If you want to get Zizek's 'I WOULD PREFER NOT TO' t-shirt you can do so here: i-would-prefer-not-to.com

they should team up. How dare you, and so on.

I love the way he starts with a badass beat box

I love how hes a slovenian man speaking english while simultaneously throwing in german and french words xD

This man is snorting facts!

mans accent so strong the youtube subtitles are in dutch lol

"We don't know for sure, but when we do it will definately be too late" Fucking brilliant

Got to love Zizek's take on "Antigone". Sophocles wrote Antigone around 441 BC. In the story King Creon disallows Antigone's brothers burial, because he had lead a foreign army. Antigone buries her brother anyway. She is sentenced to death but hangs herself before the execution. Or - as Zizek puts it: Antigone says: "Fuck off I want to bury my brother", and Creon says "yes but look at the political situation and so on and so on". I love it. So 2021.

He’s mastered so much, except the letter “S”

He’s literally spitting facts 💦

Excellent opening lip smacks, sniffs, and so on and so on

I just learned of this man’s existence in the last week, and he’s immediately one of my all-time favorite humans.

all the people in the audience that never read Antigone: "What the hell is this guy talking about burying his Crayon?"

As an autistic person I can say he doesn't misrepresent us. There are other autistic people too, so don't take my word to be holy, but I personally found his description very accurate.

When he talks he slurps so much that KZfaq`s automatic subtitle algorithm thinks that he is speaking Dutch.

The auto generated subtitles perfectly capture his speech

Zizek is a global treasure

Hallo! I wanted to ask what conference is that clip taken from because I wanted to see all the members opinions and the whole discussion. Thank you!

He missed a spot on his face.

The main problem is that politicians rarely take a stand on anything if it threatens the popularity of their political party or their own reelection. And if they do take a stand, they won't get many donors the next time around.

i dont think any of the other speakers wanted to hold the mic after him

Verleugnung (Denial in English) : Refusal to accept reality, thus blocking external events from awareness. Anna Freud postulated that an individual ignores the perception of real sensory impressions and their meaning thus the threatening pieces of external reality can be recognized as non-existent.

I often wondered what would Žižek do if one tied his hands behind his back in some debate.

Zizek is providing baseball signals in perpetuity

his professional career began as a stamp humidifier

I appreciate your content but I think it would be better if you included the name of the interview/conference and the year it was recorded in every description.

Would love to meet this man but no way in hell would shake his hand.

You know its gonna be a good one then the first three seconds are sniffing and snorting already XXDDD

Im german and we had this guy in our English test last friday (im in year 11) and they played some Audio Clip where He Talks about ideology and we had to translate to german. I dont have a clue how they find All these Audio clips in English where you dont under stand anything and i just got myself a F

I wish they had a sign person next to him.

Zizek would be a super spreader for sure.

im so proud he is from my country i wish to meet him one day

I also like this movement, Fridays and so on.

What is the description describing?

The subtitles are amazing!

Don’t even attempt subtitles

What he is saying in 1 sentence; Greta speaks her mind directly without falling for the political correctness and that's what we need more off in this world.

I love listening to him but it's so hard to follow 🤣

I totally agree, certain situations do require a dogmatic approach of no negotiation or committment.

What’s the Freudian term he refers to? I can’t distinguish it to type it out and further read. Said it stands for “I know, but...”

I love how everything about his way of speaking is so unappealing but you are still hanging on his lips because it's just phenomanal content wise.

How do you spell that word Freud used?

The video has Dutch (auto generated) subtitles.

0:55 yes, but that doesn't mean not being domatic, depending on the situation- things stay the same if they don't change

Doctor: you can't touch your face constantly like that it might cause your life. Zizek: ok, can I touch somebody's face near me then?

I like Zizek's point about dogmatism, it highlights a weakness of our ultra democratic liberal societies that is basically never addressed, the inefficiency and potential dishonesty of leaving every single subject up for debate, because it is the open-minded and democratic thing to do in principle. It opens us up to getting bogged down in inefficient debates or lose motivation at actually achieving a goal we may have already agreed upon (what he means by the "mais comment"). Even worse, it gives the opportunity to certain people to purposefully bog down the conversation into endless debate ensuring actions are never taken, which is most evident in the lobbying around climate action. This is also why to me centrism is the most infuriating political ideology, especially this "critical thinker" brand of centrism like Destiny that is absolutely obsessed with over-nuancing and debating every single topic never arriving at any definite conclusion that could be acted upon, in effect ensuring that the status-quo or the current trajectory of change is unopposed. There's no clear answer whether it's better to be dogmatic or open-minded, because too open-minded and you can be manipulated or placated into endless debate and inaction, while too dogmatic and you can lose the ability to distinguish right from wrong and become driven only by dogma. But one thing's for sure, our inability to deal with issues like climate change is a clear sign that we are perhaps too open-minded and not dogmatic enough in our approach.

He makes me itchy just be looking at him...

Zizek uses too much oxygen and his mike is not sufficiently energy efficient.

well said, well said.

in our current global, capitalistic consumerism we have effectively numbed a great deal of the public by simply saying 'here, you can spend a bit more and pretend you have made a difference'. its moral licensing at work.

And so on and so on................

Great points, incidentally can you please come speak in California so we can end the drought?

finally some sense in the whole greta conversion.

