I happened to opine on Twitter the other day that I thought Slavoj Zizek to be full of shit. In particular, I find that the pieces of his work that I have read (and I have tried several) are pointless because they don't mean anything. It's like he is a human random text generator.

I know, based on some speeches, that he does claim to hold some vaguely Marxist/Stalinist positions that, again, aren't particularly well defined or argued for outside of being very worshipful towards state power. I suppose if I had to pick a figure in the history of western philosophy who he resembles, I'd go with either Heidegger or Hegel, both odious for different reasons.

I mean if you like Zizek and find meaning in his work, that's great. I don't. I think we are all ok with that.

well, well, well

Been taking some time to think about things. Written sporadically for another blog, some FB and twitter. Not sure anyone is reading, but that wasn't the point. I guess I quit because it was becoming the point. Or something. We'll see....I've been shut down for a long time and I don't know if I can get going again. Maybe I can just sit and type, like at the beginning, and then see what's what.

It's

not.

54 weeks to the day

Maybe it's time to get this going again. Maybe it's not. Let's see what happens, shall we?
