didn't like the stream yesterday we

skipped the stream

we skipped the stream because i don't

play around

we're doing we're doing

we're at now into the lecture that we're

gonna get into because i have a lot on

my plate

to share with you no joke

guys another funny thing

here's something kind of funny

isn't it funny how us pad socks are like

we're like the most

cultured people we like

we're like fucking

we got culture

we got taste

we got spicy food i was just eating some

ethiopian spicy beef

because they was all out of lamb so i

had the beef instead

by the way

i decided

i am marrying into

ethiopia i'm not marrying an arab woman

i'm marrying an ethiopian woman

and it's just going to become an ethio

i'm going to like

become

part of the ethiopian

culture

like my kids will only marry ethiopians

too so i will be the only outsider in

the lineage and then eventually the

lebanese will be gone

i'm changing to ethiopia i'm going to be

the rachel dozezo of ethiopia except i'm

actually going to do for real because

i'm marrying into the culture okay

i swear i dreamed i married i swear i

dreamed

that i had an ethiopian wife i swear i

had this dream years ago it will happen

it will happen

it will

happen it will happen

okay i dreamed about it it's gonna

happen

greek

i like greek too i like greek people for

the khan's ethiopian food fund

see thank you johnny i like greek people

but i feel like

i feel like everything in the

mediterranean is just a weaker version

of ethiopia i feel like ethiopia is like

the original

thing and everything else is just a

corruption from that

you know what i mean i feel like

ethiopia is where it's at

that's the real shit you know

also

one of the reasons me we i cannot marry

into greek

i'm afro-asiatic

i'm

afro-asiatic based

since you're going to marry an ethiopian

woman what are your thoughts on the

degray war

i'm behind but i'll be in his holy war

against the foreigners

against the egyptians against the

americans

holy war

for orthodox ethiopia

that's my view

manchester will return but for now

abi ahmad

but after that manjusty will come back

but this manjustu will be

a maoist men just too

not a soviet religionist one

that's my view

what is this shirt this is a red shirt

to reflect my red complexion and my red

solar embrace because this is the

eurasian friday a solar friday okay

this is a solar friday this is a

eurasian friday so that's why i'm

wearing this uh shirt

discipline

okay

and i cut really easily and i'm cutting

like the samurai but okay now we're

gonna do a palette cleanser okay

palette cleanser and then we're getting

into the lecture okay

so

okay let's get into it

okay

all right

where to begin

where to begin

well

if i ever told you of the story

of heraclitus the dark

is an intriguing story

of heraclitus

the dark

that's where we're going to begin

we're going to begin from the beginning

from the beginning of

philosophy

and the west as we know it

according to heidegger according to

martin heidi

we are beginning from

the beginning

what did what is heraclitus famous for

saying

it's famous for saying

that no man steps in the same river

twice

heraclitus is also known or he's

additionally known

as being the philosopher of change of

pure flux

of movement

right

but

what he's less known for

and this is kind of a little bit

criminally

underrepresented i guess

is for being

the philosopher

of the inception

of what they call

logos

now most of you when you hear this word

logos

um

i don't know if it's just me but isn't

that a word that kind of brings to mind

plato more than anyone

not heraclitus but plato right

plato seems like he's the philosopher of

logos

but believe it or not

plato and you can correct me if i'm

wrong here but from what i know plato

doesn't say a damn thing about logos

that comes from heraclitus

now as far as what logos means

logos can be vaguely translated as

the

reason for things the um

you know the word logic comes from that

root word logos the reason for things

the the almost the way of things right

so then someone may ask

isn't the word logos

a lot like the eastern

tao the way right

well no because the difference with

logos and words like the dao or the tau

is that logos already

implies some kind of meaning

in the form

of rational thought

so for for the logos

reason and thought already have some

kind of privilege significance

in describing

uh being and moreover the relations of

being

logos as

the reason the rationale

of the world

the nature of the world

logos

is a word you're going to hear

often

in classical philosophy in general

and it has a very masculine connotation

right

the logos in addition to implying

this kind of rationale this kind of

rational mediation of the world

principally through words and through

language

is also going to be identified in

another way

logos

by default

and upon its inception

implies an exclusion

logos is by nature exclusionary

and the way in which logos is

exclusionary

is that

logos in addition to identifying the r

the reason the rationale

the meaning behind things

also says that

this

reason this rationale

is its form

is its identity

beyond which there is nothing and

nothingness

so logos

upon its inception by heraclitus

already excludes

nothingness

now

what is the problem with this

heraclitus as you may recall

is known for being the philosopher of

flux and change

and you know you no man steps in the

same river twice right everything's

always in motion and in flux

so how could it be that heraclitus and

not someone like plato

is the philosopher at which point

uh

the

concept or the notion of logos

arises and emerges

how could that be

well

the funny thing

actually

the funny thing is that

what heraclitus meant by logos

actually

and as a matter of fact

had more to do

with some kind of consistency

of this movement

for heraclitus and at the outset

logos basically meant

the consistency of inconsistency

and the identity

of difference

by consequence

logos sorry

heraclitus teaches us

that the world is inherently somehow

inconsistent every time we try to

ground the world or freeze the world

into something some kind of form let's

say phenomenal form let's just put it in

that way

the world will necessarily be

inconsistent with that because it's

always changing and it's always in

motion no man steps in the same river

twice

so for heraclitus

this world of eternal motion is also a

world that is inevitably going to be

inconsistent

somehow

so it is the consistency of this

inconsistency

it is the permanence of what is

impermanent

that

allows heraclitus to derive

this concept

of logos

logos therefore

never entailed from the very beginning

any kind of substantive being

logos from the very beginning

this is the beginning of it all

already entailed some kind of

consistency of

inconsistency alone

the content of logos

can only be defined

by something which is not

what it is

heraclitus

is also known for arriving at the

insight

that all is one

all is one

but why does heraclitus come to this

insight that all is one

because for heraclitus

he is dealing with a world that has

already been

uh

what's the word

lacerated

into distinctions and differences

so it is the

all of difference

right all of these different things

that is in the end one

now what is that one for heraclitus

it is the one of difference itself

so here begins according to heidegger

the beginning of

the end of

the west here begins for heidegger the

way in which

we ha somehow made a mistake in the

course of history

and this was the first moment in which

the west was set on the path

that culminates

in a world of technology

and of complete technologization

of all things

and the subordination of all beings to

some form of instrumental

uh reason some some instrumental

technological

uh reason everything is just a resource

to be used and utilized for the pursuit

of some other ants

and for heidegger this is the nihilism

of modernity and of the american era and

where we are now

okay

so

how do you go from there to there how do

you go from plato

to nato

well in this collapsing of all being to

logos

remember what logos is logos is just the

identity of difference the consistency

of inconsistency

in this collapse

somehow um

the original being itself some original

point out of which

logos was derived was forgotten

now let me put this in a way that you

may understand right

when we're talking about the world of um

the world under the tyranny of the

techne if i'm pronouncing that correctly

of technology

you're looking around and look outside

everyone i want i want everyone to to

turn their you know

look look left and right and um

turn around three times and just look at

all this shit around you and look out

your window and just you know think

about the fact that

every single

thing you see

is somehow a thing already subordinate

to some kind of technological paradigm

all of these things are things that

serve a purpose

or their things to be used to fulfill

some kind of ants

in a utilitarian way

everything you see around you you've

straight jacketed into a con a concept

of some kind whose meaning ultimately

boils down to some kind of use

now even when we think in naturalistic

terms this is also true for example what

is the tree you may ask well a tree

um is a thing that uh i don't know it's

it's it has a um

it has a trunk and it has branches and

it has it has leaves okay

uh what is a tree and when you start to

describe the tree

you start you're going to start

describing it in terms of functions

you're going to say well this is what

the branch does this is what the trunk

does the reason the leaves on this tree

exist is is to do this and when you look

at in biological terms why do fish have

fins well fish have fins in order to

help the fish swim in the water

so all of these

uh

ways in which you describe particular

beings

are

basically ways in which you are

subordinating beings to some kind of

technological paradigm this is the

technique right

what heidever imposes upon us is the

following question how to think being as

such

because for heidegger this same paradigm

of

the instrumentalization of particular

beings

subordinated

to technology this particular paradigm

has led to the point

of a crisis for the west

for the western civilization the crisis

being the the basic nihilism i'm sure

all of you are familiar with right we

have turned everything into a function

we have turned everything into a utility

we have made everything artificial and

commodified

uh all that has wholly has been profaned

all that is solid has melted into air

yada yada

um

oh you know

everything's becoming jellyfish even

even gender even something so intimate

to us as gender becomes jellyfish right

so

this is the crisis

for heidegger

and heidegger asks the question of how

we can think

being

in general

all beginning with heraclitus

all beginning with heraclitus so keep

that in mind and i'm gonna go spit some

shit out of my throat

and i'll be right back okay

keep that in mind

now i have described to you

heraclitus in a pretty interesting way

to say the least i'm sure it's a

