No. Kim Kardashian is. If you're measuring how influential they are. I can't see many people actually living the Zizekian lifestlye.

The cake thing is Zizek.

He casually watched the military run over some protestors with tanks one day, as he sat outside a small café that'd managed to stay open through it.

He recalled the little straweberry cakes were marvellous.

He knew that his involvement would help nobody, so he simply opted to get on with his day.

lmao

I found there, on the central square (Václavské náměstí), a café that miraculously worked through this emergency. I remember they had wonderful strawberry cakes, and I was sitting there eating strawberry cakes and watching Russian tanks against demonstrators. It was perfect.

I don't think Zizek has the catechetical rhythm of a Socrates... He's more Aristotelian in his use of enthymeme and syllogism.

>> No.6186502

Yes.

Most of what Socrates said was probably nonsensical and we probably only think of him as anything but a well-educated and well-intentioned autist if it weren't for Plato turning him into a saint.

Zizek won't have that posthumous luxury, since he's on video being absurd so much.

Otherwise, though, he's the Illyrian Socrates.
