Don't get fooled by the media and communist liars, the people who lived in those times are the ones who know the truth: that Salvador Allende was the worst president in the history of Chile.. that drunk, communist national traitor, sinked the country into poverty and misery in record time (2 years), food was being hidden, guns were being all taken by the radical communists, because a civil war was being planned.. This coward killed himself, there's enough proof for that. If the coup didn't happen, and Pinochet didn't took control, Chile wouldn't have become one of the best countries of Latin America by the 90's, instead it would have become another Cuba, another Venezuela, another communist shithole.

20:55 ah ok, so rewatching this part specifically just to get more thoughts on it. I realized another good point to make. It's important to not conflate this moment of Christ's struggle and reconciliation with His own fate as a representation of the Abandonment of Man, or at least be very very clear that we are indeed conflating the two. As far as I understand in the churches I've attended, generally speaking, Christ went through all that so that we don't have to. So Christ was crucified, you could even add in abandoned, if you will, and wrongfully accused and ridiculed, all so that we wouldn't have to pay that price. Jesus paid the ultimate price for our sins so that we don't have to, for it is "by grace, through faith," that we are saved. So yes Christ maybe was abandoned by God in the sense that he could not ecape death (doesn't he escape death because He was resurrected? Christians often claim that Christ conquered death, not was abandoned by God and subjected to Death), but not necessarily, in the sense that he does become spirit and returns to the status that He was prior to birth, Jesus says He was there in Genesis, the first book of the bible, I forget the verse, but also, if He was abandoned would He have been able to save the thief that was crucified next to Jesus on the day of crucifixion? These little details make me question Zizek's understanding of the Bible a bit, or at least how it is taught and perceived, which may affect his views on its impact on people ideologically and the functionality of it(edit; not that I necessarily understand it all comprehensibly), but none the less, I hope the above mentioned provides value to the discussion. Thanks!

Just subscribed, wonderful distillation of Zizek's stance in this cross section of various thinkers and suggestions on where that stands in the spectrum of ideological developments. A question I have as I seek to understand Zizek and figure out my aversion to his articulations, though I am being proven wrong by that aversion as I am learning more about him, is when Zizek sees Christ as being abandoned by God. Is this actually true, or is Zizek interpreting this without context of the rest of the biblical structure? Part of that biblical structure, presumably should include what is taught in churches since that is the effective delivery or lack there of the scripture itself to the masses. I went to Church for about 3 years as a practicing Christian from 2015-2017 then again in 2018 and studied more in 2020. I'm like a half baked Christian. I pray but by no means can I really confidently call myself a Christian in the fact that I know I have not fully given my life to Christ, or fully follow God's will in everything I do. But, with that out of the way, I just want to say in my studies and understanding of that moment where it is just before Christ is about to be crucified, He knows his fate and He goes to God one last time and wishes it weren't so that he had to die for the sake of all human kind in order to irradicate sin by taking it upon himself as the sacrificial Lamb of God. I know there's points in the New Test that indicate where Jesus refers to himself as the Son of Man, but it transitions to His referal to Himself or maybe others referring to Him as the Son of God. If Jesus knows He is the Son of God, King of Kings, at the Right hand of God. I think it's fairly easy to say that Jesus's death is not Jesus being abandoned by God, but returning to God, as His spirit is seen by the disciples later in the Bible, would His spirit have been seen and would Jesus have been resurrected if He was abandoned by God? Maybe I'm missing something here, but I think it's clear as day to say, No. So I think it's safe for me to say that, that interpretation of that moment is false. I see it as Jesus's human self is reconciling with His ultimate understanding of the fact that He is the Son of God and what his destiny is, and that it's not the end. He suggests to his Disciples that it isn't the end and that He will always be with them. I could probably go and find the verses for this, I wish I had the time as I'm on break at work, but I hope this question and mention was sufficient. Keep up the great work, I can't wait to start digging through the other video's you've made. I may even have to watch this one again in case I missed something regarding my question above but also just trying to fully grasp the movement and progression of thought between Lacan and Hegel that you mentioned. Thanks again!

I just saw your video and you gave me a very good idea for art !

