Amazing. Multiculturalism is maybe a form of racism. So many good points, hilarious as usual. Recently, watched Perverts Guide to Cinema while on acid and laughed so much. Zizek tickles me so.

Our form of capitalism is changing our lives like the products in which it relies. The point, coffee without caffeine, beer without alcohol, smokeless cigarettes... our society is continuing on a path of becoming hallow, without substance. If I am getting it correct.

hollow. not hallow. big difference.
indeed -- soon the society will reflect the hollowness of our soul, or should I say, absence of.

This is perhaps my favourite lecture from Zizek yet. We need thinkers to address the continued erosion of the commons. We need to lift the curtains to show that while terms by which the commons are degraded (finance) are continually made more convoluted, the mechanisms and results are the same as ever.
