Interviewing Slavoj is no easy task even for experienced journalists. Hats off to Ariella who basically took control of the interview because Nando seemed more interested in looking attractive.
My new favorite Slavoj quoteable: "I talk too much, please ask me a question." Brilliant !!
There's a good story about an event where he had been talking on and on, for well over an hour, non-stop. The moderator finally picked up the courage to intervene and ask if he would allow some questions. Slightly put out, Zizek responds "Absolutely! Will you allow me to choose the first question?" The moderator replies, "of course". ...Slavoj turns back to the audience and says: "Ok, I choose myself: "Professor Zizek, what would you have talked about, had you been given a little more time?""
@@Hic_Rhodus that's brilliant! He's such a mess, yet I finf it impossible to dislike him. And most of his ideas are really interesting.
@@Hic_Rhodus : 😂 "Ok , I choose myself ..." ✊😂
I'm in love 💘 .•°
@@lisaw150 Let's embrace the hysteria, then reply with more hysteria and wait for a reaction. Following his example.
I like how Zizek is the only one without a book shelf behind 😃
Many people do that, I work in academia and people do that all the time. I believe they feel smarter and secure by showing their library... I feel that it is rather a sign of insecurtiy. "Look at my library, see? I am smart" Many of these people are greens and eco-fanatics, yet they collect huge amount of paper.... use pdf, be truly green :D but I could be wrong... just thinking out loud :D
@@lukassiegel1992 Insecurity fuels identity. Whereas Zizek is on every dimension the capitalization of hysteria into creativity.
He has his books in his mind, not to show off
@@Quinceps I think this was the smartest comment here
The virgin academic vs the chad zizek
The clickbait for me was the "and so on"
Hahaha same
Omatewlax! Omatewlax!
Ooooooooooo, mAh

