I'm glad you’re finding it useful, my friend. I’m certainly a neophyte myself; however, I’d just add that Žižek is not a poststructuralist, although he no doubt works in that space.
Lost me at "consciousness is an object". Of course you HAVE to think something like that to think that consciousness poses no problems for a view on which everything is an object. But that doesn't render the glaring category error of calling consciousness- the very possibility of phenomenally as such-an object coordinate with all other objects (which appear in consciousness) intelligible. It's analogous to the ontotheological error which mistakes Being for a being.

Haha, mate... I myself am a Žižekian and am not in agreement with all of Harman's views, but I certainly wouldn't call him a fake. Like Žižek, I think Harman is one of the most important philosophers of our time. Not to mention, he's genuinely a cordial person.
As someone just learning about Poststructurelist Theory and thus just learning about Žižek's Theory this is very interesting to me. Love to see more!

Watching this is making me seasick.
Haha, why is that?

Fair criticism. As much as I respect Prof Harman's work, here's where I disagree with him.

Not even close.
Fantastic, enjoying this very much thank you!
Great to hear, Matt!
Harman. Such a fake. Blah.. 😂

He's a fake. No sense of philosophy at all. Lots of fakes are important to wretched people; some of whom know he's a fake.
