Slavoj is wearing mostly fur. To his right, on the floor, is the headpiece of a dog costume, which is upturned and rather pungent.

Slavoj’s face is a blinking slab of clay looking out through thickets of drenched grey hair. His mouth is moving rapidly, but he has not spoken in several minutes. His immense mind is swelling palpably.

At some point, a sound like a stalled car engine echoes through the elevator, and the whole scene slips down several feet. One of the men in the corner screams. Slavoj, in a kind of perversely hygienic zen state, is unperturbed. The intercom crackles and buzzes, then clicks off. A set of emergency strip lights perks up.

One of the smartly dressed people steps cautiously toward the center of the elevator to try and peer through the doors. Slavoj quickly grabs the man with one paw and his own nose with the other. “Birds,” he spits.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Zizek has 4 books on his own interpretation of the new testament and Jesus Christ that's mostly lifted from Chesterton & I have read them

Zizek is not a marxist tho, he likes Hegel and so he has to mention Marx & he took marx's note of a materialist basis for hegel which basically anybody today has to do to be taken seriously

Hegel Kant Liebnitz and even like Einstein didn't have much impact on the anglosphere's fundamental world view,

which in turn dominated the world and established liberal capitalism (the anglo-protestent mode of production) as basically unopposed. mechanical, A=A, neutral background, equilibrium theory bullshit

and I like reading zizek cause I can see some thinking which somehow isn't possible in that context (due to his balkan upbringing & interests)

Oh yes, BHL, the smartest man in France according to the same people who were telling you that Elon Musk was the smartest guy in the US a few years back, should be killed according to another "smartest man". "Smartest man" is starting to sound like an insult. Come'on be smarty, join the liberal party.

Still calling BHL a "void" is pretty spot on. In France, he is considered a "salon philosopher", a man who wear the costume of a philosopher to gently caress older richer ladies and make some money. Also push anti-communist rhetoric on every tv channel.

So here’s the opportunity.

mainline protestant theology, yer Episcopalians, ELCA Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, UCC that group.

whole lotta Hegelian thought there. Barth and neo-orthodoxy that’s dialectic theology, Hegelian basically. a whole lotta these denominations what you find if you look seriously at the theology is structurally identical ontologically inverted. to a materialist Hegelian.

take something like “Nothing cannot be said to exist” that’s structurally identical ontologically inverted to “God cannot be said to be.”

and this is because :Hegel . so if you have a materialist Hegelian and an idealist Hegelian with structurally identical beliefs…

does the idealist / materialist difference the ontological inversion matter?

no it does not. it means that a materialist Marxist Hegelians could be talking to religious folks, using symbols they already participate in, about things they already believe and have internalized that they rather literally go affirm and repeat weekly in church on Sundays….

but they mostly just don’t.
