I watched a random bit of the video... he was talking about the fact that 'charity does not solve problems, merely postpone their solution', and i agree. But then, all of a sudden, he mention that 'private property is the problem'. WTF? At that point he lost me.

Private property is essential because the difference between us and what we call property are so thin that if we relinquish the right to own things to 'society' then the step toward relinquish the right to 'own ourselves' is short.

Of course this is just my opinion. At everybody his own.

Dont try to make sense if what he says.  He just wants to create controversy.  He political views are considered post Maoist and he considers himself a post Stalinist.

Serious philosophers like Chomsky thinks hes a charlatans.  The people who follow are these bohemian lazy kids

I recommend watching this=  http://youtu.be/hpAMbpQ8J7g   Slavoj Zizek investigates the surprising ethical implications of charitable giving.  

It touches on many discussions  that have been discussed here in this thread by many (soicety, freedom, (crony) capitalism, property, property is theft, big government,taxation/charity/socialism/welfare state etc) and it reaches a nice crescendo...  

Slavoj slaying it... even if you do not agree with everything he says he is a pleasure to listen to...brain nourishment.


 



I shared this shit out of this back when I first saw it. Cultural capitalism is such an interesting idea.

Yuck.  Post Lacanian charlatan.  Disconnected from reality.  So passe

What are your ideas/thoughts/recommended reading/solutions/specific criticisms may I ask?

I'm not an academic so I haven't written any papers.

But during my undergrad i was neck deep in Post Modernism.

After 9/11 I went to a Zizek lecture at The New School in NYC

He said that 9/11 was a self fulfilling prophecy because Hollywood movies like Independence Day blew up buildings.  At that point the audience giggled w nervous laughter.  At that moment I just got sick and walked away from PoMo.  Just cold hearted not to sympathize with the victims.  I guess their hatred of Bush overrode any humanity they had

Just recently a friend of mine did a graduate degree in some kind of 'cultural theory'.  Zizek was one of her instructors.  She wrote a paper linking debt to violence and sado masochism.  Some kind of sexual master slave relationship.  Then she asked me to lend her $5000 cause she ran out of student loan money.  LOL

This is how delusional and disconnected to reality

If you want an intellectual pursuit I do not recommend any Post Modernism.  Its just a waste of time and the people around that scene are nuts

I prefer a more pragmatic philosophy in the British/ American tradition.  I currently reading more economics.  Mostly MMT/ Post Keynesianism

Google Analyst: Bitcoin Could Be ‘The Internet of Money’


http://www.coindesk.com/google-analyst-bitcoin-regulation/


Phrase coined by Andreas Antonopoulos in lots of his YouTube videos.  Andreas says Bitcoin isn't really a currency, more of a protocol and the "Internet of Money."

Just giving credit where credit is due.
