Hahaha that made me smile

for me this is philosophy in a traditional sense, take a point and start drawinf extending and contracting circles around it. many viewpoints of the same point.

This is exactly how I love to travel the shelves of libraries.

He was right too, there was no trigger warning for any of the things he said. If anyone is triggered by what he said then maybe they should stay home next time, no one wants them around.

Yeah, I mean, it wasn’t like he went into the kind of detail that needed trigger warnings. Now, if he was going to get into some extreme details that went beyond the joke, like say for whatever reason he was to go into the brutal rape of women in concentration camps in any kind of detail, then I would understand him seriously issuing a trigger warning (though the thought of him seriously doing so is comical to me, I almost can’t take it seriously). Point being, trigger warnings are fine to use in certain contexts, maybe even very appropriate to use in some contexts, but even outside of the silly, right wing, stereotypical joke on trigger warnings, there are some people in some spaces that do go overboard with the concept and/or their usage... As someone with PTSD, who knows very well what it’s like to literally be triggered, and to immediately go into a state of hyper anxiety, panic and often flashbacks to the trauma that caused the PTSD, and all of this something that you can’t just stop from happening once the stimulus has been perceived, I can tell you that being triggered in this clinical sense is pretty fucking awful, and unfortunately I wasn’t able (or perhaps willing) to understand the purpose and point of trigger warnings until I experienced severely traumatic circumstances that led to PTSD, and then experienced what it’s actually like to be triggered in a variety of circumstances. The entire project of being considerate of people who have this problem, which is what a trigger warning is actually for, is incredibly admirable imo, and I can say from experience that said warning, *and being able to at least anticipate said stimulus, as opposed to being surprised/caught off guard, does actually make a difference.* That said, this considerate move on the part of certain good faith actors has, imo, been taken to an extreme in certain cases, and/or (more specifically) has lead to some unrealistic expectations from sometimes unreasonable people (usually students), as if trigger warnings, or content warnings, can or should be universally accepted, applied, etc, and unfortunately this has (imo) lead to some problematic behaviors, and so on.. Trigger warnings are a tool, and they have a specific purpose, but their use is limited for a wide variety of reasons, and anyone acting in good faith accepts this, and is reasonable about it. Anyway, I’ve a feeling everyone who’s commented in this thread upto this point likely agrees with what I’m saying, and/or has heard all this before, and likely, generally, share my views on this bc we likely, generally, overlap in sociopolitical outlook. I’m speaking for someone who may come across this thread, perhaps someone more right leaning, or generally opposed to the concept of trigger warnings/content warnings, or maybe even a JBP fan who’s exploring Zižek, post-April’19 debate, etc, and so on.. I’m more interested in offering up an actual nuanced and reasonable view of the concept, and why it’s not simply nonsensical or coddling, while still admitting that any honest look at their use, especially in certain university contexts, has been wrought with some problematic attitudes and behaviors. There will always be bad faith, and/or confused, and/or irrational, and/or mistaken people who ruin good things, and/or misuse them, and so on. That’s never been any reason to throw out the baby with the bath water, is the point. So if you’re reading this and you’re the type who’s generally against trigger warnings, take a step back and consider the actual utility, value, and intention in actually using them as a tool for folks with PTSD in certain contexts where some rather serious issue is being explored. I’m not saying you should accept the ridiculous use, overuse, etc, or even that you should accept their use at all; I’m saying you should consider the nuances, and maybe attempt to sympathize or empathize with someone who actually has PTSD (as opposed to a “snowflake”, or whatever). Cheers ❤️🏴♾

Actually it's bullshit from start to finish

For me, he makes many a great point, but all of us make statements that could be considered BS, especially people who are involved in, and in front of the public, and doing public speaking. There's certain things and/or attitudes I disagree with but I primarily enjoy his mind and appreciate his thinking because it provocates me and tickles the sociological bone

​@John Swift your narrow mind perceives what he says as 'bullshit' because you struggle to conduct critical thinking for yourself, perhaps because you are scared to accept what he says has a lot of bearing and truth to it.

What I find fascinating is that his prepared, written down speeches, sound a lot like his improvised comments.

