The video does a decent job of explaining the relevance of Lacanian-Zizekian theory. The approach isn't really aiming to be equivalent to experimental psychology. Rather, it's a view of strategy in personal interactions.
- Der_Einzige 7y agoZizek is sometimes great but you might as well tune out the moment that he brings up Lacan because every single bit of Lacan is intellectual Charlatanism of the highest order. It's a black stain on Zizek that he continues to see that work as being relevant in the slightest. No, the mirror stage is not the beginning of psycho-social development. No, Freud and Lacan and Deleuze are not useful scholars to be reading in any era (much less today). No, they do not have anything of value to provide except intellectual masturbation. I wish Freudian Psychoanalysists and its disciples would finally die off in the ivory tower but it just hasn't. Even Jung is more coherent and closer to testable than fking Freud.