controversial way

to say the least

heraclitus uh

with the idea that logos

um

is actually the identity of difference

and

the uh consistency of inconsistency

and the uh permanence of impermanence

and yadda yadda right basically logos

exists with regard to a pure

contradiction but a pure contradiction

that is with regard to the form of

reality

so for heraclitus form

sorry logos is derived from a basic

contradiction

within reality now that's nothing new

every civilization privileges opposites

and contradictions

uh as the point of the absolute

okay but the difference with heraclitus

is that heraclitus

derives the absolute

logos

logos he derives that

from a contradiction purely with respect

to form

not for example contradictions between

particular beings

not for example some contradiction

inherent into some kind of positive

being but

just the mere fact that things are not

for heraclitus it is the mere fact that

things are not

that there is not here

that he derives

an identity that he derives

his conception

good morning revolution tristan

good morning revolution sip some coffee

and get cozy because this is not gonna

be easy to follow

and uh you're gonna have to be patient

each and every word you're gonna

probably have to watch this multiple

times to understand this right

and we're still just on our introduction

by the way

so that's what's unique about

this greek

moment

now i'm gonna ramble on a little bit and

give you something that's not gonna pop

up in the lecture later but it's just

something i want you to keep for food

for thought what else is happening

in greece

in particular

that's unique

the time of heraclitus

well i'll cut to the chase what's

happening is the beginning of uh history

as we know it

um contrary to what you might think

history doesn't begin with the neolithic

revolution

private property doesn't even begin with

the neolithic revolution property

actually if you read engels is the

origin of private property the family in

the state

these things begin in ancient greece

history proper begins in ancient greece

the history relevant to hegel at least

because corresponding to what's going on

in philosophy

uh that i just told you also the same

thing is happening politically

uh states are emerging

that are latent with the quality of form

and formality you have things like you

know

uh a form of the state that is somehow

accountable to something beyond the

state itself it's unthinkable for

something like the persian empire or all

any of these other empires in the world

so this is the beginning of private

property this is the beginning of the

point at which man also

let me put it this way what heraclitus

is doing for philosophy in deriving the

logos

uh man in ancient greece is also doing

with regard to relationships of

production

logos should be identified with private

property with a specific way in which

that is mine is made

into a definite and discreet identity

don't let me wrong

in asiatic civilizations people own shit

but the way in which they own shit does

not have an identity it doesn't have an

institution of any kind right so this is

what's going on in ancient greece at the

exact same time if you want more on that

you should uh read what hagel said

now

that was a brief detour

um

it's just a brief observation guys it's

pretty funny but like

uh

so

a few days on uh twitter

or today

they posted something about hakeem and

they were like hakeem's content is so

much smarter than hazes and shit

um

show me a single one of these ml

youtubers

who like hakeem and luna oy in them show

me where you're gonna get this shit show

me any of them you're not gonna get shit

i'm literally throwing pearls at you i'm

throwing pearls at you

gems

and if you don't get this what i'm

saying you are mentally retarded and

it's okay if you're mentally retarded

you need to retard yourself into a

rewind and keep

keep uh rewinding until you fucking get

it you fucking dumbass

but

it's just funny how um

it's like it's like what

if i if i was wearing

glasses and i was wearing a uh you know

if i was wearing glasses and a sweater

vest

and i was some soy cock and i was like

um

so basically and i sounded like that

everybody would be like oh my god that's

so interesting

i never thought of that before

i'm throwing pearls at y'all so listen

closely okay

listen closely

this is the most important

thing for thought

this is the foundation of western

civilization logos

it's the foundation of everything it's

the beginning of everything everything

state

philosophy

politics

private property the family you name it

this is the inception this is the

beginning point that culminates in

today's capitalism that i'm giving to

you okay

hakeem's gonna fucking talk about cars

i'm talking to you about the literal

inception

of private property the inception of

statehood the inception of western

civilization as we know it and the

dialectic the riddle of history in

general the riddle of modernity all that

shit that's what i'm giving you okay

so

you better buckle up and listen closely

motherfucker because if you're the type

person i just wanna see hakeem talk

about prageru you're a fucking retard

okay i'm sorry i don't know what else to

fucking tell you you're a dumbass you're

literally a stupid fucking person

you're a midwit you're a fucking midwife

you're not an intellectual you're not

you're not someone who thinks about

anything you're a dumb fuck okay

just to be clear

just to be clear

just to be clear

okay and uh where is my fucking stress

ball

here it is

here's my stress ball okay

anyway

so

we've gotten to that point

what i just told you

more or less

what i just told you

um

should sound familiar to you if you've

kept up

with contemporary developments

of so-called western uh philosophy if

you can call it that um i don't really

care if you you don't want to call it

philosophy you want to call it something

else that's fine

the way i described eric like this

though almost ad verbatim sounds a lot

like if you familiar with the guy de lez

the french guy de lewis

it also sounds like something

from another guy that we're going to

talk about today who's in the fucking

thumbnail actually

slavoy

is precisely the one

who speaks about

um

pure difference difference as such

so fortulas all

hitherto philosophy

has subordinated difference to identity

of in some kind of way

for example hegel when he speaks of the

negation or he speaks of difference

in the third element of hegel's

dialectic which is the negation of the

negation or the reconciliation depending

on how you want to look at it

difference is re-subordinated into some

kind of identity

for de les the challenge is to think

about pure difference as such

pure difference as such

so

you can anticipate the critiques of the

lord that will come later from both

allen bedu and slavoy zizek

which basically amounts to this idea

that yes de los

your difference yes but

identity is nothing more

than the identity of difference anyway

the one is

only defined by its constitutive

inconsistency and its constitutive gap

so here from the beginning of the

western philosophy to what i would

consider to be the end of the philosophy

you begin with heraclitus you end with

pretty much the exact same thing

strictly in terms

of

the identity

of difference

and that is the logos the supreme

horizon and final threshold of western

thinking

the logos

implies an exclusion or what

phenomenologists

like herzl or heidegger will call

bracketing when you bracket something

basically means you're going to take it

you're going to put it in brackets

you're going to put it all the way over

there and then you're going to you know

it's just going to bracket it you're not

going to deal with it and then you're

going to proceed working on from

something else that's what bracketing

means so

initially in the beginning of western

philosophy as we know it

uh

everything outside of logos is bracketed

and worse

than bracketed this bracketing comes to

be that

everything which is outside of the logos

is nothing

everything which is outside of the

identity of difference is nothing

why

chat why

why if you've been paying attention if

you haven't been paying attention

we can deal with that too

but i want one person to tell me

why would it be that logos is inherently

exclusionary if logos means the identity

of difference

why would it be exclusionary what would

logos say about something that's not

logos

how does logos treat what is outside of

logos

tell

me tell me

anti-sterner

uh

you're getting there

but isn't nothingness already in

exclusion so why that's i'm gonna so

anti sterner is the smart guy in the

classroom right now right

and he helped you chat i'm putting this

away he helped you anti sterner helped

you

it principally excludes the nothingness

everything outside of the logos is

nothing now i'm going to ask you the

question why is everything outside of

the logos nothing

why is everything

yes

beethoven's boy you're getting vip

in the future youtube chat that has vip

functions because youtube's a piece of

shit there's no vip vsauce boy got it

because from the perspective of logos

everything outside of the logos is

condemned to inconsistency motion

impermanence and contradiction

do you remember what heraclitus said

no man steps in the same

river twice

so from the perspective of the logos

because of that fact because the world

is always in motion

because everything is always changing

because nothing is ultimately consistent

there can be nothing that is not

subsumed under this

absolute and fundamental identity of

difference

this permanence of impermanence and this

consistency of inconsistency

do you get it now

for heraclitus

everything in the world is in motion

everything somehow changes

so

how does heraclitus

articulate that fact

he finally comes to the conclusion that

all all of these differences

all is one

that oneness being identified by

heraclitus being the oneness of the

difference itself

the oneness of the fact everything is

different that is the logos the logos is

the identity of difference

everything outside of logos is nothing

only for the reason

that anything which you identify

as something is inherently contradictory

and inconsistent

so what happens is that it's bracketed

into nothingness pure nothingness if

something is not logos it is nothing

plato

after heraclitus

will just presuppose this

he will just presuppose this

plato's

notion of the one

then proceeds from the question of

what are the relations

or moreover better put what is the order

of this logos

in relation to the world what is the

order of logos and here derives plato's

theory of forms

now with the pre-socratics you also see

similar patterns

it was

i believe

what fucking school was it of zeno zeno

and friends xeno the ponicion shout out

to phoenicians and friends

who also came to the opposite conclusion

that heraclitus came to

based on the same type of reasoning

the school of fails

yes

the stoix yes i'm pretty sure it's the

stoics the greek stoaks

so zeno

comes to the conclusion

that actually the world is just

still

and it's not in motion nothing's in

