it's good, but i prefer the live stuff

having seen them all, i am happy to recommend:
Slavoj Zizek - Politeness and Civility in the Function of Contemporary Ideology

on youtube here:

The live stuff is quite good. The only modern thinker in popular culture I admit to being a peer.

Him and Rick Roderick, but he's dead.

2 cents: For what it is worth, I found that Lacan bit the concept of the Mirror stage from Merleau-Ponty. errr.. yeah

Surely he's only a peer if he says the same of you?

Or you're file sharing with him.

Tramdriver- Whatevs lolcock. He's the business.

Mongi. Shut up.

peer1   /pɪər/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [peer] Show IPA
–noun 1. a person of the same legal status: a jury of one's peers.
2. a person who is equal to another in abilities, qualifications, age, background, and social status.
3. something of equal worth or quality: a sky-scraper without peer.
4. a nobleman.
5. a member of any of the five degrees of the nobility in Great Britain and Ireland (duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron).
6. Archaic. a companion.

Number three is where I'm going with this one.

The only modern thinker in popular culture I admit to being a peer.

Holy shit that's awesome.

It is pretty awesome indeed. Show some respect for the Zizek.

Then you are misusing it.

You actually probably mean number two, in which case, you're wrong

Nope.

You're just a fucking idiot.

If I WAS using it in the snese of number two, then it would be right on the first part, wrong on the latter four.

Modi. You. Are. Stupid. There's no chance you can work this shit out so don't even bother.

No, you are wrong. He is not your equal.

You are not his.

That's as simple as it can be.

In a way, it's not surprising that you think Zizek is your peer. He is the pop culture intellectual version of a troll.

Although it is funny that BADALEX thinks he's equivalent to a Marxist Philosopher.

No, you are wrong. He is the only modern thinker who comes close.

I am his.

It's as simple as it can be, only you are a) far too stupid b) far too pathetic and c) far too stuck in your ways to ever contemplate the possibility that I have been fucking with you the entire time.

You're not very bright mongi. You know this. I know this. You've been spending so long trying to convince people that you're clever that you never actually bothered to work on becoming wise.

You're....simply a buffoon and nothing more.

I, on the other hand...well. I'm the greatest philosopher of the age.

To put it another way...you can't touch this.

Never will, never can.

You just. Don't. Get it.

I, on the other hand...well. I'm the greatest philosopher of the age.

Amazing

A few weeks ago he said he was one of the great minds of our time. I can't remember which thread it was in.

Hard to tell if he's taking the piss or mentally damaged, but maybe that's half his MO.

(alex I mean, not zizek)

I gave up trying to figure that out ages ago, though if it's mental damage I probably shouldn't laugh

''Stop eating paint.''
- Slavoj Zizek

Oh hell tangy, you make of it whatever you like!

As Matt Pheonix did point out, you chats do get me completely wrong pretty much all of the time, so to put it bluntly, by being as stupid as you are, you're providing quite a positive service as far as I'm concerned.

Life is a little tricky at the moment, so comedy is always welcome.

Of course, it is a mark of the quality of your intelligence, general cognition and level of spirit that you haven't actually contemplated whether or not the statement is accurate.

I am taking the piss out of you people most of the time, but I have found that one of the best ways to take the piss out of chats is to simply tell them the truth and then watch them go crazy.

Much as modi once sent me a message saying ''NO WAY DO YOU GET DISTINCTIONS, NO WAY!'' the general chat attitude of denial is something that I always find immensely amusing and goes a long way to proving one of my philosophical arguments.

So.

All to the good really.

The difference between Zizek and my very good self...is that he gets paid to do what he does and thus produces a higher quality of work at the end of the day. As I am somewhat financially disadvantaged, I'm hardly in a position to publish any of my works.

Oh well.

untold/animals- Yeah, he stole that one from me, but that's okay, I'm hip to it.

Much as modi once sent me a message saying ''NO WAY DO YOU GET DISTINCTIONS, NO WAY!''

Don't feel special. Modi sent that to everyone.

Oh, nothing about modi makes me feel special. He's like one of those guys in physics class that's really fucking stupid and says the dumbest shit because he thinks it makes him sound clever while everone in the class groans until someone cracks and stabs him with a pencil while screaming ''WE KNOW AN ELECTRON ISN'T LIKE A BILLIARD BALL! WE KNOW IT'S A FUCKING WAVE PACKET! WE DID THAT IN SECOND YEAR YOU FUCKING COCKNECK! SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!''

Anyway. You? It's orn! AT THE TRAIN STATION!

Er...see other thread. Which isn't created yet but will be soon.

What's the occasion?

yeah, details please!

Opera House?

Festival of Dangerous Ideas?

Yep.

@#$@#%^%^%^$ overseas then :-(

I bet you feel a bit like this.

Mostly the front guy.

yeah, and a little bit of this:

Not discounting the possibility of this:

are these all Slavoj's sons?

He keeps a harem of bears.

he's a salty one!

but here's a link to a recent discussion between Slavoj and Julian Assange.

absurdly python-esque moment around 45 mins when zizek relays a jewish-american joke to the proceedings. by god, i laughed a few gallstones out.

wow, zizek, what a scenester cunt. what that guy won't do to make some dollaz.

I've worked it out...

Zizek is BADALEX

Just a reminder.

hillsonghoods said about 2 years ago:

Zizek quote from the Guardian. Fucking legend.

Once, a student approached me in the US, when I was still teaching a class – which I will never do again – and he told me: 'You know, professor, it interested me what you were saying yesterday, and I thought, I don't know what my paper should be about. Could you please give me some more thoughts and then maybe some idea will pop up.' Fuck him! Who I am to do that?

Quite enjoying this twitter account.

Zizek became really popular huh... the doco was pretty poor... MY GOD!