10:36 maybe all these places are like this because its the most best way for an audience to view an event

1. 'My kid can do that' really means 'i am jealous that i didn't come up with that idea'. 2. Warhols best art piece is the illusion that he somehow was able to kill art. 3. Art is a dot of truth amidst a sea of lies.

Western philosophy haa run its course.... Except. The scientific method.

u crazy :)

Hail Capitalism!!! Frankfurt School sucks nuts. Marxism is so lame. Diversity and woke is punitive Marxist garbage. The real trash. It’s easy to argue with. It sucks! Leads to gulags. Humans need religion. Humans are not so good anyway. Listen to your parents. Be good. Go to church. This guy is arrogant and it’s a stchtick.

I'm confused is this video sponsored by Gucci or is it just some meta commentary.

"That gap is the reason why you have neuroses - why some people are paranoiacs, narcissists or psychotics. (Stay away from them)." Wow. It's awful you would say this after studying Lacan of all people. "Gardez-vous de comprendre." When Lacan speaks of neuroticism and psychosis, it's not meant as a label, and most definitely not as a way to know who to stay away from. It's the opposite. The main reason why an analyst will consider someone's structure (i.e. not a diagnosis) is to help figure out how to approach that person. Knowing whether someone is obsessive-compulsive or schizophrenic (from a Lacanian point of view) won't give you a clear manual on how to help them (like the DSM might strive to be - a diagnostic tool to find the best treatment). Nor does it tell you anything about the merit or 'danger' of this person. It's only meant to offer you an abstract logic (structure) to keep in mind while figuring out the idiosyncratic logic of a person. The aim is to figure out how the different registers (IRS) are (not) interconnected (the 'Borromean knots') - and how that shows up in their life, in its disruptions and the subject's solutions. A concrete example could be asking (challenging) questions, or looking someone in the eyes while speaking, etc. What works well for person A, might appear threatening to person B. And reversely, what feels safe for person B might come across as confusing for person A. The general logic would be that someone with a neurotic structure acts from their own lack. Their desires and its relation to others or the Other is an important drive. But someone with a psychotic structure acts more from a sense that others or the Other desire something from them (making them feel watched, pursued, threatened, ...). The analogy with trauma is fitting, it can also create a distrust of the Other/others, a rupture wherein the Real becomes overpowering. Psychotics are considered to lack the Symbolic order that helps us deal with the chaos of the Real (the 'Name-of-the-Father') that helps create a sense of 'Reality' out of the three registers. Which is not to say that everyone with a psychotic structure has full-blown "psychotic" episodes, they might have found other solutions to deal with the chaos and the enigma of the Real. But still you notice while speaking to them that they say things that sound like they could be on psychedelics (but they never were), they have magical thinking, or maybe they have built their comprehension of the world so strongly around one thing (work, art...) as if it were their life line... Their own way to create 'order' in the chaos. But there's nothing inherently bad about a psychotic structure and no reason to assume that they would be more harmful than a neurotic person. It allows for creativity and ways of thinking that are more free from the constraints of a given Symbolic order. The issue is the (mis)understanding, not the person.

Me. (Lobster daddy at your service.)

I love how these are great videos for newbies- but that on top of that, they are even more enjoyable for those of us who’ve studied these thinkers and can catch the humor in them. 👌

4 years late but I absolutely love your content, humor and the cool visuals, they help a WHOLE lot. Also not sure if anyone's mentioned it but a big thank you for writing the captions too, I'm sure it took a lot of time to complete. Truly one of the best creators/teachers of philosophy on here.

Conclusion is that the horse-shoe IQ meme is real

dude i want to citate you in a pryect for my university abour cybernetics, do you have any papers i can go trough? saludos de chile

this video makes sense

best video of this channel

"its only so often hyper reality whips you in the face with a synthetic ponytail" 😂😂😂😂😂

This video pulled the rug from under me and now i am insane. I don't think i've ever watched anything scarier. Thanks. (btw buddhism is founded on this whole vibe: śūnyatā refers to the tenet that "all things are empty of intrinsic existence and nature (svabhava)") and the whole philosophy is looking for a search for how to escape this problem of 'desire' that you go off in your first video.

Interesting, I'll have to check out The Mona Lisa Curse(I found it), In regards to art being dead, monetary value will always kill it.