motion nothing moves

for the world to move implies

a void

right

uh

they contrast themselves with um

with uh

with uh the democritus democratis how

the fuck you pronounce that guy

by saying there could not be any void

the democritus people who founded the

atom obviously do believe in voids

because they think it's empty space

between atoms right

uh but anyway the stoics

believe the world is

ultimately still there is no emotion

now

now uh

you know the word

it's the elliatic school are you sure

okay well zeno's paradox basically is

following the same reasoning

zeno says

uh if haze throws this knife at chat if

i throw this knife at chat and the knife

is going

in space right

and uh

you try to measure each of the points

that the knife

has crossed into space

you will discover that they are

infinitely differential right you can

dif you can um

you can uh draw out an infinite number

of points

when i throw this knife at you why

because

you can always just make it

infinitesimally smaller it's also the

story of the tortoise of the in the hair

which is the same thing if you're

familiar with that story

so what basically

zeno is dealing with is he's dealing

with this basic contradiction between

reality

and the way we measure reality right

for zeno there's no such thing as

movement

because

in the distance between here and here

there are an infinite number of points

infinite possible

number of points

dino basically uses this to draw the

conclusion

that there is no movement at all

but

he just like uh

heraclitus

is still

is basically doing the same thing he's

saying

if we can only med if if the way we

measure

uh

this distance

can be infinitely

differentiated

that means it tells us something about

the distance the space itself

so we have this subordination of

the real let's call it the space in

itself

to the form of its measurement

so the same thing is going on in the

case of xeno

and the stoics

same exact thing is going on

okay

so

what then

uh happens basically

throughout the history of the western

philosophy

up to slavojijk himself basically

there are basically two schools of

western philosophy

that you're going to discover in history

right

i'll identify two

the two schools are basically those who

seek to derive

or let's just say privilege

not the beginning

of thought not the beginning

of logos not the beginning

of forms whatever you want

but the relations

of being

as established under

the tyranny of the locals

it's this antecedence of relationships

as someone put it i read a long time ago

which they put it really well

people like zizek delus and then these

crazy guys in the post-modernists as

they call them right

um as they're called by the right i mean

right

they distinguish themselves principally

in the fact

that they

believe the relationship

relationships

of logos

are antecedent before

the beginning of logos itself in other

words they are completely meaningless

relationships

first first you have the relationship

then you have

the question of thinking the beginning

the origin so one is concerned

with relationships and the destruction

of meaning

the other one is concerned with meaning

as such in all of its brevity

and all of its uh

all of its

um wait

okay

now

it's also wrong

to say that they are concerned with the

destruction of meaning because

by the precedent established by

heraclitus and i know i'm skipping a lot

of a lot of history right but by the

precedent of heraclitus

more or less the implicit thread

throughout all of western thought

is basically that

meaning consists

only in the destruction of the

established forms of meaning once we

destroy a given established form

of meaning we have actually arrived at

real meaning and this is the essence of

the development of the west as we know

it

for example

uh even think beyond philosophy isn't it

so that

it's only in the destruction of the

gender do we discover gender it's only

in the destruction of the race we

discover race it's only in the

destruction

of

family we discover the family

it's only in the destruction of private

property do we discover private property

that is the basic tendency of the west

even beyond philosophy in general right

it's only in the destruction of our

social

of our sociality by capitalism

do we discover sociality in the form of

socialism for instance right

so that is the basic

thread that um

runs across the entire history

of the west

a basic threat

now

i am talking now about the west

what about the east

what about the east

um

before we can talk about the

east we have to talk about the real west

there's not just one

west

uh the same

the same uh

the same uh thing

the west subjects to being which is the

laceration

of difference as the supreme form of

identity paradoxically can also be

not just historically uh

uh

um

turned

to define what the west is in the form

of constant change and revolution but

also geospatially and geographically

to define a difference that is imminent

with regard to the identity of the west

itself

now alexander dugan

he

describes that inner difference that

inner contradiction

that defines the west

geographically geospatially let's say

in the form of russia

so perdugin

logos is the western logos yes

but strangely and paradoxically

when we include russia

into the manif into the fold of the west

we arrive

at some what dugan calls paradoxical

elliptical structure

now if you don't know what an ellipse is

a circle goes like this right an ellipse

is like a stretched out

circle

now this hermeneutic device

of the elliptical uh structure

should be intuitively clear to you

because

the

shape of uh

of europe and russia is like an ellipse

right

it's like an ellipse are you picturing

it in your head

right now this

ellipse picturing picturing it in your

head

it's an ellipse okay so now that you

pictured the ellipse in your head

on the left hand side of the ellipse

you have the western logos

firmly centered in western europe

because that's the the

first it was greece but now it's western

europe let's say right germany or

something right or it's britain where

it's the center of europe right the

center of europe is to the left of

russia so within the ellipse think of

the ellipse as the woman's torso it's

the left titty on the torso okay

the western logos is a tit it's a nipple

on the left hand side okay

think of it that way

i'm doing this to traumatize you into

remembering this shit okay

so on the right hand side

of this ellipse

is russia

and dugan posits a hypothetical

but never divine

unique russian logos

for dugan on the right hand side

instead of a clear circle a clear nipple

there's almost this phantom nipple it's

kind of

has a rough outline

purely as a hypothetical object

of a russian logos

now

is what is what would be a russian logos

um

dugan

does not contrive the logos as some

arbitrary thing there's a western one

easter one russian one no he doesn't do

that yet at least right here within this

elliptical structure

uh this paradoxical structure that as he

defines it

here lies the structure of what dugan

calls the paradoxical structure

of archaeo

modernity

what is archaeo modernity

now

again i'm trying to work with you rko

is a is a

part of the word that's gonna denote the

past modernity is going to denote the

future right archaeo modernity

russia

in russian history is defined by the

paradoxical structure of archaeo

modernity

now within this paradoxical structure of

archaeo modernity

as dugan describes it

it's not simply that russia

derives its own western logos

russia's intellectual elites let's say

since peter the great which is when this

begins right

russia's uh philosophers russia's are

artists it's

thinking class right the class that can

be somehow um

thrusted upon to philosophy also

political class as well

they

basically uh

master the western logos they import the

western logos they're westernizers like

peter the great they're importing this

western logos

and uh somehow

the western philosophers the western

elites let's call them right

in their engagement or in their attempt

to engage with

the logos let's call it right the

western logos western philosophy western

elites always come

somehow to the same tragical conclusion

of

fully exhausting it

and being brought to the threshold of

the insufficiency

of

fully exhausting the western logos

because somehow

in their engagement with the western

logos they are presupposing some

fundamentally

russian grounding

so for example

um a beautiful example of this is the

bolsheviks lenin lenin is the perfect

example of this paradoxical elliptical

structure of archaea modernity

lenin is dealing with this logocentric

concept of the proletariat

why is the proletariat such a

logo-centric concept because the

proletariat is only defined

by the class

ready

that is not a class that's marx's own

word the proletariat is a class which is

not a class

it's the only class defined by

negativity by not having private

property by only having its labor to

sell right

however

when lenin is importing the western

concept of the proletariat

to russia

lenin is still presupposing the breadth

and um

density of some kind of substantive

russian uh

reality

to which he imposes

his logos

that defines its background

so the west for example has this logos

right beyond which lies nothingness

but for lenin whether he acknowledges

this or not he doesn't have to he

doesn't need to

for lenin beyond the threshold of the

western logos

is not nothing

it's the western pe sorry it's the

russian peasant

beyond the threshold of western logos

concept of the proletariat for lenin is

the russian peasant

so for the westerner there is nothing

for lenin there is the russian peasant

it's not simply that the russian

civilization represents

as separate logos in contradiction to

the european logos no you can fully

import

western logos european logos to russia

the problem is that this logos will

eventually become assimilated and

subordinated into some already

positively existing

substantive russian reality

and dugan calls it also let me just make

this even more simplistic for you i can

make it more simplistic right

um

you can you just think of communism

communism is a logo centric western

philosophy or whatever it's a western

ideology

you bring the western

communism to russia

and you fully exhaust this communism

you fully exhausted

you are the best communist the communist

can be

and you still end up with what stalin

uh the revival of the orthodox church

revival of russian civilization

alexander nevsky

patriotism

and russianness

true russian patriotism

that ladies and gentlemen is what dugan

means by the paradoxical structure of

archaeo modernity

when you import

the logos of the west to russia

it becomes assimilated into some

kind of substantive reality that is

beyond

uh

beyond

the identity of difference

it's some positive reality some kind so

dugan tries to locate within this

pattern

some hypothetical russian

logos

he says we have not discovered our own

russian logos

but in

analyzing the high the paradoxical

structure

of

