Yes this format doesn’t suit Zizek’s style, the debating is a bit competitive in the sense that everyone wants to have their say and the silencing is distracting because one is unable to hear what he has to say completely, and he is also unable to finish his analogies which are very interesting. Its hard to learn good points from Zizek when he has a lot of people disagreeing with him or cutting him short. Ironically Zizek’s style is chaotic and because the structure of the show is in a certain way where everybody has to follow certain rules, and stop speaking at certain points and directly answer the questions without misunderstanding the points and have their information clarified it actually becomes too chaotic. In a sense it would be less chaotic if Zizek had his own show or lecture to speak on these points and answer these questions on his own in whichever way he wishes in his own splatterbrain manner.
yeah they're empiricists and moral relativists and have no patience for the continental phenomenology of zizek. He speaks in a kind of musical language to characterise who us/them are (blurring the line between the two) but what the rest of the panel don't realise is they also speak in a musical language that identifies us/them but instead strengthens the divide between the two
Angelo Peralta Zizeks opinion is so exciting to hear. I wanted to hear what he had to say about Tibet but unfortunately he was interrupted by the woman who wanted to make a point about the demonisation of polyandry.
Its so sad that he has to be cut short, but I guess they need to keep things running in a one hour format like this where there are five different speakers.
Goodness, Zizek is just in a league of his own with the rest of this panel. They're not especially stupid, his mind just clearly functions in an infinitely more critical and creative manner. He triumphed, and he tends to in environments such as these.
He's top in his own league of stupidity lol. No socialist or communist society has ever done well. It's a recipe for oppression, murder and dictatorship.
Jake Roberts Read much Zizek? Marx? Any philosophy or political economy for that matter? I suspect you haven't, because otherwise you would not be so crude as to erect a tiresome Stalinist strawman in place of proper intellectual debate.
211Anon dude Zizek is a charlatan and a buffoon. The only "infinite" quality of his mind is an infinite capacity for the (at best) dressing up of platitudes in a wrapping of such blustering conviction that you're convinced something of great moment must be being discussed. Peel back all the wrapping and what's left? Give me three examples from this talk of "infinitely more critical" things he said. This is a man who harangued Chomsky for the apparently intolerable principle that beliefs should be proportional to evidence. He states that the lesson of Stalinist gulags is that we mustnt wait for evidence, we must act, presumably, from some infallible intuition. He doesn't also say whether Philosohers such as David Hume, scientists such as Galileo and every legal system in the Western world should also be lumped in with Chomsky for the same offence. On a separate note, he's explicitly chastised Chomsky for saying that the data at the time of the Western media crying genocide in Cambodia was insufficient for the charge. Zisek's "infinitely more clear and creative" mind, to use your phrase, has translated this into the claim that there was no genocide in Cambodia. Kate Adie, who is a highly respected foreign correspondent, had much more sensible things to say on some of those topics. But she said them calmly, with no great theatre, using only simple language and without any of Zisek's arm flailing frothing bombast. But then again, she can afford to. Her career depends on giving a coherent and sensible account of the facts of this or that situation around the world. It doesn't depend on sputtering Marxian babble in attempt to con (usually literary) intellectuals into thinking there is thinking going on under there.
As an Afghan I supported hundred percent the comment of Slavoj on Afghanistan. Afghanistan 40 years ago had a government that was much secular and democrat than the most of Asian countries. The current situation of Afghanistan is the result of cold war in this country, one supporting communism other one supporting radical muslims. Afghanistan was much in a head than most Asian countries 50 years ago.
+crimsonbubbles Fat people getting together and rubbing their blubber against each other. He's mocking the idea that these people who engage in poly- fucking are doing so because they are motivated by a deep connection, intimacy and love for multiple people. It's just about good kinky sex. So imagine when these people do this they don't miraculously engage with fat ugly people who have a pure soul.
Hanne Lykke Poulsen That’s the impression that I had. I was trying to figure out whether the host was being fair by giving everyone a chance to speak, or whether he was unfairly rude to Zizek.
Actually I thought the host did an excellent job of keeping moving it along and giving everyone a chance to speak.. Zizek will talk forever and monopolize the conversation if the host doesn't keep him in check..
@@fellowcitizen Tony Jones is a notoriously poor interviewer and host? What planet do you live on mate? There's a reason why he's been the host of qanda for more almost 10 years
KironVB capitalism also means you’re using a smart phone commenting on TH-cam videos instead of working in a field and living an average life of 46 years.
Some One because capitalism refers to wealth creation, property rights and means of production. The examples you gave was a religion and food you moron.
Capitalism is actually the absence of a system, so that the chief human emotional responses to the market, greed and fear, are allowed to self-regulate individual's responses to market dynamics. Ordinarily fear keeps a check on greed, but when the market is corrupted through monopoly, which is enabled by government and the special favours bought through politicians and by lobbying, or by the socialization of services, these are instances of cronysim whereby fear no longer keeps greed in check.
Oh boy, every video with Zizek in it, people say, 'why does he stroke his mustache', 'he must be on drugs', 'I bet he smells bad'... I thought most people had grown out of that sort of commentary by the time they were maybe 15. Deal with it, everyone has quirks. Zizek's simply very enthusiastic about his ideas, he moves around a lot. f you can't handle that, maybe go back to watching children's TV and stop trying to engage with ideas that make you feel uncomfortable.
Something I found interesting is that I saw a video where he is speaking in his native language, and he doesnt seem to do it as much. Perhaps that has something to do with it.
@@travisdylan5938 Tourette syndrome (TS or simply Tourette's) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder with onset in childhood, characterized by multiple motor tics and at least one vocal (phonic) tic. So, no, he doesn't have Tourettes syndrome, since he doesn't have any vocal tics. I heard him explain that those are nervous tics. You can see similar in tennis with Rafa Nadal, for example.
Actually, the others are not unintelligent, but they are just ordinary and cannot offer anything especially original, whereas Zizek, most certainly, can.
I’ve been with my husband for so many years, none that I regret. I couldn’t love another man the way I love my husband. I am in love with my husband. I don’t believe that you can be in love with two people, not equally anyway. I simply couldn’t imagine being able to do that. I couldn’t share my body with another man, and I wouldn’t want him to share his body with another woman. His emotional input into another woman would hurt me. I suppose others can do as they please, but I can never understand it. Just my humble opinion.
It's obvious that most of the panel can't keep up with Slavojs intellect given that they always react with either laughter or a smirk. That's the number 1 giveaway that you don't understand what he's talking about. Even if they do understand , they still react the same way because they feel utterly inferior in this situation.
Or it could be that Zizek has an entertaining way of getting his idea across. Look at how often the questions are directed at Zizek, and even if they're directed at the panel, the panel tends to go to Zizek first. They have a huge respect for his ideas.
Tony also lacked the skill to facilitate him - just cutting him off whenever he was getting to the salient point every time. Tony has always been a poor facilitator and interviewer, and I've never understood how he came to control key ABC positions.
I watched this for Zizek, but I was pleasantly surprised with the interesting perspectives of the other speakers (though Greg Sheridan interested me least of all).