@@Horus... Don't be so patronizing. Language connects cultures and it's always amazing to see someone being such an eloquent speaker in a foreign language. It's a sign of respect, and a compliment to the culture the language has cultivated, that the foreigner is willing to learn and speak the language to a level most natives can't even compare to.

Google made me do it you’re right in that my previous comment was not the nicest, it was obnoxious, which is why I deleted it. however, it’s unnecessary to put the action of speaking a foreign language in terms of respect, otherwise it will bring out the issue of valuation thereby making the whole contrasting situation inevitably patronising, in other words, you cannot speak about respect without having pre-established precepts of what is respectable and why it is respectable.

@@Horus... Let me put it this way, it's flattering. Flattery often amounts to mutual respect.

Google made me do it The flattery point it’s totally understandable, I’m almost touched by it.(no sarcasm). The thing is if you deal with this matter in terms of respect, you fall down the rabbit hole of patronising. Simply because speaking English is something of a mandate, as it is with any lingua Franca, people “have to” speak English as they would speak Mandarin should things turn around in the International balance of power. I mean, you do your best with the hand you’re dealt, it doesn’t mean the House has any respect whatsoever, so long as they keep coming, “the House always wins”, they just watch in contempt.

From a fixed, biased perspective of an organism that fucks, eats and shits? And you think it's going to be accurate? I personally think we put shit in boxes to make ourselves feel better about how small we really are. Let me ask you something. Have you ever thrown a football? Did you have to do the insane calculations that it would take for your body to be able to act in accordance to propel such an object? Angle, velocity, how much muscle performance is needed for the exact distance and height of the throw? Or did you just feel it out?

@@agnesbajka6784 Zizek would respond by saying "Don't patronize me and so on. I am well aware that I am filthy and sniff a lot and so on and so forth but I simply - to put it bluntly - don't care!"

Read his books. It's not beyond understanding.

Same here!

An inspiration to all of us weirdos

Not really an allergy but a nervous tic disorder, most likely caused by neuroticism according to Zizek himself.

Chomsky is a charlatan

I am going to watch as many lectures as possible and I will be happy to discuss my UKposts education and it's real life results.

@@actanonverba91 same lol

they are both relatively charlatanical if you see it like that, they just approach global affairs from compeltely different angles, but they discuss things differently, chomsky is embroiled very much in american politics and international USA>global affairs, and Slavoj, well, if you can listen to the whole thing and just see and hear past the weird bits then you can have some empathy for him and forgive his misgivings (age related? :D) but the gist of the thing overall is good, if you can see past the funny parts, then probably you will understand the hope in his lectures, although a self-described pessimist, he is more of a realist, and strangely enough often he just has a good eye for culture/society and our lives as we live them week to week, and thats why he makes a sort of good philospher, because he catches well that essence of life on earth in the 21st century week-to-week, those subtle changes.... despite his pessimism, his talks usually leave me with hope, which is also why i think he is liked and why others like him to talk too..

but chomsky is strangely deluded in his own way too, and quite narrow-focused, of course with the usual delusion that many many reaching things are being talked about, but still stuck in a very small world. zizek may be deluded too, but for some reason the comic factor of communist relvolution is quite good ;-)

You got his point: that is how ideology works..

Very nicely phrased critique, haha. Yeah, I agree, he treats his philosophical talks as a 'set', much the same way a comedian does. He's really done amazingly well to carve out this niche for himself.

My compliments! One of the few moments that a internet-commentator really argues in relation to the content and without any hate or vulgar speech!

Peet Sho I think he was addressing the particle-wave duality in quantum physics, and also the fact that stuff there behaves probabilistically and not deterministically". Apparently he has also consulted this with friends who are physicists.

@@hmena9934 hmm I would say wave only, a defined perturbation in a quantum field is still wave phenomenon that's how you get the heisenberg principle of uncertainty, it is implicit in how waves behave. You can still call it a particle-wave duality but it isn't necessary.

It is about how quantum information works, he should've talked about the The Copenhagen Interpretation of Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg. It is a deeper phenomenon than physics, it goes to the realm of the behavior of information.