Lol
Zizek is truly a force of nature. Absurd, and terrifying, yet emanating truth and beauty with every drip and sniff.
Excellent questions by Ariella. Has clearly closely read a difficult and deeply profound and uniquely honest thinker. Thanks.
What Nando Vila says about Greta T. 'Now you can married her legally 'cause she's 18th?' WTF, MAN!
And liked his joke so much he dared to repeat it, to make sure EVERYONE heard this masterpiece, this is just ehh
@@sashapriboy I didn't have the chance to continue listening. Did he repeated that? Well, looks like somebody have to write some paragraphs in the Jacobin Mag about this kind of "jokes".
He was trying to be edgy and impress Žižek with an obscene joke, and it went so horribly wrong. That guy just looks like a creep, and he might be? If it weren't so awful to watch it would be a fascinating moment.
Yes, a little bit of Nando goes a long way. Nice guy though. He seems to me a little over his head in his interviews I have seen. But, he also seems naturally humane and curious. A Quiet, searching soul with a laid-back interview style. But, yes, WTF man!?
Wow you are so virtuous Mr. Sanchez - thanks for protecting us!
I think I'm schizoid and depressed. Zizêk gives me a template of being Which does not fill me with dread.
I'm with you. Zizek is about the only person keeping me going.
Brother
AND SO ON
The problem is not that people consider how tolerant they are, its that they are oblivious how much they are “being tolerated” “I am able to tolerate and to be tolerated” this statement has some value
slavoj zizek just exists to simply vibe hard and be an icon
Zizek's comments on the capitol raid/storming and the idea of Carnival and the carnivalesque was great -- I was feeling the same as I watched. I was especially thinking of Bakhtin's carnivalesque element "Profanation," where something formerly sacred is stripped down or made ridiculous. These rioters are from a political perspective that puts so much emphasis on rule of law, traditional values, idolizing the founding fathers... and so in this Carnival space they started destroying a symbol of those things. And the "Viking" guy even made me think of a sort of "Carnival King"
Clinging to the words of the founding fathers has created this and the whole rest of the mess.
A 💯💯 Y old constitution 🙄
The right to wear guns 🙄
It couldn't be more
outdated ! .•°
19:00 It's true, those apps are private companies who own part of our social space, they have a monopoly of social connection and public space
I want to listen to him so much that even when I have him on as background sound for multitasking I actually notice when he stutters
So nice! Applausses for the three of them. THANK YOU
Hes incredibly vital for 72 old.
baš
I get a feeling of inter passivity when listening to Zizek lecture, it is if I am doing the analysis
Great title, I see what you did there, you are getting better at this
Great segment!
Friendship, Slavoj, seems to be key...at least judging from the use of the term "friend(s)" in your "discourses". "Friendship" is, perhaps, worth a closer examination. It does have an interesting history.
great thinker!
Greta marriage joke, Ariella looked rightfully disgusted.
really gross "you can marry her legally" twice
yeah, yikes
I was looking for someone to mention this! And Ariella tried to cover for/over him with that "Happy Birthday, Greta!" and he repeated it! Bro...
@Rick : so what ? In vast number of countries across the 🌏 child marriage is standard.
Can You *dO* anything about it except raising your head and lift your eyebrow in disgust ?
Try nOt to continue imposing Your white western romanticist values by placing hard judgements on others who see and do different .
The 🌐 is suffering for centuries over white western "moral" imperialism.
High morals 🤢
High ethics 🤢
The one who claims to rely on these ideologies , mostly sees himself unable to practice what he preaches.
You may object , you personally aren't keen on marrying or as he said , screwing young girls but who do you tink are the rapists and child porn users in the west on the internet and in real live ?
They aLL hide behind exact Your high sounding moral agenda.
Go † church and look how many of your priests are true monsters. Backed up by the corrupt and conspiral system they kneel down in and pray their phony prayers.
*Do somting* instead of collecting groupies around here with your supreme moralistic attitudes .•°
@@CelineOracle : me nOt sure whether You really want know why me here listening to The Fabulous Zizek.
You speak true , child marriage is a highly questionable practice.
Old men lying on young girls gives me the BiG VomiT 🤢. . .
Me criticised the attitude You've shown by Your statement , nOt the contents.
Empowerment and education . ..
YeS , and what remains in times of planetary 🌏 crisis ?
Children are forced back to labor because there isn't sufficient food on the table in those 5-10 children families.
Do something about that.
Find a family and donate 100$ per month directly.
That's empowerment⚡️!
Not via some foundation like UNICEF.
This is were true compassion turns into actions.
Not futile criticism about an unfortunate joke , which is based on male chauvinism and misogynism.
You folks tink 💭 that aLL problems can be solved in discussions and by contracts .
Come off it and dO somting .•°
Slavoj legend...
Excellent show! Love Zizek!
I love it, and so on, and so on
We must join together
I looooooooove Zizek. So wise and so warm. I feel grateful for these videos. Ariella Thornhill, you rock. PS However I do not agree with his view that the left should go to the extreme (in imitation of Trump's extremism). I dont know if it would work but I see that as electoralist.
I admire him so much!
When he says, "Don't be afraid ", hang on.
Slavoj takes so much time not sniffing, the negation of his sniffing is amazing
uhh excuse me sir, u forgot to add another "so on" in the title!
I always wondered what would happened if someone said "black lives matter too".
My thought too.
Always backlash, as soon as you say "black".
It's just really hard to believe anyone's actually too stupid to understand what it means without that. But yeah, at least it would leave the 'all lives matter' types nowhere to hide.
Are you going to interview Byung-Chul Han????!!!!! Please do!
Maybe you could invite some politicians from other countries like Corbyn or Dziemianowicz-Bąk? ;) that would be great, thanks for your videos
Corbyn is joining us at the end of the month!
Ariella not Nando knew who wrote Beloved...but he knew Zizek meant "Elysium"
Thanks for explaining the meaning of "Black Life's matter". Hatians are Black regardless of race.
Nice Vid 👍🏼
How do u know? Its been up for 16 mins and u posted this 14 mins ago...
@@deelee4639 it has zizek in it, why wouldn't it be great?

The guy in the middle looks like he has no clue what zizek is talking about lol
wow those interviewers have got no clue! grab a book once in a while guys!
Please someone give Zizek good mic 😂

Slavoj is the pandemic of prolific, piercing and provocative pensieros, perfectly perfected post-partum. Peace, peacocks.
till i hear stuff like that,have a small hope(not the dreem!!!) we'll survive.
Getting used to a certain mode of life does not mean that catastrophes will not occur, and that when they occur it's best to ignore them. They will not go away by pretending they do not exist. This was done with AIDS too. AIDS was ignored for a long time until the virus spread so much, it could not be ignored anymore, causing an enormous amount of unnecessary harm if people would have realized that AIDS is a health problem and not a political issue. At the same time I agree that politics cannot be separated from catastrophes.

And so on in the title, I died

i just noticed he looks just like old photo of Hegel
And so on

What is the difference between a simple leftist and a radical leftist, and an ultra leftist or ultra rightist and a radical rightist and a simple rightist?
The result of PC is that too many people can no longer speak as they think or feel truly, but as they think other expect them to speak in the PC bubble. It's a real nightmare, for people who think the PC speech is nonsense.
Wanting "their lives back" 🙄 , which ultimately never *belonged* to them , is an expression of the love for the narcosis They were submitted to.
We are hostages of the culture we were risen in.
We cannot escape it 🔗

Are too myopic , helpless , lazy ....

so We better toe the line.

