Comparing Western philoshophy to other civilizations specifically Eastern philoshophy is like talking to a Master Engineer about your local wallmart shop mechanic
Inspect the architecture of the Paul VI Audience Hall. Symbols tell more than 1000 words. And what creature is coming out of Jesus' head? sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2017/news/12/17/121717_pope.jpg
The liberal order will not end, it will just be limited to the West, imo. In other words the so called superiority of western values , rules n ideals are a myth. Time has proven that they suck for the most part.
this hasnt aged well, from an old German Business man (who did business with China USA and lots of EU Countries in the past 40years) let me tell you: This shows the whole problem on this planet! Arrogant Western selfproclained "Intellectuals" try to teach the former "Colonies" what Democrazy (i wrote this wrong on purpose) is and how they have to behave. Political Correctness, LTGBQ, and the woke Mob shows that Democrazy is a farce, the same Elites talk over the plebs like Marie Antoinette in french Revolution: let them eat Cake. Nothing has changed. Real Freedom doesnt exist in EU ( better in USA freedom of speech, but under attack). Fact today: Russia China India Africa and the whole Middle and South America will get their revenge and depending on the political Leaders its will not be funny for us. We are on the brink of WW3! What i can do, is to tell my sisters and brothers... the average person in the west didnt vote for this. We are in the same boat. Let us not divide us! We have different culture but the same blood. We want a family and care abt our children, we want PEACE. We are not interested to steal from others so we are rich and they are poor.. THIS happend in the past by our ancestors, and we the Europeans KNOW it by education and understanding History. All i can say : I am sorry it happend, i am voting against anything like this! Please dont repeat our mistakes in the future! LEARN FROM IT!
And some funny Ghanaian would listen to Prof. Soyinka and the Rev. From Ghana and still tell you that Ghanaian English is better than Nigerian English. How?😂
So important view! We are so scared of what made us that we go around searching for other cultures symbols and cultures to explain what we are 🤣 he’s point is Real!
Slavoj Zizek's time perspective is apocalyptic. His attitude may differ from human psychology regarding attitudes to time perspectives in general. While human psychology is mechanical, Zizek's framework is wonderfully constructed if not by multiple synthesis; by a dialectic process without opportunist jumps. So does human psychology appropriate opportunism, or is such a charge not empathetic to fact?
Hello rverybody. To me, there is something fucked up about all these arguments aka debates. They should assign an equal amount of time for everyone to speak and have a time constraint referee.
America is a land of nomads where no one can call anything or anywhere a home. The values of liberalism lead is the freedom to be alone, estranged from tradition and purpose. Americans are lost in a land they cannot call their own. They, therefore, are forced into to the "freedoms of the market" where all value is reduced to monetary value. Liberalism is soulless.
I don’t know how old Eric Li is but in my lifetime China has invaded Vietnam, seized territorial waters belonging to Indonesia and the Philippines, fought border wars with India, and massacred its own people in Tiananmen Square. In the decade before I was born they invaded Tibet and sent their soldiers to intervene in the Korean War to save an ally that had attacked South Korea and was losing. Amidst all that we have the perennial threats against Taiwan. Now, perhaps Mr. Li was not taught the full breath of history at school. That does not excuse him from learning as an adult.
I agree 100% with the Eric Li. He doesn't use pretentious or "hard to understand" language, he goes straight to the point. The french guy is stuck in the 1990s with the "end of history" narrative I couldn't understand the american guy he just wanted to mention Taiwan for some reason which had nothing to do with the topic
Is this guy for real,a secular country has the lowest crime rate,lowest abortion,lowest STI ,lowest pregnancies,😅😅. But religious countries are worse 😮..he is delusional and keeps going on about America the biggest criminals on the planet😅😅
Fascinating. All these folks...who's fledgling civilizations are ALREADY collapsing yet are ALL engaged in forever-wars...admonishing a representative from a country...that has existed for millennia...and that has pulled 800 million humans out of poverty while engaging in no wars (for decades). Yet...these same folks insist THEIR ideology is the basis of human freedom and one that should be exported everywhere🤯
Teaching in a T-Shirt! I just love this dude! I imagine he took a couple of whiffs of that shirt that morning, shrugged, "Good enough." And he's off to the conference.
Oy. This is what you get when irrepressible egos think they can just merrily blabber on about science or music or painting. I'd be curious to know; can Zizek can even read a score?
America spreads war and prosperity..... Europe just spreads war. Unfortunately Europeans are very violent and need to be dominated by Pax America for its own good. America is far from perfect, but it offers a better deal than Europe
Sadly Europeans like to fight amongst themselves which led to two world wars. Then Europe was esclipsed by Russia and the US. So apart from uniting Europe what other choice is there ..of course Britain fears it will lose out so it is against a united Europe, but Britain is hardly a glowing example of democracy
The arrogance and bias of the west are on full display. Obviously they have very little knowledge of China. Their assertions are so laughable. Just look at the current state of the west and the United States, what bad governance had done to these countries and their society, and you compare them to China's. If you've been to China you'll be astonished by their developments, the big contrast. The west should learn to look at themselves. And if you've been to China's Xinjiang, you know these people are talking nonsense, many people are being brainwashed by the western media. China has been wronged by the western media for so many years.
