I've listened to this guy before. It seems to me that he's totally insane and incoherent, but he is interesting to listen to. :)

Presenting facts ... ( 9 months ago by KellyLogan)

Presenting facts and reasonable arguments is not useful in this case. dv222's myth-based ideology won't be affected by fact-based debate. If you want to reach someone like dv222, you have to use emotional rhetoric and connect to mythological touchpoints that dv222 will find more compelling.

Why not try to take one piece of this, like the relationship between the offered choice and the expected answer, listen to it a few times, and see if you can get it?

If you dont get this guy, stop talking untill you do! Hes not a whole lot more "deep" than a 15 year old asking lifes tough questions. He didnt acheive his acclaim by being too deep for the common sheeple.Just listen and listen with the intent of possibly having a little ah ha momment. Hes realy a peoples phillosopher. I know I cant spell.

I don't think it's fair to censor Daney's comment with votes simply because he doesn't yet understand Zizek. I doubt Zizek would approve of such an act. He is meant to be struggled with, no? :)

Reagan is not a Name-of-the-Father. It means truth-- The same truth that the wall could not stand. Then the wall fell. You Lacanians need to study history. The entire Lacanian edifice is supported by the theorization of the human subject through Freud's concept of the unconscious. But the unconscious cannot be defined realized concretely. Nor can the Lacanian Real. Hence it is pseudoscientific nonsense that will fall just like the Berlin wall.

Typical EURO intellectual castratto. The acclaim he gets from likeminded, inefiority-complex-stiken pseudointellectuals, is even more ridiculous than the man himself. Listening to this trash, I congratulate muself for leaving this barren continent of big egos and miniscule consciences. Good luck to all the incarcerated in this republic of phylosophers.

I agree, he is a people's philosopher, but why is this a problem? Without proper clarification this starts to sound rather haughty, wouldn't you agree? Dividing "High Culture" from "Low Culture," just amounts to conscious class division, and calling inquiring minds "sheeple," to reprehensible phariseeism.

Unlike you, peterbojkov. A real genius of the times. I'd like to read one of your books. Maybe one of your papers objecting Zizek.
