“Trump is a Fetish” Slavoj Žižek Meets Yanis Varoufakis (Part 2)

Join us for a captivating celebration of the life and thought of the rockstar philosopher and revolutionary, Slavoj Žižek! In this special event, Slavoj, known for his unique blend of dialectics, psychoanalysis, and humor, engages in a profound discussion that promises to be both erudite and entertaining. At 75, Žižek shows no signs of toning down his provocative insights. Accompanied by Yanis Varoufakis, we will explore his extraordinary life story and intellectual journey—from his upbringing in the former Yugoslavia under Soviet rule, where even his master's thesis was deemed ‘not Marxist enough,’ to his efforts in democratizing Slovenia and advocating for human rights. This is a rare opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the man dubbed ‘the most dangerous philosopher in the West’ and to hear his thoughts on pivotal issues facing our world today. In a sneak peek of his latest book, Against Progress, Slavoj tackles pressing questions: What are his views on AI and emerging technologies? Is there still hope for humanity amid the looming threats of climate change? And critically, is progress always a good thing? Join us for this intellectual deep dive as we uncover answers to these questions and more from one of today's most outrageous and maverick thinkers.
