@@Stakhanovites wow, it’s kinda crazy I have that show on rn as I watch this too. Frank Reynolds is intuitive in some weird way, but can let out some harsh statements. I guess I could see the similarity, maybe it’s the delivery
The imperfection in another is reassuring and comforting as we are all well aware we have our own flaws.Seeing them in others allows us to be more accepting of our own and not feel an erroneous need to be something we are not. If you're not aware of your own 'flaws' or idiosyncrasies you are in trouble.
If you perceive someone as being flawless in their looks and speech, it’ll definitely make you self conscious around them because you don’t feel worthy of their attention. It’s similar to when you’re talking to someone very well educated, and not having anything to say for fear of sounding stupid.
This may explain the feeling of culture shock when one moves to another country. To be aware of one's own idiosyncrasies implies having an idea of a standard of the 'norm', and if at in part this norm is culturally constructed, then it would itself be put to the test in another cultural setting.
I bet he never tried online dating, yet he has the capacity to make an accurate analysis of what it is people desire from such mediocre platforms that promise happiness. If there was an actual allegorical cave, he's just smashing it with a wrecking ball.
He did the same with the review he wrote about matrix 4. He didn't actually watch the movie but read reviews by other people and tried to get to the essence of what the movie is about and how it fails
Like always I assume most people meeting each other online do not meet on a dating site. Or that's my experience anyway. Maybe Tinder is different. If you have an activity in common you can talk about that without thinking about the "other stuff". The "two machines" are going at max while the two of you are doing the "usual" infatuation thing, having a crush just like IRL. But with a twist since the infatuation isn't appropriate to the setting. Giving it a better shot at getting to know the other first. Getting to know someone is a big deal, even if you haven't seen a pic. The average person looks average, so the odds of being disappointed are still quite low, right?
@@Korvmannen I guess the odds of being disappointed also depend on how high the expectations have been set upon the other person (reward prediction error). Also, imo, it partly depends on which demographic sample the two people belong to (what's the common denominator that led to them meeting?) Why haven't they found anyone? Are they too niche or is there some underlying issue? I wouldn't say the odds of being disappointed are high, but I wouldn't say they're low either.
@@golfinonotturno9697 It's difficult to readjust once you see a photo of the person for the first time after having talked with them for some time. It's not disappointment per se, just that the mental image usually is way off. Getting past that stage, the average person looks average. I'm not sure how much you have dated, but it's common to learn to like a few traits (visual or otherwise). If you had an intensely good time with someone you were in love with, you may associate some of those features with that feeling. It somewhat "updates" your preferences. I've never been interested in skinny girls, but as it happened, I got together with one anyway and now I can find it very attractive with thin without much contour. I'd say - you don't choose who you get together with, and when you do, it may have a lasting effect on your future dating.
His closing for this talk is so endearing, the imagery of Zizek putting up robots to fuck so he doesn't have to and he and his partner could just explore and experience themselves to void ego focus is touching. This is an anti-social man who just wants to experience the warmth that is usually voided in casual sex, how sweet.
I'm not sure I quite understood, the robot sex is there to destroy any awkwardness or embarrassment so they can enjoy some level of sexless intimacy or what?
@@TenderHooligan it's not about sexless intimacy. He literally mentioned that maybe our hands touch and we maybe even get in bed . All the machines are doing is removing that pressure of performance etc etc that comes with dating.
I thought he was saying something to the effect of talking/interaction/communicating with someone you could be sexually interested in is highly filtered and stiffled by the implications that sex could happen if certain things are done correctly instead of truly. So why not just let the machines (being analogs for our desires and egos) just fuck it out while we actually have tea and talk without expectations
I like the phrase, "do what you like, be yourself, but don't express yourself too much." Sometimes we express weaknesses, or dark things in our nature, because we don't filter them out through restraint.
