/lit/ - Literature

What kind of people read Jordan Peterson and Slavoj Zizek?

Last years have only been disapointment in myself. Wasting every chance I was given by life. I am a miserable self haiting failure, that can't quit this fucking pixelated pleasure. I can't say I was content with my life, but the constant dopamine hits were enough to being comfortable in my own failure. I feel like the years of sel inflicted pavlovian conditioning rewritten my brain. That I will always stay in this semi somaesque state. I became wanker, destroyer of ambition. One day I will wake up, bening lonely, middle age man, that realised that he wasted his life. I will cry, I will shout at the sky, I will spit in the mirror. And then, will watch it again, because what else is there to do at this point.

You don't need Zizek for that!

But then we wouldn't read Zizek.

Zizek is love. Zizek is life.

I am stupid.

My past saturation to consumer entertainment has numbed my attention.

Because of this, my potential for critical thought is severely limited, and my attention-span is deficient.

Has anyone else had this problem?
Who should I email?

Ai em narshishitscally emused by this thread

Please explain this guy to me. Is his stuff worth reading or is it all just hype? Alternatives? Saw some of his films but it was a bit hard to follow everything since english isn't my native language.

Diddle my balls, lick my shaft, and so on...

Haven't seen one of these in a while. Post your stuff.

Looking to start reading some Zizek, what do you guys recommend of his?

Which of his works should I read first?

Hey guys simple question:
I want to try reading Zizek, namely Less Than Nothing, the one with 1000 pages about Hegel.
I hear this is supposed to be an introduction to Hegel, so should I read The Phenomenology of Spirit by Hegel first or isd there no need?

I've never come to lit/, usually avoid discussing anything philosophy related unless in a very friendly environment or over beer. But I must ask.

Is there something like a "philosophic community"? And if there is, is this guy taken seriously in it?

Does anyone have any really bad examples of incomprehensible critical writing they can share? I've read all the Bad Writing Contest winners and they seem over(under?)rated.
