@Derek White Just seeing that thumbnail pic made me double check where my kids are. 

@Nahm Did they run away when uncle Zizek started spitting or when uncle Peterson told them to “go clean your room!” ? ?

His lisp disgusts me and his neurosis gives me anxiety.

That says more about you than it does about him.

That was more of joke.

Okay, maybe I do get anxiety because of his neurosis. Idk, maybe I need to be more open minded and accepting.

@Derek White I was wrong. Turns out they were intrigued and are now trying to convince me it’s the right time for the household structure to move to a more even equity position. (8&9)

You mean Jordan Peterson?

Zizek is more conscious and less neurotic than Peterson.

[Derek White]

@Leo Gura Oh look, even Zizek doesn’t like his tics. 

“What is your most unappealing habit?

‘The ridiculously excessive tics of my hands while I talk.’“

Here’s a nice interview:

Maybe he has got Stalin's pictures in his Ljubljana apartment, but that is for scaring his visitors off (if we could believe him on that).

? that’s actually true Lol

Apparently there is a feud between Chomsky and Zizek. ?‍♂️?

Chomsky doesn't like metaphysics. And both Chomsky and Zizek are wrong about metaphysics.

That's what you get for being an academic philosopher.

@Leo Gura I wonder if these intellectuals ever read J Krishnamurti and what they thought of him, or do they actively ignore those people? ??

Reading it doesn't mean getting it.

Zizek is well aware of Buddhism and Christianity, but his mind is not able to understand what is really being pointed to, because it is too closed.

i hardly made the sit through the first twenty something minutes of peterson - he does not even take into account any processes of timely development. he does not compute how the psyche and life of the people then was in comparison to the psyche and life of the people today. there is no timeline no development he talks as if the knowledge of today was the same as the knowledge then. his polemic is personal toned, he talks more about that  he dislikes, than what he dislikes and why. no word about what he liked. it’s so self contradictory.

i could not even concentrate on the details of the criticism enough because that grasped all of my attention.

Yea, watched it two times, it was quite enjoyable.

It was interesting to observe how the hardcore ends of communities reacted to this. You first got the ends of - this is the debate of the TITOns, one will destroy the other, like some green and blue tossing shadows to each other. And after it was done many of them to which it clicked that it wasn't much of a debate, they actually agreed to a high degree on most of the things being discussed. They puked an orange shadow upon them, oh, they weren't here to debate, it was all for business......it was weirdly enjoyable to see this.