Or we express, throw into the game our oppressed side for strategic reasons. For positioning in certain situation as to avoid the others doing or saying even more stupid and worse things
“You don’t ever fall in love with a perfect person. There must be some tiny, small disturbing element, and it is only through noticing this element that you say, but in spite of that imperfection, I love him or her”
You know when an older educated guy starts a non-stop one way conversation with you while you're restlessly nodding your head in agreement although you are spaced out completely holding a beer. Yeah it's magical, thank you for sharing this while I completely didn't understand a thing watching him touch his snoze canon every three seconds.
In life, you present yourself, with all your flaws and eccentric mannerisms and endearing personal qualities. Online, you’re submitting the equivalent of a resume. Nobody who looks at that personal bio is gonna have any idea of your actual personality, and when they meet you, it’s almost like a job interview, with both of you having your guard up, asking inane questions to ferret out whether you are somebody worth taking on or just an imposter. That is not how love begins; two complete strangers meeting and trying to figure out what the other is hiding. It is something that builds slowly between two people who know each other and over time draw closer together. And in todays modern age, when we spend so much of our time at work or in front of a screen, isolated from one another, that is a becoming very difficult if not impossible. And so we have the machine sex.
Not just that but expectations that certain dating scenes cannot meet. Sadly for people who want a certain vibe/scene, they gotta move out elsewhere and not be around in middle of nowhere.
People's expectations? Women's expectations, men are fairly easy to please, you can check dating studies, most men rate most women as attractive, whereas most women rate most men as unattractive. They rate something like 15-20% exceptionally good looking men attractive, the others have to navigate this labyrinth and impress her in so many ways an s maybe hopefully one day wear her down eventually, where the exceptionally good looking men could've done the trick with 1 photo.
I think what is described as normality here is the sickness of society we can't get rid of. Accept imperfections in the moment, but work on them. Imperfections of image which is relatively superficial are different that imperfections of character which is deeper and multidimensional.
He should of been a character in Grand Theft Auto IV,Niko Bellic’s eccentric philosophy professor uncle visiting from the homeland and gabbing nonstop during a mission.
I think this self-control makes him so genuinely appealing. He has millions of reasons to hate life and yet he keeps these thoughts to himself and keeps being positive.
I never had much of a success in online dating. Maybe because its just a form of social media which is far away from social nowadays. Picking up girls in real life is much more fun and has a real chance of finding a good partner.
We always tend to present ourselves in a way we believe makes du desirable… be it online or irl. Online dating doesn’t change the way we fall in love, just the way we meet potential partners. (I just love the way he describes the ideal sexual relation)
Changed my tinder profile after watching this. I just took a picture in terrible lighting before my morning shower and now I have more matches than I know what to do with. Definitely try this technique.
Are you serious about getting matches on Tinder? I mean, dating sites have become such a trash that it is hard to find someone being successful. I have been to POF for 10 years and in the old days it was the place to have genuine conversations with good girls. I even met in person like 10 or more girls. But in recent years it has come down hill and I left the building in october last year.
In a true sense, romance is nothing but a primitive display of sexual market value. Everything else is a story people tell themselves to portray this primal lust as something deeper than the surface, which it really isn't. Oh yeah I fell in love with his personality, says she as she passed by 14 other dudes with the exact same personality and none of the physical appeals of the guy she picked. People are so pretentious and phoney.
I looked at online dating about 15yrs ago and thought nope, and never looked again. It's a shallow thing where men pay to meet women, like prostitution but instead of sex you pay for rejection.
That's hilarious - for what it promises, it delivers : the hope of a shortcut to the hard work of finding interesting people for romance. The challenge of course is there remain problems we can't solve with technology but like the proverbial carpenter we continue nailing! What I'm learning from my female friends is how easily mens worst traits translate perfectly for the platform; its becoming a bit more honest these days - nearly most everyone on there knows its about sex now.
As a man on dating apps, you'd better have a lot to offer or else you aren't worth more than a second of thought. The selectiveness goes up an order of magnitude, as important social aspects aren't present such as body language, tone, facial expression and even smell. It can be very disheartening as it gives the impression that you aren't worth any consideration, whereas in real life, the "chemistry" that sparks human connection is reintroduced.