I disagree with the panel at the end.Growth isn't the problem,capitalism is.Growth is related to energy cunsumption.We're currently investing trillions to fund wars for natural resources.Resources which we burn and harm our own environment with.Why,instead,don't we fund perfecting alternative sources such as sun and wind energy?Because it doesn't make money for the big corporates.Harvesting the energy of the sun would be extremely sufficient for all people,because it would stop harming the environment,it would introduce a great abundace of energy,thus production and growth,which in turn will allow technology to develop at a much faster rate,allowing standards of living all around the world to skyrocket and it will practically stop war altogether.But for that to happen the resources of a country must be commonly owned,not privately,so that when it is decided what to do with them,it can be the solution for all,not for the few.If we accept that growth is the problem,we're accepting that progress and evolution are the problem.The problem is how we distribute our resources,not how we use them.

Although both are self proclaimed (though hitchens often leaned more torwards trotskyism) it woild probably have been a very unproductive discourse given that is brutally pragmatoc with his arguments whereas the other gets carried away with metaphysical/abstract tendencies, it woukd have been great to see them give a speech in the same room.
guys it’s a Slavic thing with this so son and so on, in fact almost all Slavic languages translate the ecc... as tak dalej i tak dalej (this one is in Polish but Russians and Slovenes use very similar version of this word) which literally means and so further away and further away but in English obviously is translated as so on and son, the problem is that Slavs very often use this so on thing when they talk, far more often than English speakers and thats why it almost looks like an OCD style obsession but in reality it’s not, when he speaks in English he still thinks automatically in his head in Slovene and I know because I’m Polish and I speak 3 languages fluently and 2 at an intermediate level and so it also happens to me a lot plus I have slight dyslexia so my brain sometimes overheat when I try to use 3 different languages at the same time

7:25 - "There is this bizarre idea that men's sex drives is higher than women's and that's just total crap". No it isn't total crap. It's true. A woman will never understand unless she spends a day being a man. Healthy, young men are horny the whole time. We think about sex every 10 minutes. Men have 7 times the amount of testosterone in them as women. This notion that men and women are identical in the sexual drive department is just nonsense.
Greg Sheridan says at 46:30-47:00 that WikiLeaks tells us that "Democracies tell the truth and dictatorships lie. Mona Eltahawy says, "How can you say that when WikiLeaks tells us that the Democracies knew what was going on (ousting of Mubarek) and continued to sell weapons?" She further states that the Democracies knew what was going on during the Arab Spring and did NOT support the dictatorships!
Never heard about Jon Ronson before but he really impressed me. Maybe I'm just being drawn by his charm, but it certainly works well in this kind of setting.
I've heard him tell the story of the cosmic dance of his knife & the enemies eye .. hahaha Its always a great laugh, although i do get his context for the reason
although, by the end of it, I have to say that the guy who charmed me the most was Jon Ronson, he gave the best comments and in a certain moment outdebated zizek, props to that dude.

