The Wal-Mart planned economy guys were a bit sanguine about potential sacrifices needing to be made to confront climate change. Semi-suspicious Matt sat this out because he would have argued with them.

I feel vindicated by his choice of topics, as my own show has put out several episodes on that in the last coupla months alone.

For those who really dig his talk, might I humbly recommend the episode we posted the same night that’s a more in-depth convo on it:

Matt should do a series of intoxicated histories on various psychedelics. I want to hear about early 20th century socialist party splits while he's rolling.

I especially appreciated his rebuttal to the whole idea of trying to do left recruitment/conversion from the Q/Pizzagate ranks.

If we’re making a list of embarrassments to the left I think Robinson would rank quite a bit higher than Zizek.

I like Robinson but I think he's a little too summarily dismissive of Zizek in that excerpt (though I'm hardly a superfan myself). Has he written one of his 15k word takedowns on him yet?

― Boris Bronfentrinker of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan (bizarro gazzara), Saturday, 20 April 2019 21:10 (five years ago) link
we all know he's sexual dynamite, but what about his praxis? I saw more criticisms of him than I expected last night, some even said he was barely better than Peterson, which seems insane to me. why do some leftists dislike Zizek?
― flappy bird, Saturday, 20 April 2019 21:44 (five years ago) link
Old Zizek was pretty good, but he has done a lot of embarrassing things, and he has mostly been repeating himself for the last decade?The stupidest story I've heard about him was the time he was asked to write an essay on Avatar, and wrote a pretty good essay, so could that this company wanted to anthologize it, but when they asked Zizek he told them he'd rather write a new one, as he'd actually seen the film now, and had a lot of new thoughts on it...

― flappy bird, Saturday, 20 April 2019 21:46 (five years ago) link
Like writing about films he hasn't seen, repeating himself, writing complete nonsense about Trump, being a troll about Stalinism, etc. Also, he has the worst taste in movies in the world. He had Pirates of the Caribean 3 on his Sight & Sounds list, iirc.
