Zizek: "You are all individuals"
Crowd: "We are all individuals"
This is horrible...


just wondering if you know why they are repeating what the speaker is saying,
but yes that is ironic

Anglo-slavic lateral lisp?

I do believe he has the same first 5 row warning as Gallagher, on the tickets.

BTW, only the introduction of Slavoj is subtitled (spoken in Dutch, I believe), The rest of the talk is in english.


"The rest of the talk is in English."

But seriously, aside from the space-age video that strikes me as a little sci-fi the man is an empathic genius! (Perhaps the sci-fi video is suitable, we are entering a very strange time).

BTW, only the introduction of Slavoj is subtitled (spoken in Dutch, I believe), The rest of the talk is in english.

"This guy" being Slavoj Žižek, I find it hard to listen to him for more than 30 seconds at a time.

she comes from the same town as me (her mom's my neighbour:), I was at her book presentation two months ago. she used to be married to slavoj žižek, another famous lacanian

^Exactly, and all this video is really doing is answering a 'question' which the religious use to mock or talk down atheists. They say 'if you don't believe in our god, then you don't believe in anything'.
It's an incredibly narrow minded and infuriating comment. It's coming from this world view of they know everything and if you don't subscribe to their world view then you are an ignorant fool who doesn't believe anything.
Argh... so very annoying.

I'm sure there are more but these are the videos that discuss different types of atheism and what they believe in.

----------

The point I am making is that these videos are not gonna change anyone's mind, the people who these videos are marketed too NEVER WATCH them and if they do it's just to find ammo against you. If they don't find any ammo they just move on.

This video is just self serving, it gives atheists re-affirmation that their beliefs are sound and let them feel there is nothing to worry about with some nice piano music. Do you really need to watch this to feel better? I hope not because my understand of atheists, and one of the best parts about them, is they stand their own ground when confronted with the nonsense of religion.

If I'm not understanding the target audience please let me know. Because as far as I can see the Bible Movement has their talking points that I constantly get harassed with, and these videos are the atheist counter talking points for you to really stick it to them! Nothing more fun than proving a religious nut has poor logic! Or worse, this is just atheist ammo to harass me with.

Part 2 of the interview deals with the current state of affairs:

As I mentioned in the previous thread, violations of international law and human rights require recognition, but also important are the myriad ways in which life is systematically degraded for the people in Gaza:

Part 2 brings us up to speed with the current state of affairs:

The entire debate and discourse is simply fascinating.

This excerpt is taken from a debate between philosophers Bernard-Henri Lévy and Slavoj Žižek on the modern Left. For the complete video, visit: http://fora.tv/2008/09/16/Violence__the_Left_in_Dark_Times_A_Debate

1. I like to think I make the internets a better place by submiting quality videos (because everyone needs an excuse for wasting all that time on one site)
2. sometimes I do fall for that "who'll submit this digg-ed video first" frenzy. it's that feeling you get when you beat Zifnab to the ZPR embed... not that I ever did, but it's the best example of what I'm trying to say. especially in the beginning when climbing the vs hierarchy was still fun (cause with each step you got new *toys, of course). but often it's not even intentional. I just happen to spend a lot of time browsing different video aggregators but I never post videos only because they're popular and I know they might get a lot of votes.
3. I post videos on topics I feel are not represented enough on the sift and/or stuff I like but nobody else seems to appreciate.
4. yes, I do. my themes are:
- flying (also an almost childish fascination with jet fighters)
- jazz musicians I really like
- good slovenian music
- other stuff that originates from my local background, geographicaly or otherwise; anything from music, cinema, arts to interesting sights... also a lot of Slavoj Žižek
5. not intentionaly. but then, maybe my videos do describe me better than my balkan english ever could (I feel awkward using english, that's why I usualy keep my comments short:)