Although both are self proclaimed (though hitchens often leaned more torwards trotskyism) it woild probably have been a very unproductive discourse given that is brutally pragmatoc with his arguments whereas the other gets carried away with metaphysical/abstract tendencies, it woukd have been great to see them give a speech in the same room.
I think they disrespected slavoj zizek by inviting him.
I'm 6 minutes in and Slavoj has said 'and so on' at least 3 times
guys it’s a Slavic thing with this so son and so on, in fact almost all Slavic languages translate the ecc... as tak dalej i tak dalej (this one is in Polish but Russians and Slovenes use very similar version of this word) which literally means and so further away and further away but in English obviously is translated as so on and son, the problem is that Slavs very often use this so on thing when they talk, far more often than English speakers and thats why it almost looks like an OCD style obsession but in reality it’s not, when he speaks in English he still thinks automatically in his head in Slovene and I know because I’m Polish and I speak 3 languages fluently and 2 at an intermediate level and so it also happens to me a lot plus I have slight dyslexia so my brain sometimes overheat when I try to use 3 different languages at the same time
2:48 that Žižek´s face precisely grasp the emptiness of what Kate Adie is saying
The guy at around 34 minutes who couldn't stop stuttering :"( It's ok man.
I just want to hear Zizek speak all night
With those subtitles super job you have do it, I think must be little more bigger for to read well, and I learning english during entertainments.
anyway, congratulate, video have changed significantly from technical, that time uploaded
Just imagine being Slavoj for a day!
*WTF is this !?! Bunch of clowns talking about the most serious issues of humanity ! Zizek is an exception, he is actually the only marxist I have some respect ;)*
2:36 I love Zizek's blank stare.
Always a pleasure to listen to Mona!
Mona has the mind of a child. All questions boil down to a feminist critique because she is so self centered (likely like yourself).
@@brucebogtrotter3430 unhinged reply
Jon Ronson is way ahead of the curve. I honestly followed his points with appreciation for his aesthetic. Journalists love to talk about politics.
Always the best on a panel. He's a fantastic writer, he's sweet, smart and kinda cute too!
Hearing them talk after Zizek feels like watching children mumbling after an adult speaks.
I love this moderator, he does an amazing job of keeping people on topic.
TH-cam Algorithm brings me Zizek at 2 am in the morning.
Thank God the Women-Mona and Kate- and Zizek were on this panel...wow
Always a pleasure to hear Zizzzz also Jon is excellent.
You can clearly see slavoj playing in completely different league of intellect than the rest
zizek is a force of nature damn

Q&A: The yardstick of the culturally confused in Australia
I enjoyed this A&Q. Great talk. Now I don't feel so bad about being in the Great USSA. Thank you.
25:44 haha, his face of shock!
West restrained Mubarak from using force by the threat of not giving military aid. Finally Mubarak was persuaded to leave.
7:25 - "There is this bizarre idea that men's sex drives is higher than women's and that's just total crap".
No it isn't total crap. It's true. A woman will never understand unless she spends a day being a man. Healthy, young men are horny the whole time. We think about sex every 10 minutes. Men have 7 times the amount of testosterone in them as women. This notion that men and women are identical in the sexual drive department is just nonsense.
Slavoj and Mona should really be having its own show! They both will piss off Peterson's army
Thanks for captions!!!
I don't think I have ever seen someone move their hands when they speak so much in my life. Even Lewis Black must be impressed.
What a good talk! Kudos!
Slavoj is smart af... Inspiring
i
Greg Sheridan says at 46:30-47:00 that WikiLeaks tells us that "Democracies tell the truth and dictatorships lie. Mona Eltahawy says, "How can you say that when WikiLeaks tells us that the Democracies knew what was going on (ousting of Mubarek) and continued to sell weapons?" She further states that the Democracies knew what was going on during the Arab Spring and did NOT support the dictatorships!
49:08 Zizek's absolutely on fire wanting to answer that question so bad
God, this is so interesting. The stuff about psychopaths was enlightening.
that guy in charge ... god... he is abearable in all posible dimentions
This was one EPIC Q&A!
Never heard about Jon Ronson before but he really impressed me. Maybe I'm just being drawn by his charm, but it certainly works well in this kind of setting.
I've heard him tell the story of the cosmic dance of his knife & the enemies eye .. hahaha Its always a great laugh, although i do get his context for the reason
although, by the end of it, I have to say that the guy who charmed me the most was Jon Ronson, he gave the best comments and in a certain moment outdebated zizek, props to that dude.
