I'm not familiar with Lacan's system. How is Weininger inverted? Inverted in relation to Lacan's system? Can you point out where Žižek went deeper into any of the actual thoughts of Weininger without him basically navigating the history of philosophy to show a framework, existing or non-existant, and actually engaged with the essence of his thought?

As for me agreeing with Weininger or not: I would have to say no, since I do not agree fully with anybody else since I am not them. I would say I agree with most of his thoughts. When I think about things I disagree with it would probably be some of the thoughts on attraction, the fact that the percentages of Male and Female seek each other out, to complete themselves. I still think there is merit in the thesis that every individual is a % of Male or Female.

Also on pic related, anybody feel a possible reference to Zarathustra? (The vision and Enigma): This did I speak, and always more softly: for I was afraid of my own thoughts and arrear-thoughts. Then suddenly I heard a dog howl near me. Had I ever heard a dog howl thus? My thoughts ran back. Yes! When I was a child, in my most distant childhood: Then did I hear a dog howl thus. And saw it also, with hair bristling, its head upwards, trembling in the stillest midnight, when even dogs believe in ghosts: --So that it excited my commiseration. For just then went the full moon, silent as death, over the house; just then did it stand still, a glowing globe--at rest on the flat roof, as if on some one's property:-- Thereby had the dog been terrified: for dogs believe in thieves and ghosts. And when I again heard such howling, then did it excite my commiseration once more. Where was now the dwarf? And the gateway? And the spider? And all the whispering? Had I dreamt? Had I awakened? 'Twixt rugged rocks did I suddenly stand alone, dreary in the dreariest moonlight. BUT THERE LAY A MAN! And there! The dog leaping, bristling, whining--now did it see me coming--then did it howl again, then did it CRY:--had I ever heard a dog cry so for help? And verily, what I saw, the like had I never seen. A young shepherd did I see, writhing, choking, quivering, with distorted countenance, and with a heavy black serpent hanging out of his mouth.
