overall, though, i would say a good quote to take away from this lecture from zizek is, “contrary to what people think, the message from pyschoanalysis is precisely: “no, enjoyment is NOT the fundamental category of your existence.”" zizek says so much of society is focused on enjoying ourselves. what is freedom in america? freedom to enjoy and consume? there is an ethical element here related to what i wrote (and zizek talked about) previously vis a vis levinas that is worth listening to again.

No, because some things are not capable of being translated into simple terms in this world, and Zizek is not a fast food thinker.

Zizek is a fascinating thinker, one of the few really charismatic characters still left in today`s philosophy. I like the way his thought induces healthy and creative chaos in my mind.

Badiou’s 15 Theses are excellen…they can be easily found in French and English via google, and are well worth reading. The one Zizek cites is one of my favorites.
Another good one:
15. It is better to do nothing than to contribute to the invention of formal ways of rendering visible that which Empire already recognizes as existent.