I need English subtitles! Pleease!! It’s not so difficult

Man oh man!!!! This is refreshing!!!

Spit literally is flying through my phone. Couldn't believe it.

Zizek: sniff sniff Greta: how dare you?! 😭

How did manage to get his first job imagine His inteview!!

I think now we know for sure

Žižek 👍👏

I thought I would use the subtitles to help me track what in the hell he is saying. Oy! What a mistake.

The first 3 seconds of this video are tremendous

Link to the original ???

His accent is so strong that youtube gives you dutch translation :D

incredible genius i'm proud that we were born in the same country....

I get that she is supposed to demand answers and not supply them, but there is another great Zizek video "Think, don't act." Where he talks about how people often want revolutions but don't think what should happen after, I feel like the climate movement has lost a lot of steam and people have gone back to not caring and most countries arent doing anything really and the ones who are just do the bare minimum, I feel like the demand solutions instead of action allowed politicans to go "We'll look into" and not following up

On the day subtitle AI can manage Zizek, it can be considered sentient.

It's kinda funny that when he wanted to say torture he first thought of the german word Folter.

From what I observe, she's become a meme for most on the internet, climate change activists are so easy to hate for some reason, but I guess that's the martyrdom they accept for a modicum of change.

How seriously you take it might depend on where you live ... I live in Australia.

Listening to this with bone conduction headphones and I can feel the sniff to the very core

*playback begins* *SHNIFF huff* "Ah..." yep it's Zizek

Zizek is the only one i know who tosses in random deutsche Wörter

Zizek is the most terrifying philosopher I've ever heard of.

Which sniffs do you prefer? The sniffs at the start, the middle or the end?

I'm not touching that mic.. ever!

I have panic attacks trying to watch this man 😂

I think he had a point. It went in a lot of different directions and I eventually lost it completely but it was there.

Video starts at 0:04

I wanted to steal her dreams, but there were too many people waiting in line.

Somebody should make a meme about zizek and the people who constantly talk about his sniffing with the "missed the point" Template

i like his thought process because he's very original in his ideas, he's not some hive mind, he has his own unique take even on present matters

And so on and so on

Maybe the advancing glacier is responding to the flow of heat and growing away from main heat output “pipe.” Still, its a good idea to do as little to the earth to generate energy. The work is dangerous and the jobs are romanticized. The need for money has obscured our need for a kind of insurance. If someone might die for me to heat my room, is this a reasonable equation? Solar energy, for example, is a kind of insurance, and insurance is a good idea. Plus, “green” or green energy takes less time and less work to produce. I don’t like typical energy production because I think it invisibly manifests economic control and rigid class structuring. You have a guaranteed work force, which on one hand is good because people will have work, but on the other hand not so good because people might end up trapped and unable to recognize they can do more. Some people will of course be as happy as a clam, but I think again, this may have more to do with being able to provide for themselves rather than job fulfillment. No one is truly totally fulfilled, but dirty work and falsified notions of how happy these people might be are expounded upon by people only on the receiving end. Plus, with reliance on one source there is a restriction on choice. Most people are forced to use typical energy sources. Why does it have to be that way? Furthermore, even if there was no such thing as global warming, why rip through the earth if we don’t have to do it? Some people say solar panels are polluting because they take up land space, but this also has to do with the need to change the designs. Miles and miles of desert can easily become major sites of solar power, and they would be nowhere within view unless you were to fly over them. Imagine if Denver was flooded with solar panels all along route 70 for example. People should have the right to exercise choice without fear of recrimination: this pairs well with a democratic country. The issue with green energy is it has become mired with politics. It’s a good idea that we have energy insurance, that we create work that is unlike jobs such as these that can be dangerous and demoralizing, to leave the earth alone if we don’t have to cut into it, and to move on from debates as to whether not global warming is real to the fact that in the country we are paying for the hazards this energy sources carries in our bills. You may have to pay more so someone else can have running water, why? Why not save money, work cleaner and safer with less exhausted people, and at the very least “rotating the crops.”

"Precisely" Proceed to explain things "imprecisely"

I'm autistic but I'm not dogmatic. At least not in my thinking. My thinking is very nuanced. My behavior however is very dogmatic. I cannot be nuanced in how I behave in public, I have to keep categorically silent or else I will feel compelled to say inappropriate things.

A question for Slovenians. Is Slavoj's way to pronounce the letter "S" the correct way in your language?

the auto generated subtitles think he's speaking dutch

Finally a person with a Nuanced opinion. It feels like fresh air.

It must be uncomfortable, they should give him a new shirt.

perfect

i like that next to the video is a recommended video called: How to speak.

Hi guys, I secretly admire Jordan B. Peterson.

He calls it dogmatism. I would rather call it fundamentalism. Absolutizing one aspect at cost of all the others. Democratic states are either based on finding compromises between different aspects of life or they aren't democratic. I sense a good portion of his Leninist heritage in this statement.

Someone hand Zizek a Benadryl? Hearing him speak, I wish I had a raincoat.

Open chest to Courage smart view inside philosof..modernity Listen to Him

Sniff cough sniff cough - strong opener

It is amusing to see all the people here jumping to ridicule his appearance and mannerism. Expected of most people too. Never underestimate the power of these people in large groups, as Carlin used to say...

I found this video interesting, and so on and so on

And so on