I’ve already had an existential crisis and attempted to assemble some of that by way of a pointless comment. But I will also say thank you for making this. It is heartbreaking having this history laid bare in such a way but we should all be grateful you gave it to us. Solidarity ❤

Like, this isn’t the point. But in my lowest ebb when I despair at the hellscape we exist in right now, and fantasising about how our world could have been different; this was done, in no small part so a corporation could sell a fucking soda. Soda. I feel ill. We are all sick because of this technofeudalistic nightmare. I hope beyond hope for change. Some days I’m sure I sense it coming. Other days I sob with exhaustion. Love to all my comrades ❤

Wttttffff... "Objectifying people feels like a compliment". So forced and completely laking of feminist theory. I am facepaliming myself Picard style. Dude... this phenomenon is basically the core of gender based violence. You can't be so simplistic in proposing this argument. Oh, yeas, but you are.

To justify the misfitting error of philosophical thought with the social critique of devaluing women's bodies and beings is completely wrong from the start. The video would have stood very well without the introduction. And fyi a better critique you find in New Materialist philosophical work. This kind of critical thought can only be produced by a male intellectual within a patriarchal ideological system. I am deeply disappointed of this take.

As a matter of fact, you and your videos are far better than Baudrillard. I saw him here em Belo Horizonte in 1999. Oh, a friend of mine said: "contemporary French philosophy, based on stilts".

thanks..no really thanks 😃

Awesome video, thanks!!

Its shows how stupid people are who buy his stuff. They the crazy ones

The different parts- the defenses- are like Internal Family Systems the Protectors. IFS is actually a pretty effective form of therapy and lines up nicely with Lacan if you think about it.

More videos on Lacan !!!!!!!!

"You need God for that. There is only value. And value is an act of creation. Of "will to power". So things are not just things; They are moments of value." WOW, THIS IS REAL-PHILOSOPHICAL BRAINBARF-SPEAK FOR VALUE IS AN ATTRIBUTED PROPERTY. (Which any 4 year old can explain to you, only understandably.)

"There are things." - PROVE IT! ^^

Bottom line: the feces have a flipside.

"is this depressing?" hmm, let's see. it makes me wanna kill myself every time i think about it long enough, so yeah i think so

Dang, you really peaked years ago. Like everyone else with earrings and emo-scene haircuts, I guess. Shame.

For me this is well put forward after Fred - Frye, Desmets, Arendt, jung... Identity are the stories other people tell, that you believe... Mythos are your stories, that you tell and live. If we do not tell our own story we risk being a reactionary - ressentiment - reacting in the present to what happened in the past... Trauma - which is a form of the German word for Dream ;) We must stop carrying traditions(peer pressure from people long gone) and create for ourselves our own self - our stories - The precursor to Jung;s Individuation....

Objectification is some subconscious addiction proceess. Women become a thing to want more and more of ... Even though its completely pointless; just like everything else in life. Its a means to an end; its just truth.

Everyone's objectified. Youre turned into something everyone want to fill some sort of desire that never ends. The psyche just wants more of something; its an addiction

I'm Roman Catholic, and I can't help but intuit this void is the result of the fall of man, it's the void that exists as a result of our separation from God.

"Who's next, to be marked with those red triangles?" A lot of Zionist genocidaires!

i know its not exactly your field, and especially not what you seem to be trying to work on with this channel, but will there ever be something on spinoza? maybe even deleuze on spinoza, idk. or maybe is there something on your patreon?

Dude, your assessment is spot-on. Artists' statements about themselves never seem to be taken at face value. If he says there's nothing behind the surface, I believe him. I think he just did what he wanted to do, and people built a myth around him. If there's any genius to him, it's in the revelation that what we value now is emptiness.

this just got extremely relevant

and then the government wonder why we don't want to have children

thx If I'd read the book I wouldn't've understood it so well on my own

Fire. Unapologetically sympathetic and to Allende and the Chilean Revolution. Punchy and to the point without forgetting to make space to show the grotesque reality for exactly what it is. This medium absolutely has cultural power and this is wielding it well. I hope you keep making content in this style/model around all kinds of pertinent subjects. Lord knows there’s no shortage of horrors need’n exposed in this here dyin’ ašș, 40 year old, Mountain Dew and “rollin’ coal”, așș empire 😂 Get em, comrade!

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU
