Opinions on Zizek
Nov 7 2008
I love how he connects disparate strains of politics and pop culture, usually in humorous ways. I also like how he says the most audacious and offensive things imaginable (although sometimes I fear he is being serious and not just facetious.)
That said I totally disagree with his Ontology. I do like how he advocates for a return to the Lacanian Real, but I find his promotion of ideological praxis and a return to Cartesian dualism to be a regression to leftist dogmatism and the estrangement of Reason from body and physical interaction in a material reality.

That is what I said. The abstract notions of reason that developed from the Cartesian estrangement of Mind from Body, Intangible from Tangible, is oppressive.

Yes, but isn't the Ecludian Paradox pertinent to this claim? Wouldn't the praxis be bogged down by unnecessary cortexian neutrality? The ego would by automation fuse the mind and spirt to restore itself! Can't you see?!

The guy is a green party ass. Probably one of the most narcistic people doing the political circuit today, and that's really a feat with all the competition out there. Mostly makes vacuous jokes, his public speaking is like a night at a bourgeois salon with a naughty boy telling risque jokes to blue-haired women. Has absolutely whacky ideas on Leninism. Is too stupid to realize he is being heckled.

Why don't you just wear a vagina on your head and be done with it?

I can see what people mean by libcommunity overflowing into the other forums.
Can you repeat that in english? Also, I thought you thought reason was oppressive?
