    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.

    I don't think women and men have the same sex drive, men def have more of it. The idea that women have been suppressed to the point where they hardly think about sex, or hardly masturbate (the most accurate indicator of sex drive besides sex itself) is asinine.

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.

      @MrMikkyn 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
