Top Comments of this video!! :3
Yo, everyone! This was hands down the densest video I have done. But, It seems to have turned out alright if I say so myself. Little acknowledgment (before theory Chads go in on me): there was some bits and pieces of nuance surrounding Lacan and Hegel in the book that was left out. But, at 35 minutes, I wanted to get to the total essence of the book. Lacan and Hegel via Zizek is a possible future video.
If you guys enjoyed this, if this makes some of the theory surrounding Zizek easier to understand, please consider pledging on Patreon. Making these videos require quite a bit of resources. Resources that my broke college self struggle to garner. If you have it in your heart to help this project moving forward, any tier helps so much. Here is the link: www.patreon.com/epochphilosophy

Yogacara Buddhism explained a lot of this 1000 years ago... The self is a tool for interfacing with the world, formed by conditioning, but the point is not to extinguish or kill that self, it is to realize the nature of it as a useful conceptual tool for living in the world as we find ourselves. The alternative is to be embedded in the self as a reified, real, permanent thing, in which case we are prey to thinking the conditioning and concepts that make up the self IS the true reality. The idea that one must "kill the self" would be to chase just another idea.

I just got introduced to your channel and this is the first content I saw. It just blew mind how you have managed to take a such a theoretically dense text as The Sublime Object of Ideology and break it down to its most basic form possible and do an in-depth analysis of it in the format of a video. Attempting to do such a mammoth task requires some serious levels of guts which you surely have.
Eagerly waiting for your further text based analysis videos.
I am sharing your content to my fellow earthlings who are into similar discourses.
Goodluck man.

I read Lacan just to understand Zizek's jokes