archaeo modernity the ellipse that is

archaeo modernity

somehow

uh

on the right hand side of this ellipse

this hypothetical structure

has

imposed its

possibility has imposed its uh

it's um

it's uh

it's semblance right

okay

okay so i hope you've got that so far

right

dugan is wrong then why is dugan wrong

go ahead

spit it out to me why is dugan wrong

say dugan is wrong then why is he wrong

i think dugan has given us a pretty

accurate description

of the situation but you are free to try

and

i suppose challenge that

there was not much of a capitalist

tradition before the october revolution

doesn't have to be capitalist logos just

means the west

so peter the great

clearly preceded the october revolution

i don't think you're really following

anything we're saying here logos does

not just mean capitalism logos just

means logos the identity of pure

difference the negative universalism and

abstractionism defining the history of

europe

you gotta keep up

don't type dugan is wrong then when you

even listen to what was being said

now you wear the dunce cap in the corner

of the classroom

see what happens when you muster the

arrogance to make assumptions

now you sit in the corner as the dunce

of the whole classroom

and it's not my fault

it is not my fault

100 000 clergymen were executed in the

ussr and that's only be in the years

1937-19

it was not until gorbachev that church

shut the fuck up

this is what uh by the way

i find pathetic about

these fake traditionalist fake

conservatives sir

do you think clergymen aren't executed

before modernity under this religious

traditional societies

like that dumb assault was like

under the communists killed the queen of

mongolia

motherfucker you don't think genghis

khan was beheading queens and shit you

think you think back if anything the

ultra the most ultra modern thing is the

fantasy

of some wholesome pre-modern world

where

you know clergy's aren't being burned

and buried alive like as if fucking you

know

the legalist emperors in china aren't

fucking burying the scholars alive and

shit that's what's happening that's the

pre-modern

traditionalist world true traditionalist

world is violent fire of revolution okay

it's not some oh

no

i've ivan the terrible is fucking

chopping people's heads off and shit

that's what's going on

okay

um

yeah spanish inquisition look at the

european wars of religion and shit

you know fucking tell me communism

uh brings some unique evil no

this is actually the same evil of the

past

but i don't even know if that figure is

correct

uh it was not until gorbachev church was

saying that's not true at all

it's not true at all

the church was revived in the ussr uh

before world war ii you know there's a

lie that says stalin only did it because

the world review no before world war ii

it was being revived so that's a

complete lie that they try to say

um and no it's under gorbachev

is it that in the west the negation of

the negation can't form that it is

suspended and in the east it is realized

through the peasantry realizing it can

be this negation

thinking more like it is something like

that it does have a lot to do with this

let's call it logos

this relation this structure that is the

negation of the negation

but we're going to get to that when we

talk about shizek

right

because we're still talking about dugan

right now i just wanna first i have to

introduce you to these two thinkers and

what they're all about

and then i'm going to talk about what it

would mean to combine them what does it

mean to read them through one another

um

yeah khrushchev did shut them down

because he was it was part of his

anti-stalinist purges the churches were

associated with stalinism under

khrushchev

so that's also something to keep in mind

um

okay continuing on to this lecture

so i have talked to you about the

paradoxical structure

of russian archaeo modernity

now

dugan derives the conclusion

of the need to search for

some unique russian logos and to escape

the paradoxical structure of archaeo

modernity

that has defined russia's place and

relationship

not only to the west but to the world

but for dugan this

russian logos it remains hypothetical

and

remains principally defined

by the various shortcomings and failures

of

the reconciliation of this contradiction

specific way it fails to be reconciled

between the western logos and the

russian let's call it substantive

reality

now let's put dugan on a pause for a

moment

let's put dugan on a pause for a moment

and let's uh

skip a lot of history

that culminates into slavoy zizek

because

oh boy

oh boy

it pains me to say this given his

horrible political views but um

i'm going to go out and say

i i welcome anyone to challenge this

slav

is the greatest

thinker

he is the greatest western thinker

living today

slavoy zizek is the greatest western

thinker living today

there is no western thinker that is

alive

that comes close to slavoy zizek

in terms of rigorously developing

a true

let's call it philosophy

and

a western philosophy

and moreover

it is precisely

this

as a philosophy of the western logos

it is only slavoy zizek who exhausts the

limit of the western logos

and no one no one um appreciates that

fact

thank you class is fundamental

consistent persistent and synthetic left

resistant

loving that green

loving that green

based

don't talk about his politics because

you're talking about nothing when you

talk about his politics

his politics don't matter

all of his political mistakes come from

his philosophy understand his philosophy

first

zizek

alone has fully exhausted

the western logos

not because he's an original thinker per

se but he has kept memory alive of this

western logos

which in philosophical form was actually

exhausted

by hegel

by frederick hagel

hagel is the last philosopher but zizek

is the only person who remains a

consistent and faithful hegelian

in the age

of let's call it post-modernity and what

is post-modernity post-modernity is

basically defined by some kind of

difference

that is between

our consciousness

oh shit a violet we got a pink we got a

red in this bitch thank you anthony

politics is when philosophy becomes

violent thank you anti-sterner

got a pink red in this bitch we got a

reddish pink in this bitch

we going hard in this bitch all right

all right

by the way anyone who tells you that

they think they're smarter than gg

is uh stupid that's like a retard um who

doesn't read it

those are people who like to talk about

zijic without reading him in all of his

brevity and depth

because that's a really hard thing to do

you guys know what's really hard to

understand shizek it's very difficult

okay

anyone who's telling you that they like

oh g-shock is just like wrong i mean

like

i i would love to see you say this shit

about shizek

to him and he would respond to you

embarrassing you okay

um

nietzsche is not a particularly

impressive thinker uh in any capacity

so i don't know why you're telling me to

read nietzsche because uh

he's not that impressive

you're just like one of those nitpickers

like she's just wrong

she's just wrong about nietzsche because

it's always this dumb shit go ahead and

type my chat why is he wrong what

nietzsche

type in my chat why he's wrong about

nietzsche and just explain it to the

best of your ability

describe it to the best of your ability

and i'll wait for you while i continue

on my lecture okay

so

g-jek is wrong about the eternal return

you don't even know what that is

carl mackel why don't you get in my vc

and quiz me if i know what the eternal

return is you want to do that

would you like to do that carl

would you like to get in my vc right now

and quiz me on whether i know what the

eternal return is you stupid bitch

oh bitch you don't even see this is like

one of these ugly fucking stiff nerds

who pretend they know things who don't

know shit okay they just like the veneer

of superiority that's like oh um no you

don't know no you don't know shit you

dumb bitch you've never actually

submitted yourself to the painstaking

work

of actually um

carry yeah whatever carry

you've never committed yourself to the

fucking work of trying to understand

anything you just dismiss shit because

you get the first impression that

someone else is wrong

see

chat let me teach you the law of

arrogance right

if you ever dismiss someone

you better double check you better

triple check you better quadruple check

uh before you start making statements

okay if you want to be brought to the

point of making a statement double check

it triple check it quadruple check it

really think about it don't just

say shit based on your first impression

okay

um anyway let me talk about g-shake

let me talk about gg now before i talk

about g-sec i want to give you a tl dr

on what dugan says about mr gg

what dugan says about jiji is basically

um

niche teaches of becoming

self-actualized

motherfucker what is that masblo's

hierarchy of needs

dude you're literally a reddit fucking

quora philosopher we literally got a

reddit kwara philosopher in the fucking

uh building

i have learned to self this is the you

know what this type of dude is this is a

dude who goes on instagram and he's like

shirtless on a mountain and he's got his

legs crossed and there's like the sun is

rising it's like i have learned to

transcend my worries

and i have be like he's one of those

fucking redditors

and then the next and then the next

fucking post is about like rick and

morty and fucking you know all this

fucking cringy ass shit

that's the type of dude this is these

are the people who love nietzsche

they're like these fucking jordan

peterson

fucking fanboys who think they know shit

and he made nietzsche into his fucking

teddy bear

and he's upset that zizek has said bad

things about nietzsche because like

nietzsche he's attached to psychological

significance to nietzsche with regard to

his um

life

speak of the devil

it's precisely psychologism

and the significance of path pathology

the pathos

that

really makes zizek the last thinker of

the west

actually

so

to get to the chase i want to talk about

what ggx is known for in popular

consciousness jesus known for being the

guy who kind of sniffs and goes

it's pure ideology right

even though um the er the uh concept of

ideology comes from al tusera

that zizek is is using i mean right that

comes from not zizek with al tuser the

french guy although

but why is zizek known for being the guy

who talks about

talks about

ideology because we westerners we

westerners are afflicted with a disease

of some kind

we are afflicted with some kind of

pathos in the modern age

maybe in general

we are afflicted with a pathos of

attempting to integrate

the civilization or society

which has its foundation nothingness

or logos

how do we find meaning in the world and

how does this relate to our psychosexual

realities of how we derive enjoyment

uh of things how do we derive

uh sexuality you know is a big one why

do you why do you guys think by the way

the lgbt shit is like really

um a big deal right now

um

you can you can go the conspiracy theory

route which has truth in it

but then you can also think about it