This man is so many leagues ahead of us that he could loop back down just so that he could takeover again. His highly thoughtful analysis of society is wrapped in a unique and perverse sense of humour that's much more easily digestible by mere mortals.
He says expressing yourself through emotions like anger isn't being yourself, but it's learnt behavior. Then he proceeds to talk about inner dirtiness and sado-masochism as something that we simply possess and have to express in some way (being yourself) in order to get rid of it. Could anyone explain me please what part I didn't understand? These two statements contradict each other.
I am not sure myself, as i am not that much into psychoanalysis. My guess would be that he sees that dirty stuff as some kind of hidden desire that want to express, just like we want to express anger when it is there. By outsourcing the the dirtyness (or anger) into a place where it can be expressed safely without hurting anyone, we can satisfy that sdesire and move on onto simply being. Both; being dirty and being angry are usually dependend on the society and not on us. Those 2 Things must be expressed by behavior that is NOT socially agreeeable. I would say, at least to some extent and of course a little anger is mostly accepted. Those aspect are characterized by going against the norm (or with the sexual dirty norm). And i think that he thinks that we are ourselfs when we are able to follow our own norm. But all just guesses.
Dear Ondrej, that is actually a question, that can be answered, because Zizek writes about that in his books (How to read Lacan, chapter 5: Ego Ideal and Superego). Basically the psychoanalytic theory behind this is this: You have three important Elements. 1. The Ideal-Ego: That is the ideal-image you like to present to your self (usually expressed on social media like instagram, but of course in real life too). 2. The Ego-Ideal: That is the gaze, in front of which you want to appear in that way. In other words: We always act for some Other. Please be careful here with this concept, because it does not necessarily mean a concrete Other. This gaze refers to a symbolic entity. (If you want to know more about the symbolic register i recommend you to read the easy understandable chapter 1 of the book mentioned above). 3. Finaly we have the Super-Ego. Here we may answer your question. I quote: »For Lacan, the seemingly benevolent agency of the Ego-Ideal that leads us to moral growth and maturity forces us to betray the "law of desire" by way of adopting the "reasonable" demands of the existing socio-symbolic order. The superego, with its excessive feeling of guilt, is merely the necessary obverse of the Ego-Ideal: it exerts its unbearabel pressure upon us on behalf of our betrayal of the "law of desire"« (page 81). By finding a space, where you can find enjoyment in transgressing the socio-symbolic order (like sado-masochistic behaviour for some people) you can follow the Ego-Ideal in a more peaceful way (like those nice girls he talked about). In short: The sado-masochistic behaviour is not an "authentic" expression of ourselves. That is not what he ment. I hope this gives you some context, where Zizek is coming from.
Well, you may be just focusing on things because you were taught they somehow matter more. The point is that EVERY human behaviour is learned and trained, but comes from an inner desire all animals have. So if you don't express that animal desires through some behaviour, they will bubble up. It's not "being yourself" it's being that part of yourself just enough to be satiated. The simpler way to remember that is that everyone you know, including yourself, if born in out of socieety, wouldn't know that you have to clean your ass, and would probably shit on your hand and toss it at things, everything else was learned and programmed by the super-ego, collective subcounscious or whatever you call it.
@@arthurrosa9403 This begs the question: Who are youWhich self is your self? On one hand it agree with you. On the other hand i would like to add that HOW we do things matters. We don't just wipe our ass. We do it in a certain way. Its maybe on tis own a bad example but when seen over many action we can see some form of temparament (which can also be seen as learned, but also be seen as express of stress or how fast you think etc).
My brain hurts when I try to understand the premise of any of Zizek's speeches... He just rambles, rambles and rambles, while my mind wanders, wanders and wanders... I have zero idea what message he's trying to put out there. I'm just watching, because his tics are making me extremely uncomfortable, but at the same they are so mesmerizing I can't turn it off...
Zizek was the perfect debate match for Peterson in that they both occasionally say something interesting and insightful amidst all the verbal fuckery they usual utter. I suppose that sums up most philosophers and psychologists though.
