"Everybody in the World Except US Citizens Should Be Allowed to Vote and Elect the American Government" - Slavoj Žižek

Slavoj Žižek, the renowned philosopher, psychoanalyst and cultural theorist, joins us in our firehouse studio for a wide-ranging discussion. Žižek has been called "the Elvis of cultural theory" and is widely considered to be one of Europe's leading intellectuals. He has written more than fifty books and speaks to sold-out audiences around the world.

a Slovene marxist-oriented cultural theorist and a global philosophy pop star, Lacanian Slavoj Žižek talks in his own special way (we don't understand him either if that helps) about a wide range of topics: from american foreign policy, occupation of Iraq and the middle-East to political left and civil movements (even mentions Hillary and Barack - he's for Obama, obviously but doubts he can really change things), a false notion of tolerance in society, the crisis of capitalism and failure of the left among other things which all seem kinda meaningless when you take a look at his super-hot-argentinian-supermodel wife