philosophically and realize it's because

sexuality is being subjected to the

laceration

of logos the heraclity and lacerations

of the logos right

it's basically the same thing so we have

this pathos which is being described by

freud for the modern subject

to discover and to aspire not

philosophically through our thoughts and

through our mind

um

but through our desires and through our

fantasies and through our pathological

needs right through our drives

to realize some kind of

logos

logos in the form

of fantasy

a wholesome let's call it fantasy in

which we realize our desire

and in which we realize and satisfy

our unconscious wishes and aspirations

uh the things we want the things we

desire

what g-check does basically is establish

ha

how pretty much all of our visions

um

whether we're revolutionary maoists an

anarchist whatever the fuck you want

right

all of these fantasies we have

of reality are kind of coping mechanisms

which disguise

as a matter of fact some fundamental

inconsistency some contradiction

we larp as marxist leninist and we're

politically correct

on twitter and we're buys wool and

whatever we do this because we are

trying to disguise

or otherwise um cope

with some constitutive

uh difference some constitutive

traumatic

real of the logos

the fact that the logos is just the

identity of the difference

now i'm being very generous in my use of

the word logos because it's an extra

philosophical use

it has to do with the fact for example

that

for example uh someone who's a furry or

someone who's

uh has a thousand different genders or

someone who's um

larping like jason on rouhey as a red

guard they're doing all these things

because they are caught within a type of

constitutive fantasy that allows them to

avoid the traumatic fact

that there is a fundamental

contradiction

that is at the basis

of everything they consider meaningful

and real in the world

a fundamental contradiction

and that is our pathos as western

subjects we aspire

to realize some kind of

consistent

fantasy in which our um

desires will be realized

by the way why do you guys think i hate

hate hate

and spit on the vaporwave aesthetic

because vaporwave is precisely this kind

of

um

this presentation of internet ideologies

within this kind of wholesome vacuum

within which our true dreams are

realized if you think cpusa 2036

should be put in a vaporwave background

you've got the whole fucking thing wrong

you are

in

pure ideology thank you werewolf

thank you werewolf

thank you werewolf

with that sticker

that funny sticker

now

i'm just gonna cut to the chase i don't

know i don't really think

it would be good to um

well okay

let's begin from heidegger again because

i talked about what heidegger said this

orientation toward being the beginning

of being right

well after heidegger this

post-heideggerian thinkers somehow it's

possible for there to be post

by targaryen thinkers but almost all of

them

are

um grounding their unique modes of

thought in some kind of constitutive

rejection of heidegger a rejection which

some somehow preserves

his phenomenological um turn

so

thinkers like de las

lacon as well zizek

um allen badu

and others these are thinkers that

have to reject and repress

heidegger's originative um

insight of the origin of being

right or the origin of the form of being

in the logos

or in the platonic idea depending on how

you want to look at it and they have to

they have to foreclose that and somehow

return yet again

to the primacy and antecedents of

relationships

over identities

how

does

being actually relate to itself

now the reason i will call all of these

people heidigharians

uh heideggerian thinkers

is because they recognize

the question heidegger puts as the

question of being and they leave that

question open they merely say heidegger

you are right

about let's say

this ontological term that we are faced

with the question of being

you are correct about this heidegger but

the way in which you establish and

present the relationship for example

between

uh

the dossier and being

is wrong the way you structure the way

you relate

this is wrong

so they preserve heidegger's ontological

turn

but they critique heidegger on the basis

that the way in which he describes the

relations

within which

his ontology is grounded

is wrong

and that becomes the basis of

post-heideggerian criticisms of

heidegger but what heidegger did which

is basically open the question of being

as such

that was preserved by all these post

heideggerian philosophers

up to lacon by the way

who does try to

re-derive

even redeemed descartes

in the midst of heidegger's criticisms

lokon was a guy

who would go drive to heidegger's home

and he would always like show heidegger

his little doodles of his mathemes and

his kinds of like baromian nazis look

heidegger look at this look at this and

la khan would do this with heidegger

personally in person because la khan was

basically trying to um convince

heidegger that he has a lead on

being able to understand

the question and problem heidegger was

aiming at

opening up better than heidegger himself

okay

now i'm not gonna summarize the history

of western thinking past heidegger it

suffices enough for me

that you know

in the first place

uh heidegger's significance

okay

but i do want to begin with lacon a

little bit and delus

because with both lacon and de las are

going to have in common here

is in addition to furthering

this primacy of relations

over

origins

in terms of trying to understand

um

to understand uh

let's just say or to develop i should

say

um

let's just call it develop a school of

thought okay to be um

to be less

less

less risky is the word i'm looking for

let's just call it

to develop their schools of thought

their forms of thought

they are not concerned

with the origins

uh

of thinking they're not or concerned

with the origins of the logos

they

foreclose and bracket these origins in

order to develop

the relationships instead

by the way this kind of is what

distinguishes

thinkers like jordan peterson from

slavoyzic isn't it peterson

is really reckless and he's really um

he's extremely amateur when it comes to

his ability to understand

like the particular relationships

underlying the different

conceptual devices he freely and over

generously makes use of

someone like zizek hyper focuses on

these different relations

um

conceptual relationships right that's

all zija cares about zizek doesn't care

about meaning

he cares about

the

relationships and the way in which they

undermine conventional and established

forms of meaning right

that's because

i'll basically put it this way

um

western philosophy

in terms of its development and its

focus on relations over origins

is basically the leg day

it's basically the leg day

it's basically the leg day

of philosophy

it's kind of the feminine insistence on

you know don't skip your leg day

or it's kind of like this thing of uh

who's that japanese woman who's like

you will solve all your problems in life

if you just well give me a second if you

just uh

get rid of things you don't want

it's this focus on the micro

particularity of the details of the

household cleaning

that kind of is what we're talking about

here right for example it's very

masculine just to have an extremely

simple

you know um

broad approach to things

but then what does woman say woman says

don't forget the details don't forget

the small details the small details

matter

also not just the woman but the

effeminate male like the the soy male

um that's why you know soy males pro tip

they love talking about leg day

soy mills love talking about leg day

because they like assuming that feminine

wisdom of don't forget the details

don't forget the particularity

right

um

but of course

when a man

uh

is a when when a western man

tries to philosophically be a man

and only focus on the big things and the

big questions like jordan peterson

they end up looking like a fucking

dumbass

jordan peterson looks like a dumbass

because he's still operating within the

framework of the western logos and he's

taking for granted the fact

that he is simply

giving an inadequate breadth of

description and detail

to the very thing that he takes as his

object which by the way only has

significance because of the way in which

it self differentiates and self

particularizes itself into all of this

very complicated relationship

of detail

right

a real man philosopher man is dugan

is dugan and by the way my thesis of

today is also gendered in a way right my

thesis of today is basically if you are

a fan of slavoy zizek

uh but not dugan

you have extremely low testosterone

levels extremely low you are not a man

there's something in dugan

you have to uh appreciate

and

mold your thinking around

in order to philosophically be a man

we'll get to that

we'll get to that

you are basically ben burgess

how am i ben berger oh yeah no i get

what you're saying yeah you're basically

ben burgess or worse worse and this is

why we can never forgive zizek by the

way

we cannot forgive zizek

we can't forgive zizek because

of chat boy the trap house and his

fucking fans now everybody

when i say giza is the greatest thank

you energy turner what if we are a fan

of dugan but not zizek i'm a trans woman

btw

that's fine

to be a fan of

dugan only is fine

but

sometimes if you're a fan of dugan you

can overreach

into the details

and get it wrong so i recommend zizek

also the significance of gender i mean

um

a soy male is not

a woman okay

a soy male is just a weak man a weak man

is not

a woman so

it's not like you become a uh

manly by

appreciating

truly masculine philosophers like dugan

women are allowed to um

appreciate masculine things

it doesn't destroy their femininity

um

because of the uh paradoxical

relation

defining

what man and woman is

woman is non-all

woman and to put it in lacon's terms

like

woman

is to man what russia is to

european locals it subordinates somehow

right

it's the womb

it's the womb

chatboy trap house yeah that's what i

was talking about

we must never ever forgive zizek for his

disgusting following

we must never ever forgive him for that

his disgusting evil scum following

any anyway

anyway

uh do continue

to continue

i could make this like a six-hour

lecture there's so much to talk about as

far as gjx politics

but i'll confine us once again

to um

this question of the understanding of

relations

instead of origins

one last thing what about calm down

i used to not like come down i never

listened to them in my life because i

thought it was the same thing as chapel

but then i started to do some

investigating and i realized the

compound people are different than the

chapel people

the compound people

i don't think they ever sold out

i don't think they ever sold out like

the chapel guys did i think the compound

people are still uh

still um the same bernie bros

as in 2016. they're not for bernie

anymore but like

they never sold out and became like

these cocks

so

uh

i vaguely like chapel i'm sorry not

chapel i vaguely like uh hometown

i vaguely like come town because uh

they um

[Music]