All of these intellectuals, whoever they are, they are so fucking confident in what they're saying. The words they use they don't define in relationship to their intended purpose but they just spout on about any topic with absolute statements about grand subjects. What is impressive is that they aren't often at all stopping themselves at any point and asking themselves what they are trying to convey and why they do it. They just talk and look people in the eyes with a face that suggests some kind of omnipotence. It's hilarious. Slavoy is not a stupid man at all. He has thought things through, but all philosophers do, they just refuse to think things through in any other way than through a specific lane. The natural question for me becomes, when will we have a philosopher or intellectual or whatever, who will try to take several potent perspectives at once and synthesize them instead of rambling on and on about how THIS single perspective explains everything??? Slavoy is not a messiah for this very reason. He is obsessed about one single perspective. He is adding a lot of value to that perspective but he becomes in many ways a civilized yet primitively narrow guy with the boundaries of a chimpanzee in fight for its life.
Aren't we all limited people inside our own meat shells? As far as I remember, everything has a bias. We just like these biases or not, and usually when we say that we're indifferent, we are just lying to ourselves.

Some kind of sado mazo. True, true... I'm good looking guy, every woman saying so but online dating for me is catastrophy.
That's hilarious - for what it promises, it delivers : the hope of a shortcut to the hard work of finding interesting people for romance.
The challenge of course is there remain problems we can't solve with technology but like the proverbial carpenter we continue nailing!
What I'm learning from my female friends is how easily mens worst traits translate perfectly for the platform; its becoming a bit more honest these days - nearly most everyone on there knows its about sex now.
@@Kobe29261 true. Plus normal people are out of market very early ( goes for both sexes). They don't need tinder.
You do know the women pay to use it too right..
As a man on dating apps, you'd better have a lot to offer or else you aren't worth more than a second of thought. The selectiveness goes up an order of magnitude, as important social aspects aren't present such as body language, tone, facial expression and even smell. It can be very disheartening as it gives the impression that you aren't worth any consideration, whereas in real life, the "chemistry" that sparks human connection is reintroduced.

This man is so many leagues ahead of us that he could loop back down just so that he could takeover again.
His highly thoughtful analysis of society is wrapped in a unique and perverse sense of humour that's much more easily digestible by mere mortals.
You are allowed to have your own opinion on certain philosophers, but always remember to think critically!

He says expressing yourself through emotions like anger isn't being yourself, but it's learnt behavior. Then he proceeds to talk about inner dirtiness and sado-masochism as something that we simply possess and have to express in some way (being yourself) in order to get rid of it. Could anyone explain me please what part I didn't understand? These two statements contradict each other.
Yes, the sado-masochism part was confusing to me too
I am not sure myself, as i am not that much into psychoanalysis.
My guess would be that he sees that dirty stuff as some kind of hidden desire that want to express, just like we want to express anger when it is there. By outsourcing the the dirtyness (or anger) into a place where it can be expressed safely without hurting anyone, we can satisfy that sdesire and move on onto simply being.
Both; being dirty and being angry are usually dependend on the society and not on us. Those 2 Things must be expressed by behavior that is NOT socially agreeeable. I would say, at least to some extent and of course a little anger is mostly accepted. Those aspect are characterized by going against the norm (or with the sexual dirty norm). And i think that he thinks that we are ourselfs when we are able to follow our own norm.
But all just guesses.
Dear Ondrej, that is actually a question, that can be answered, because Zizek writes about that in his books (How to read Lacan, chapter 5: Ego Ideal and Superego).
Basically the psychoanalytic theory behind this is this: You have three important Elements.
1. The Ideal-Ego: That is the ideal-image you like to present to your self (usually expressed on social media like instagram, but of course in real life too).
2. The Ego-Ideal: That is the gaze, in front of which you want to appear in that way. In other words: We always act for some Other. Please be careful here with this concept, because it does not necessarily mean a concrete Other. This gaze refers to a symbolic entity. (If you want to know more about the symbolic register i recommend you to read the easy understandable chapter 1 of the book mentioned above).
