I’m pretty open to all varieties as long as the narrators voice isn’t terrible.

    Zizek has criticisms, but I am not “cancelling” his great past works. Learning to absorb the good and throwing away the bad is true knowledge enlightenment. Throwing out baby with bathwater has never resulted in a net benefit. And I believe in getting more knowledge, as a digital data archivist/curator.

    There is nothing that does a better job on ideology (2012) and cinema (2006) than Zizek’s works. His expertise on psychoanalysis, ideology critique, media literacy and political academia is a rare deadly combination.

    Have a more open mind. Do not just put a political gas mask on your brain. It is unhealthy. But then, I do not care about appeasing leftist circles, and despise liberals and rightists, so I am pretty alone on the path I walk. So you can choose to play safe, I take risks for knowledge.

      I am going to continue my hardline stance against people who wield fascism because every time I laxed up on that stance, it fucked me over. Yes that means we’re going to be put at odds, that’s just the way things are. I shot my shot but you’re all in, so whatever. I’m moving on.

        I am a very determined idiot. It takes a bit of crazy to use low or no filters while absorbing knowledge, while not going crazy or burning your brain out or become a bad person. Not sure there is a playbook to train yourself to be like this, other than exposing yourself to too much knowledge, so I consider it a natural gift. Humans are risk averse anyway… maybe I am not human lol. On very rare occasions I feel the brain burnout but it is an acceptable cost.
