There was a tweet like that which was mich more funnily worded.

edit: Here it is: image

Ah one that doesn't start with making fun of his tics and mannerisms is actually funny

[-] nagaram@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

Honestly. Very accurate to his writing. Its less uncertain than the other.

Disappointing fake, the real Zizek would have said "Chienche".

I don't get the reference here...

There is a Zizek clip where he (ironically?) proposes that instead of fulfilling the societal expectation of having sex, couples should use a pair of toys that do that work for them and enjoy some other more intellectual pursuit like having discussions over coffee or smth like that

(I probably got the details wrong, it's been a while since I've seen it)

I actually saw Slavoj live one time and had to sit through him repeating this information at the end of a lecture 😭

[-] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago

But that's kinda part of the Zizek experience, no?

[-] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.cafe 6 points 1 year ago

True, tho I didn’t know him from social media I was just attending a philosophy lecture so was caught off guard 😂

[-] Allero@lemmy.today 4 points 1 year ago

Ngl having Zizek reading you a lecture sounds cool

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He doesn't say intellectual pursuits, but more that people are free to actually be themselves, and then, later, maybe even have sex on their own terms

It's basically a commentary on societal expectations in social structures such as dating, by following the concepts such as using toys to have a "successful" date to its logical extreme

At least this is how I understand it

That is slavoj zizek. He does a lot of sniffing while he talks. It's pretty notable.
