What's he talking about?

Zizek's secret is to write gigantic tomes that nobody reads, but pretend to in order not to look dumb.

Absolutely nothing, he is a degenerate trying to make sense of the world the best he can, but failing terribly at it, like most philosophers. The fanbase consists mostly of young adults that hate reality, and dwell in fantasy as a form of coping with the harshness of everyday existence.

these posts have become terminally, terminally fucking boring

ontological incompleteness, OP. reality is a positively charged void in which the Hegelian spirit works its retroactive magic. the transcendent God died on the cross, there is no such thing as unmediated access to reality, and Good is the transgression of evil

When he asked Jordan Peterson to "name the cultural Marxists", I think he was talking about the Jews.

>I find reality boring, so I fantasize about obscure ideas of magic to spice my boring as fuck life up

Get over yourself, cunt. Take LSD, and learn math if you want real magic.

Can you explain more of what you mean by the transcendent God dying on the cross? The extravertedness of western theology is what would presumably enable a physical, literal dying. The inward transcendence of eastern theology remains entirely unfazed by this concept.

Once again warmed up marxism.

Zizek believes Christ was the transcendent Other that died forever on the cross, and that the Holy Spirit is nothing but the community of love immanent to Being, that love grounded in God is purely performative and has no other reality except in the minds of those who act "as if" there is a God that grounds that love.

As for Buddhism, he says Buddhism can't think the recoil of the Void that makes even enlightenment impermanent; the "ground" of Being isn't a blissful emptiness but a Void whose negativity is so extreme it can only bounce off its own impossibility into Being = Something = or, Less Than Nothing. He says that life isn't a positive island in the sea of the zero, but less than zero itself, a negative phenomenon of a negative void.

What would the negativity of the ground of being imply for buddhist transcendence? In what sense is it impermanent?

[Anonymous No.15967021]

>>15966286
This.

[Anonymous No.15967093]

>>15966998
Zizek's point is that the Void is self-negating, it "transgresses" itself by becoming something less than itself (Being). To stay in that state permanently would be like holding your breath, sooner or later the deadlock of negativity is going to force you to the surface.

I don't think he ever made a complete point in his entire life.

Isn't that kinda the gist of hegelianism?

His most basic premise it that liberal capitalism can't deal with the coming future crises of climate change, AI, etc. and that supernational structures are needed to deal with them. Everything else is just kinda little observations.
