Very good. I realized a short time ago that I do not love nature or the world.  Did you notice he said at the end of the video we "should" learn to love the world in this way. :wink:

I'm curious if he really thinks we should love the world or is he just presenting a counterpoint to the new religion of ecology?


Honestly I see no reason why one should love the world?  That's like saying one should love broccoli.  That's a completely personal preference.

Who is your favorite philosopher and which of their works is your favorite?

I need to read more but at this point I particularly like a lot of what Sartre and Nietzsche have to say. I plan on reading more into Being and Nothingness but it seems to be a very thick read. How about you?

i think he probably meant that as a challenge to ecotheology. i think by loving nature he actually means to embrace artificiality.

Call me an asshole, but Zizek's lisp, choppy tone of voice, and constantly rolling R's at the roof of his mouth makes it difficult to understand what he is saying. The medium is the message, and all that.

I have the same problem with him and this is the first spiel I've made it through. Too bad because he seems to point to interesting things.
