Slavoj Zizek on levels of stupidity (extract) 

Hell, the sense is what you want ? A meaning ? A background where to build upon idiotic interpretation's ? Meaning is for weenies, I claim.

if you are not well read on philosophy you obviously will not understand his references.

@@yayo0 Please enlighten us, professor.

@@lucasfabisiak9586 To Be Fair, You Have To Have a Very High IQ to Understand Zizek...

@@lucasfabisiak9586 for once he already explains this and builds more on it in the very beginning of his book "Less Than Nothing." Now, this is particularly is more of a classic zizek being zizek, just humour, although it does tie down and give nuance to following ideas in the introduction and later in the book as well so that's that. Also comparing Zizek to Christopher Nolan is like comparing Lacan to Michael Bay, very wrong, totally different types of incoherence are at play

Then we have the parrots who never muster up the courage to speak themselves, but simply repeat what others have said before them with the assuring certainty that their (but actually someone else’s) statement has been pre-approved by the masses.

@@zestyfg I wholeheartedly agree 👍 😊

Thanks.

​@Mike Fuller How many IQ points were you off by?

If I understand him correctly, Zizek is saying that although Kafka was certainly aware of his Jewishness, he did not explicitly incorporate it into his work.

🤣 we are all stupid

@@lucasfabisiak9586 He did though, unconsciously. You cannot separate Kafka from his Jewishness or his Jew-as-outsider outlook on the world.

​@@collaborativedataaccounts3249Thank you for clarifying what "explicitly" means.

@@collaborativedataaccounts3249 I think he incorporated his Jewishness both unconsciously and consciously (read "Jackals and Arabs" for a conscious example), but never explicitly in his fiction. Inexplicit and unconscious aren't mutually exclusive.

What does Zizek have to do with German literature?

"we generate people that talk a whole lot who say a whole lot of nothing" Sorry, sir! I'll remember to speak in pure logic like a true Englishmen who follows Russel & Whitehead would!

i understand what he's saying he just usually goes on tangents and talks a lot