they are against

leftist they're just not cringe i don't

know how to fucking put it they're not

cringe okay

they're not cringe

now they're not really my

sense of humor because i'm an

afro-asiatic mediterranean male but if

you're white then

i recommend compound okay

i'm not saying that as an insult by i'm

genuinely saying like i

i i like them don't be wrong i like them

but like um

i have a different sense of humor which

is based on being loud and shit

and you know being exaggerating and shit

whatever i've got that type of humor but

they they're a good um i approve of them

as the leaders of white america white

america's youth i approve okay

anyway

hyde is uh

sam hyde i i don't know enough about him

initially i didn't like him and the

reason initially i didn't like him is

because um

i didn't understand it right

and i still i still not a fan per se

it's not my type of humor but um

i did see some of that i'm not that

familiar with these people you gotta

understand that i did see some of that

documentary with idubbbz and sam hyde

without knowing anything about sam hyde

um

i like that guy way better than fucking

idubbbz way better okay

that guy was way back yeah you know what

2070 paradigm shift i i did see that i

did see that

and that was fucking funny that was

funny

that was funny okay

that was funny but this is not like my

type of shit like i'm an afro asiatic

mediterranean male right my sense of

humor is literally like

my sense of humor is like fucking

you know

honestly it's like

it's like uh

how can i describe my sense of humor

it's like my hair right now it looks

fucking stupid

no it's um look at this what is this

what is this

who

who made this

i need a haircut i need a haircut and my

haircut appointment was uh

was canceled

by the way no my sense of humor is kind

of like um

can i tell you the truth

can i tell you the truth

no not dead thing um

i've gotten to a point

i just laugh at my own jokes i laugh at

my own humor every time i make a tweet i

i can't sleep because i'm laughing so

hard

i laugh so hard at my own

humor i

my shit is so funny i laugh so hard at

what i do yeah zurich is my sense of

humor too to be fair

that yeah that's my sense of humor it's

that type of mediterranean

shit you know

though there's two people yeah pretty

much circa

and

me is what i find funny

that's what i find funny that's my sense

of humor

no combat is 22 to be fair kantbot is

literally funny but um

yeah i i yeah that's my sense of humor

and slicker slicker is also funny i like

him

but but like there's some people that

look at art sense of humor they're like

um you're just loud

you don't and it makes them

uncomfortable and shit now you know what

i'm real bitch i'm real

i'm real i'm i don't give a fuck

okay

that's my sense of humor okay anyway

anyway

um

let's get back into our lecture

let's get back into our lecture

thank you chris warlock jimmy duray is

funny when he calls out idiocy

you're right

you're right

jimmy dore is pretty funny too

anyway let's get back into our lecture

okay

um

now

i kind of want to pause to eat

but i'm not gonna

but uh

you know what i am gonna

i am gonna because i can okay so we're

gonna pause so i can eat

and after i eat i'm gonna be able to

like do it right

they better not give me fries

oh dear

oh dear

oh dear

oh dear

oh dear

so oh dear

oh dear

oh dear oh dear

oh dear

oh dear i mean

i can't eat this oh dear oh dear

oh dear i'm trying to cut i'm trying to

cut

and

i'm trying to guys

i'm trying to cut look what they did to

me look what they gave me i didn't ask

for this this is chicken by the way it's

not a burger so it's healthy but oh dear

oh dear

oh dear while i'm trying to cut

okay let me take a short break just eat

this sandwich and then we'll get back on

track okay

we'll get back on track just remember

what i said before

about

relations and their significance

so i can get back on track

it's chicken

get it

it's chicken

there's no mail

there's no mayo in this game

no mail

i love how 60 people left

they can't just wait like two minutes

for me to fucking finish this

all y'all bitches that are leaving i

don't give a fuck because

jackson's gonna um

raid me anyway

do you like slavoy's shizak at all you

know

no i think i don't know

oh this is great so so why not

but i i think uh uh uh

has one secret if you know lakam

uh

so there will be no no more mystery in

jesus

it is very correct

very

i would say authentic and very

orthodox continuation and application of

lacan's theories i have studied some

some time some years lacan and

zizek is a continuation of application

of lacan

understands lacan very well

so that is for him but i don't think

lakan is much richer than zizek and if

we understand lacan we we can be

a hundred

times more interesting than zizik

only

historical speculation suggests the

majority of ethnic groups that are

majority shia have ethnic ties with the

persians your thoughts

all right

i'm gonna piss

yeah i'm gonna piss i'll be right back

i'm to go click this

uh

jar jar sorry lecon is the key to all

this

hey guys

i missed some um

missed some uh

stuff

thank you light of the twin lamps

historical speculation suggests the

majority of ethnic groups that are

majority shia have ethnic ties with the

persians your thoughts

i think that's true uh i think that's i

i have a relative who told me that he's

like yeah

we shia in lebanon we're like persian

ethnically or some shit like that so

yeah um

that's what i heard

thank you anna sterner appreciate you

jar jar sorry lacan is the key to all

this

so we are going to continue um

we're going to continue on where we left

off

more or less

you're going to see people

who are in the post-hydarian

um you know

school of continental thinking whatever

who are buys what the mightiest thinkers

the west has to offer the analytical

school are a bunch of retards and

computers

who are worthless right and the most

they do is like oh i know how to make

computers

thanks for being a technology guy but

you're not a philosopher you're not

actually an active thinker right

but um

these people are going to arrive at the

conclusion

or they're even going to presuppose it

that i gave you which was the beginning

of western philosophy that heraclitus

that

i

that um the logos is the identity of

difference so they are still dealing

with the logos even then right

even if they have like gotten rid of

these various

privileged representations of the logos

such as god and such as you know um

authority or or even truth and an

empirical fact or any of this kind of

stuff as in the case of like the people

who just kind of say there is no real

it's just a play of appearances and

discourses and words

um

that's fine that is already inherent in

what heraclitus did from the very

beginning the whole point if if the

logos is the identity of difference

then of course western history and

western philosophy is going to be

defined

by this self-negating

and self-undermining process by which

every form of the logos is undermined by

virtue of being

real by virtue of existing right any

form of the logos is going to be negated

because

spoiler alert

um the logos is itself defined by

being not right

by being uh a difference by being some

contradiction by being some problem by

being some as zizek would like to put it

some kind of deadlock

right

so that's that's already inherent from

the very beginning

now

what i think the principal achievement

of

this enterprise

and why it is of vital significance and

importance for marxism leninism

is principally in its critical

orientation and it's critical thrust and

when i say critical i just mean that in

the negative sense

now chat

i want to ask you a question

what separates me from

jason on rouhey or fellow traveler

shut the fuck up about star wars shut

the fuck up about star wars

or you're getting banned

none of you are getting this right

which means none of you have been paying

attention to anything i've said

none of you are paying attention

okay some guy kind of got it is that i

don't lark but can you be more specific

what thinkers

may have given me the wisdom

of why larping

is vain

or why these ideologies

as they are being articulated and

enjoyed and um

expressed and understood

may be faulty or inconsistent or wrong

what thinkers may have pointed me in

that direction

okay i'll just fucking spoil it for you

it's people like gg

people like la con i understand very

well the contradiction between the overt

ideological

um claim which is that i want a

revolution and i want change and i want

this and i want that

and what you really want on an

unconscious level right jason on rouhey

for example he's a guy who says i want a

revolution i want to overthrow the state

i want to bring about communism sure

that's what he says on the surface but

it's not difficult to discover

based on the contradictions thereof

that that's not what he really wants

what he really wants is to um for

example enjoy his position of failure in

a specific kind of way which elevates

his

sense of self above everyone else

so you see it's this ability to

criticize and um scrutinize the

difference between how the logos

presents itself to us

and what it actually is

that

i think defines maybe the principal

achievement

of

the kind of uh french orientation the

french school akan de las jes badu it's

basically

it's basically a way of disentangling

meaning from the relations

thereof

disentangling meaning from the relations

there what do i mean by that right

well

for example um

just take the kind of uh concept of

jewish sons that both de las and la con

deploy

jewish sons is for is according to them

how we um

have a surplus enjoyment

over things

uh

how we have this excess this

experiential and um

and uh