3. Finaly we have the Super-Ego. Here we may answer your question. I quote: »For Lacan, the seemingly benevolent agency of the Ego-Ideal that leads us to moral growth and maturity forces us to betray the "law of desire" by way of adopting the "reasonable" demands of the existing socio-symbolic order. The superego, with its excessive feeling of guilt, is merely the necessary obverse of the Ego-Ideal: it exerts its unbearabel pressure upon us on behalf of our betrayal of the "law of desire"« (page 81).
By finding a space, where you can find enjoyment in transgressing the socio-symbolic order (like sado-masochistic behaviour for some people) you can follow the Ego-Ideal in a more peaceful way (like those nice girls he talked about). In short: The sado-masochistic behaviour is not an "authentic" expression of ourselves. That is not what he ment.
I hope this gives you some context, where Zizek is coming from.
Well, you may be just focusing on things because you were taught they somehow matter more. The point is that EVERY human behaviour is learned and trained, but comes from an inner desire all animals have.
So if you don't express that animal desires through some behaviour, they will bubble up. It's not "being yourself" it's being that part of yourself just enough to be satiated.
The simpler way to remember that is that everyone you know, including yourself, if born in out of socieety, wouldn't know that you have to clean your ass, and would probably shit on your hand and toss it at things, everything else was learned and programmed by the super-ego, collective subcounscious or whatever you call it.

This begs the question: Who are youWhich self is your self?
On one hand it agree with you. On the other hand i would like to add that HOW we do things matters. We don't just wipe our ass. We do it in a certain way. Its maybe on tis own a bad example but when seen over many action we can see some form of temparament (which can also be seen as learned, but also be seen as express of stress or how fast you think etc).
Get Well Soon
My brain hurts when I try to understand the premise of any of Zizek's speeches... He just rambles, rambles and rambles, while my mind wanders, wanders and wanders... I have zero idea what message he's trying to put out there. I'm just watching, because his tics are making me extremely uncomfortable, but at the same they are so mesmerizing I can't turn it off...

I precisely agree with him on the perfection theory.
The worst part about online dating is so many guys pretending to be Zizek when they’re Russell Brand at best
very true, just kept getting distracted by him touching his nose
The Illusion of perfection is created precisely by this Excess.
give this man a dam tissue
Zizek is based, we dont deserve his greatness
automated sex part was genius
Zizek was the perfect debate match for Peterson in that they both occasionally say something interesting and insightful amidst all the verbal fuckery they usual utter. I suppose that sums up most philosophers and psychologists though.

No matter what kind of philosopher you are, you hate online dating
Although some of his ideas do have some weight behind them, they are few and far between.
this is so much like a tim and eric
I don't know why I fell in love, I just loved her smile and that she wanted to be with me, nothing about imperfections but ok
All of these intellectuals, whoever they are, they are so fucking confident in what they're saying. The words they use they don't define in relationship to their intended purpose but they just spout on about any topic with absolute statements about grand subjects.
What is impressive is that they aren't often at all stopping themselves at any point and asking themselves what they are trying to convey and why they do it. They just talk and look people in the eyes with a face that suggests some kind of omnipotence.
It's hilarious.
Slavoy is not a stupid man at all. He has thought things through, but all philosophers do, they just refuse to think things through in any other way than through a specific lane.
The natural question for me becomes, when will we have a philosopher or intellectual or whatever, who will try to take several potent perspectives at once and synthesize them instead of rambling on and on about how THIS single perspective explains everything???
Slavoy is not a messiah for this very reason. He is obsessed about one single perspective.
He is adding a lot of value to that perspective but he becomes in many ways a civilized yet primitively narrow guy with the boundaries of a chimpanzee in fight for its life.
Aren't we all limited people inside our own meat shells?
As far as I remember, everything has a bias. We just like these biases or not, and usually when we say that we're indifferent, we are just lying to ourselves.
@@Weissenschenkel Yeah, I think you're right.
You expect too much of the intellectuals. The trick is not to take them too seriously.

Good one.
Let's not put them on a pedestal.
But it's never bad to listen to what point they make.
In the end they are like all of us.
Limited. But good with words.