What is the difference between a Californian and a Tajik leftist?
divide and conquer
What I don't understand about SZ's thinking is that, on the one hand, he is warning us about 'bio-engineering' and 'bio-digital interfaces,' 'digital/cyber control of human thought,' 'Artificial Intelligence' not having 'humans' best interests in mind,' etc. etc. etc. but yet SZ, on the other hand, has ZERO, that is ZERO AT ALL TO SAY about the potential of symbiotic-non-conventional warfare IN CONCERT WITH mRNA vaccines, coupled with the pandemic 'psy-op communications warfare narrative,' and how all of this works together, and might, just might, be 'a big part...an 'initial salvo,' of this 'big digital AI' bio control system directed at human freedom. Very strange indeed.
love how he is sniffing his nose in the preview
Why do these two have bookshelves behind their cameras.
old man with his tong out for minutes of hd video :)
Summary: "We just like chatting with Zizek. We still have no idea what he wants us to do right now."
Exaczzztly ... it's like static on a old tv sometimes. Kinda cool, means nothing.
Like talking to a drunk smart guy. Somewhat insightful in the moment, the next day it means nothing.
I get the fascination... but this is getting ridiculous. I bet he charges big-money to do these shows... shows... It's like an empty shell of theoretical "politics"...
Maybe he's just bored though. And loves talking and being heard
*SNIFF* and so on, and so on.
Omatewlax! hewastryingtoimpressslavoj
As a voice of the progressive left, please be more sensitive when joking about minors turning 18 and being legally able to marry old men. It’s... disgusting.
That is what is literally happening right now around the world in some countries. Actually, worse than that. Some children are being circumsized right fucking now. That is what is happening in this world.
Really could have done without that joke and the doubling down on the joke when everyone ignored it the first time.
Agree! So weird and unnecessary. I've always been so grossed out by any jokes about "jailbait" or "she's legal now." Ariella didn't look too thrilled with that either.
Is there a timestamp for that?
IT WAS A JOKE!
Why in the world is discussing issues Black people face that as a race that makes their input into society, from the African Diaspora to current concerns of divisions between art, people, and the overarching stereotypes, as but one dimension, of lacking value, mean that unless all the other lives chime in and say we matter too it isn’t ok to do? Black Lives Matter. Why is anyone uncomfortable with simply grouping all the issues that Black people face collectively and applying it to one linguistic objective and focus? All of these damn hypocrites want their own damn participation trophies. Does everybody win? Is it not a competition? Quel domage. 😢 Is that you Little Brother?
This Nando guy has not a clue. I noticed it before on previous vids but this Greta comment should be the end of his participation. Hard to criticize the system when you give a platform to a misogynist. Usually, I just skip the video if he is on it but I wanted to hear Zizek...
If Zizek's going to be sexistly surprised that AOC is more than just a pretty face, I can't help feeling he should be similarly sexistly surprised about Ariella.
@@EvsEntps How random.
Lol

Slavoj, have you met Donald Trump in person?
hegelian dialectic
“Situation is pushing us towards somekind of communism”-hmm..
How about to use the right word for it-HAPPYTALISM!
I still don’t understand why there is no intelectual to find who is discussing about this topic? Isn’t alowed or what? Will someone be censored? Is it to dangerous? What?? Always the same- capitalism, socialism, capitalism, socialism.. I don’t get it..

He makes a lot of assumptions about people and their motives. Like he’s a mind reader.
Clown
what is vilas problem ffs
I'm glad the guy in the middle did not speak more...
What the actual fuck is he talking about
It looks ridiculous seeing people continuously shaking their heads. Maybe try peacefully listening. Too much energy. Anxious energy. Yuck.
Close your eyes autocrat
The "marrying" comment is weird and gross.
Though I really like Zizek I wonder why even he always comes back to Israel. Giving the impression its the most oppressive state in the world. I really do not understand the obsession of my fellow leftists with Israel. Should you criticize how the palestinians are treated? Of course. But its always about proportion. Hence I understand why people of a different political background can have the impression that this obsessive rhetoric actually hides a kind of vulgar ressentiment
rather than an honest humanitarian critique.
The pandemic is dangerous; stay home and enjoy videos people.
Your statement doesn't take into consideration poverty. And many other factors.
@@javierdeotazuolivares3056 And you don't factor in death. You can't be poor if you are already dead.
he is so...strange
Disappointing but vulgar too
Ariella was saying how the framing her identity is offending but also sign of racism, and yeah i agree but then he Zizek could not but say " beautiful Woman " and he said it , that , what he will say would be read as sexism, but not only as sexism and it was kind of sexist moment but i would also kind of add, it is as one sentence to the human, sentence that SHE is beautiful, almost the curse and indeed it s not decent at all to say something like this with all this body language he cannot avoid to perform. So many " woman" (as he was pointing on and on), indeed had to face terrible faith due to the beauty they had from the nature, and it is so sad that he did not pay attention to this little fact that any kind of polarization is still THE polarization and no matter it is part of his tell... I say again, he is kind of strange one