psychological excess of

of um

drive over and against

the particular ways in which we um

we give formal expression

to our needs to our wants and to our

speech

lacan is a guy who's famous for example

for saying things like speaking and

fucking are the same thing

the same jewish songs we derive from

fucking is the same as speaking

both

are oriented around a level of surplus

enjoyment we derive

probably engaging in their respective

acts when you speak

right

you're somehow enjoying

there's a surplus of enjoyment over and

against

your stated formal intention of just

communicating you're not just

communicating you're also somehow

enjoying

uh

inherently right

and you ever it's just common sense

right you ever um

you ever know like the guy who just

won't shut the fuck up and loves hearing

the sound of their own voice why do

people enjoy talking right people enjoy

talking

because it's somehow satisfactory in a

way that's beyond um

beyond

the stated intention that that would

satisfy your motive all i want to talk

is i want to communicate no clearly

people talk not just because of the

stated intention of wanting to

communicate but because for some reason

they're deriving this weird surplus

pleasure and surplus enjoyment just from

speaking right so in the same exact way

you are basically

disentangling

the formal meaning of speaking

with

some kind of

relationship a relationship of enjoyment

so in that same sense

a lot of the things that jason on rouhay

and fellow traveler and other people

um do they for example state their

intention that they want to be

revolutionaries they want to be marxist

lenders but in the background and in

reality

they are clearly

engaging in let's say forms of enjoyment

or psychological patterns and symptoms

and forms that are by themselves not

inherently meaningful

marxist leninist the stated intention of

marxist leninist ideology doesn't

justify jason on rue hayes larp

jason on rouhey is larping

not because of the stated intention of

being a marxist leninist but because

there's some kind of inherently

meaningless structure of subjectivity

that for him makes this necessary

so do you now understand what i mean by

this privileging of the relationships

between things rather than beginnings

and origins that

in my view defines

the principle achievement of the west in

general let's say right

that's what we're talking about

that's exactly what we're talking about

likewise with the ontologies of people

like deluz or badu

or zizek

and whoever else you want

you're not dealing with an understanding

of being

that is with reference to some

meaningful reality

you are bracketing meaning and reducing

the relationships of being

to relationships

of some kind of abstraction

with regard to itself

so for example de los makes this point

in a way i pointed out earlier of this

idea of pure difference right

there are differences between particular

things like the difference between this

knife and this

thing i'm holding in my hand but then

there's just pure difference as such

likewise there's ideas of the one you

would ask what the one of what right the

platonic one well the platonic one is

not the one of anything it's an antique

one it's the one as such

the one of oneness as such the one of

being

right where being is oneness

it's oneness as such

defining being and making reference to

being in the specific terms of deadlocks

differences contradictions shortcomings

and impossibilities as the privileged

medium by which one describes

reality

and exhaustingness to this first its

furthest limit

is what defines

the kind of

western

philosophical logos

and

somehow uh all of reality is reduced to

this abstraction from from hegel to

zizek himself

um

when zizek makes

the argument that reality is less than

nothing

that reality is defined by some internal

deadlock and some constitutive gap of

the real with regard to itself

and this is what gives rise to positive

being

he is on the one hand making it clear

that

um

he is pointing out the impossibility of

some kind of exhaustive

privileged form

right he is doing that

but

he is also making the assumption that

reality can be reduced to this

just because it cannot satisfy the

requirement of being let's say

formally consistent

the question you have to ask people like

zizek is

why do you make the assumption

for example

that the non-westerner

has claimed reality is fully consistent

it pretends

to the full consistency of reality

as a matter of fact

is itself

the ultimate pretense of the european

logos

it

creates the thing it is attempting to

undermine and negate

heraclitus says the only identity is the

identity of difference

well some persian

uh zoroastrian priest will look at

heraclitus and he'll say

okay that's a given

it's a given

that

the absolute is

for example the identity of difference

but what particular form

does that assume

heraclitus cannot answer that question

because for heraclitus the particular

form is nothingness

the persian priest will say it's

our sublime empire for example

so we are dealing with this problem of

being able to orient the western mind

beyond the threshold of the logos

now why do i think zija has a privileged

significance here

because

for me zizek has brought

this project

to its furthest possible threshold to

its furthest possible conclusion

his specific ontology defined by

uh the self-relating negativity of being

a self-relating negativity that merely

justifies the possibility of giving

reflexive philosophical

um

expression to it to me

arrives at the threshold and limit of

the logos

to me zizek um

resolves the problem in his own way

um he resolves the problem by

inscribing the gap

um

a gap inherent to being

as a quality

of the thing itself sorry the gap

between for example thinking and being

as a quality of being itself but ggek is

only capable of

describing this in

negative terms

jesus can only describe this in negative

terms because for him

um

sorry i keep saying um

for zizek he can only describe this in

negative terms

because his enterprise merely uh

merely uh concerns itself

with relations

deriving thereof from this original

logos

not from a question of its actual

beginning

what does that mean by the way

what does that mean

to give you an example

when jesus talks

um

for example about

when he speaks about

this kind of uh incontinence of the void

of how

the void of how the nothingness is

pregnant

pregnant with uh

with something that's something by the

way just being

the way in which it is not itself

he describes this strictly in terms of

the negation of identity

and of form

he does not make the leap to the

recognition

that somehow

positive form in actual reality itself

does not make pretense

to the enterprise of full consistency

or um

full uh

oh um

full being devoid of contradictions

contradictions are something that

relate to our mind the contradictions

inherent to being as such

are not contradictions but features

of the positive being itself

it's the problem

only enters when we make assumptions

about what that positive being is

in our mind in our head

in other words i'll give you an example

of this

zizek for example critiques the idea of

a people who have substantive roots he

says no this idea of having roots in a

country or a nation

my god it's pure ideology because why

because a human subject according to

zizek is by nature defined by

uh some kind of constitutive

ruthlessness some constitutive gap that

separates us

from some organic social whole and that

our idea of roots is just some fantasy

we have in our heads to cope with that

fact

the problematic arrogance of what jesus

says here

simply lies in the fact that he is

making the assumption that when people

speak about their roots

they are talking about uh um

annihilating this same constitutive gap

but

what if when we make reference to our

roots

we're not talking about

some um

some uh

some um

some uh

some closure of the gap between an

individual and the organic social whole

as some constitutive fantasy what if the

roots in question to put them in western

philosophical terms are precisely the

way we are rooted in a specific

gap

from the social whole

so jesuit for example thinks he's wise

when he says

um

a subject constitutively

is necessarily uh separated

from the so some from its whole okay

fine but the way in which we are

separated is something specific

so when we make reference to our roots

when we make reference to a specific

nation or civilization or so on we're

just making reference to the specific

way in which this is

we are presupposing that fact

all of this precise problem of the way

zizek makes the assumption unjustifiably

about positive being

is where we can locate the origin of all

of zija's problematic politics

zizek has not arrived at the wisdom of

the fact that the insight the insight he

has developed in philosophical terms

is not just true for a philosophical

subject it is not just true for you slav

if

let's say

there is a constitutive gap

in the real itself

and of being itself that is true for

being in a way

that is also beyond

its philosophical articulation in

thought

this precise relation

also is exactly what defines material

reality

the materiality and materialism then

acquires even a different definition and

a different meaning

what is material is not

is not some naive uh notion of the real

and neither is it the materialism of of

of pure difference and and and uh

negativity as

zizek would like to put it materialism

would simply then

just refer to

the way

in which

uh the relations he describes are true

and this way is antecedent and comes

first do you want to know what this

means

it means before slavoy zizek

is a philosopher

slavojiijek is a slovenian

you see

