic zizek jokes in the second half). Also, really fascinating that he’s talking about the “The Act of Killing,” although I think the documentary warrants more analysis. Zizek is also quite direct in this one (he’s generally behind some walls of metaphor - the jokes, the cinema, etc). Loved it. You’re doing great work.

don’t tell me you weren’t paranoid about the glass dangerously placed next to zizek’s restless hand 😂

his English hasn't improved for all these years

as some one who likes zizek, has been to at least one of his lectures at mcgill, and someone who grew up in toronto....i am surprised to find that this happened in 2012, surprised that no one told me about it, and pretty surprised that he was giving a lecture in city hall chambers, especially around the time our mayor was smoking crack cocaine.

The artistic lecture was very different ! Zizek need to come to Brazil ❤

I 100% disagree on his stance on COVID vaccination. Using his own logo above one being wealthy and the other a guest, some are objectively healthier than others. It's is a road that goes both ways, freedom from vaccination comes with health awareness. Take care of yourself and stop putting the ones taking care of themselves in danger. Though I also know what his stance is on exercise and health. This guy is a bag of contradictions.

Who's the intellectual babe that asked the Ghandi question? Excuse me for succumbing to my carnal observations but I really felt the attention to his tangents too.

Slavoj is cleverer than me.

Nice how the artist started his show with one of his greatest hits 😄

This is a decade old, but I think Žižek hasn't changed much since. What throws me back about him is his eternal love affair with communism mixed with a sly brush of negationism. 44:32 China has been a communist country for more than seven decades, beginning with a revolution heavily focused on education. However, he describes the obscene social phenomenon of the old lady who sued the man who helped her as a consequence of capitalism. He is very quick to diverge his speech from any inference on the contradiction of the time and place that event occurred by saying that “it is not about China” when it totally is about China and its social and moral values, which are channeled through an education system completely controlled by the Communist Party. Another moment that caught my attention in this regard was earlier in the video when he talked about Indonesia and the unsettling interview about methods of torture by right-wing nationalist psychopaths as an example of the dark realm of ideology. He never recognizes that left-wing ideology is also treated as a religion that led to unspeakable acts of torture and the glorification of it around the same region (Southeast Asia) but decades earlier in Cambodia. The killing fields of the Khmer Rouge were one of the most barbaric acts of genocide of the 20th century, but somehow this obscenity always seems to slip his mind. He is a brilliant thinker, but as someone who received and embraced an education based on the glory of socialism, he can’t really detach himself from that delusion, even though he is completely aware of it. Ironically, he makes himself an example of the powerful grasp of ideology’s moral double standards.

The Capitalism's Court Jester.

Thank you for disorienting me and thank you for when you do in the future... Maestro.

The video controller seems distracted, and certainly incompetent.

10:24 so did he do it during that fade-out or not?

one of zizek´s most transparent interviews

Just another Slavoj masterpiece lecture that continues to convince people the need to chance this religious system driven by Capital.

Some great cinematography within this recording.

I've spend most of my life always considering capitalism as it is. A wronged game just assure structure of power and "legitimacy". So, a blatant trap. I just realize in some way, with this document, that people acquire capitalism to themselves. I somehow stop considered people being that dumb and owned, captured. It's a slap. I've been studying the critic of capitalism so much, i lost the idea that people are just catch without knowing it and anything about it. Wow that's a precious reminder.

Humanity has failed it's evolutionary process. Hell is the promesse we've made to our children. Humanity is the agent of life failure on Earth.

With all those repetition, probably cut off moment. I really wonder about the document integrity.
