If you want to get Zizek's 'I WOULD PREFER NOT TO' t-shirt you can do so here:

2:09 "You need something to disturb perfection, so that retroactively the mirage of perfection emerges" very insightful comment here, and I think he explains it very well with his metaphor lol

[Destroianus]

It is only through the fall (of truth), that 'that through which the fall becomes', emerges

Reflection on the things that are through necessity, and the subsequent realisation that our limited human capacity cannot represent the world in itself perfectly, brings us back to the question on what the things *really* are

[FG-fcyz]

2:00 the obstacle that retroactively creates the perfection, the utopia, the absolute idea, the beginning of everything etc.

i am living what he is talking about. i am not alone. what will emerge i wonder? who will we become?

You can either separate yourself from chaos in order to be free, but you can also embrace the chaos in order to be free. I think chaos can never be eliminated as it is an inseparable part of reality, a balance. As Zizek says that without imperfection there is no perfection. Thus you must embrace the balance in order to be free, as once you realise that it is not possible to exist in a reality without chaos and that chaos is part of reality itself then you no longer have the need to eliminate it.

yees, "truth is the fall" ^^

I think what truth is referring zizek here is so different to the truth being referred to by buddhists or other transcendental “philosophies“. Cant really approach they're depth through pure rationality. One must delve deep, as he said not from outside, but “falling“ into the practice, to meet that wich is presented by the philosophy. I wonder if zizek has ever got into these eastern mystical practices. And also, the whole plot of jesus coming as god on earth is to point out and show the path to god. That wich is hidden has to be found just elsewhere. And yes, division may be the truth also, but we know division... What about unity?

When atheists are ‘descender kabbalists’...As opposed to ‘ascender christians’...as an exp.
basically he shares a near total Judaic view of the material universe.

[Pistorius]

Not to sound too extreme but he should have a glimpse on Julius Evola...

[jonblablabla]

Every time I listen to him I cant hold myself from blurting out laughing. Anything he says is just hilarious

[minmiriii]

i could not understand his accent. could anyone please write it what he says. or share a link which is about this?

[mikemsea]

Nichiren Buddhism is not about withdrawing my friend, it’s actually about never withdrawing

[farrider]

" I cannot go into this now ..."

even more famous than the
"so on and so on and so on ~"

Any religion is an instrument of power to control the people .
That's what I'm sayin !
PURE IDEOLOGY and so on and so on ~ but I cannot go into this now 🤷‍♂️°•.

[VigiliusHaufniensis]

The fall itself functions as objet a?!

[shannonattridge]

Zen Buddhism seems like Asian nihilism, but it's unfair to say it's a justification for war crimes. Any religion can be used for evil ends.

Why are they laughing?.. He’s talking about deep things. In this way it looks like Zarathustra is being ridiculed in front of the crowd.