slovenian for example national identity

is

more true

philosophically

than the specific form of philosophical

annunciation arrived

now to me

this opens up again

positive being

in a way

that must necessarily go beyond the

threshold of the western logos why

because western logos is not just

identif is not just defined by as i put

it the identity of difference

also western logos is also defined

precisely by the assumption that zizek

makes

that this

identity of difference

is the beginning

before but however before there is an

identity of difference

there is a way in which there is an

identity of difference

out of which our

abstract identity of difference

is derivative as an abstraction from the

reality

so it's not that we abstract from some

substantive wholesome reality and

identity of pure difference here stands

heraclitus who views the world

constantly in motion and constantly in

flux so that he attracts and derives

this identity of pure difference

as the truth of all being heraclitus his

shortsightedness only lies in the fact

that

the abstraction of the identity of

difference the abstraction of the logos

does not come

from the straw man the logos made

about nothingness

it as a matter of fact

derives from

a specific way in which there's a unity

between identity and difference

so the insight heraclitus had arrived at

was not then reapplied

to reality itself

heraclitus

let's just say the ma the west as we

know it the west is defined by

ungratefulness

ladies and gentlemen

he the west is defined by ungratefulness

it's divine by an ungratefulness which

refuses to respect how

the thing that allowed you to arrive at

the abstraction

is not simply

the opposite of the abstraction it

contains the deeper truth and wisdom of

that abstraction itself

which is particular

and therefore material

he would say his material reality is

antecedent to his national identity he

may say that fracking is good he may say

that

but then he's going to support the west

in ukraine against russia

so you tell me he will say that sure but

is it the truth

how can his material reality of his

being be untested into his national

identity when the material reality of

his being already assumes particularity

and particular form

now

this beyond this of the threshold of

being i have just described to you

this is as a matter of fact

what dugan

alexander dugan describes as chaos

in opposition to logos dugan insists on

chaos

most of you when you hear the word chaos

are still going to be

limited within the narrow horizon of

logos you are going to think of chaos as

randomness you're going to think of

chaos as some

structural instability of the logos

itself some kind of

um relation of the logos itself some

disorder

right

but chaos cannot be thought of disorder

or uh

structural relation because this itself

presupposes that logos is um the

privileged

horizon of order itself

which is a false assumption

for dugan

chaos is in his own words

the maternal waters the womb out of

which logos is born

i will also give you a

radical example of

how this chaos is described in the

history of the west

ladies and gentlemen it is none other

than material reality

when dugan speaks of chaos he is talking

about

a material reality had a sergeant in the

army who loved zizek good stream thank

you veyrock appreciate you

very i appreciate you

so this is for dugan chaos

therefore

dugan's um

philosophy somehow

is precisely in a way

one step from zizek

just one step

zizek exhausts the western logos in the

form of

some paradoxical

he calls it nothing less than nothing

that is pregnant

with particular things the particular

things being themselves some

self-relation

of nothingness

but once we actually give justice to

their particularity not just justice but

antecedents to their particularity where

are we ladies and gentlemen we are in

dugan's geopolitics

we are in

a specific

analysis of different

uh geo

geopolitical realities positive being

we are then on the side of positive

being particular russian civilization

chinese civilization et cetera et cetera

of multi-polarity we are returned then

our mind is then oriented toward

the possibility of a hypothetical

other logos another beginning

which somehow

includes

its origins in chaos

not only includes its origins and chaos

but establishes a particular

relationship

to these origins in chaos and this is

basically what

uh

what dugan's

uh

his most mature project is defined as

it's in search of a dark logos mapping

and he's like a huge like 20 volume

project he's on

mapping out these specific um

unique logos of different civilizations

so dugan is on the side of positive

being and jijic is on the side of

negativity zizek will accuse dugan of

being

insufficiently thank you auntie sterner

what coached was for hegel and heidegger

osi's priscilla the hegelian and dugan

the hyderian

thank you stern that's very flattering

very very flattering

um

yeah in a way infrared is a it's a

synthesis of dugan and zizek why because

how do i sublate both dugan and zizek

ready

this

streaming

this is how i do it

for me

streaming is jizekian

because it's about gaps

and the constitutive difference and this

kind of paradoxical um parallax

gap

uh inherited things between the observer

and the streamer and yada yada yada the

inability to

uh

have some wholesome reality but then

it's also on the side of dugan

because it's a uh

it's also walking the talk in a sense

right it's like i'm actually doing it

instead of just talking about it which

is what g jackie and scholars do check

in scholars just

find different ways to talk and have

discourse about zizek instead of doing

zizek

uh not in that sense but

instead of actually drawing out his the

conclusion of his thinking in some kind

of way

did you see this

you see the subreddit post mocking your

chinese website and chinese viewers

where

our reddit is dead okay so where's the

subreddit

our reddit is has been dead for a long

time you want to know why because we're

not a community of fucking redditors

where is it

older chinese drama about a chinese man

russian one

okay i don't

you're gonna have to

just show it to the mods okay

show it to the mods

show it to the mods

anyway

anyway um

based

and brought geopolitics back after

western marxism soid out on it the old

clause would see an ml's i grew up with

all talked like dugan all the time

reminding people of the primary

contradiction

yeah so dj reproaches someone like dugan

with disgust for zach dugan is extremely

vulgar because

dugan um

he

is like insufficiently critical dugan

believes in real particular things which

zizek would are ultimately only

the fantastical way in which

they enter our subjective horizon but

of course when you understand dugan and

you read dugan you recognize

when dugan speaks of the great whatever

russian civilization

he's doing it

with a sense of maturity with his

particularly

non-western ability to intuitively

acknowledge a reality that is not

reducible to the way we enjoy it

it's not reducible to the way it enters

or dwells within our subjective horizon

it's a reality that is there

it's as much ability we can acknowledge

uh as

someone in the west may acknowledge

nature it's not reducible to the ways in

which it imposes it's if anything it's

like a symptom that defines the

multiplicity of our fantasies it itself

is not a fantasy or a constitutive

fantasy and of any kind of way

to me the relation between dugan and

zizek is the same as the relation

between east and west

they don't necessarily exclude one and

another

but

they must be respected according to

their own um

according to their own

let's just say uh

according to their own pretenses

now one problem maybe with dugan is

my critique of dugan probably is this

right

for me dugan uh

also does not care about

the

particular concrete relations maybe he

does i don't know defining

uh western philosophical thought for

example i'll just give you an example of

this

when dugan talks about

a given philosophy or a given concept

of course he's correct

uh

when he is making the argument this is

the essence of

it right

but

he um

makes it seem like that's the same as

having the same identity as it so in

other words

dugan for example says things like um

all politics contains a philosophy for

example

uh

to me the problem with saying something

like this is not that um

politics does not contain

the essence of philosophy

but that he

is just assuming

something about the logos

that is unjustifiable so to me

i'm not sure if dugan can appreciate the

bringing of uh

western logos to its final threshold and

to me this is just convinced by the fact

that he has not

given much consideration as far as i

know right i could be wrong to hegel

forget just cj just to hegel in general

and the significance of hagel

so to me there's a very specific russian

um

way in which uh

dugan responds to the west which is

somehow still caught within that same

uh

archaeo-modern structure he mentioned

before but to be fair

when dugan searches for a particular um

russian logos

escaping this structure of archaeo

modernity to me i think

i think uh he is correct

but

i think it's not possible unless we um

can exhaust

the western logos through hegel

specifically

through hegel specifically

uh so that's just probably my criticism

of dugan

talking about this

what the fuck

oh this one

yeah these are just cherry picked

comments

these are just the cherry picked

comments most of the comments are are

very positive you can go check yourself

but the the redditors on destiny's

reddit are not going to like see that

they're just going to see this cherry

pick shit and whatever guys they're

living in a they're living look you have

to understand lakhan and zeejay to get

this shit right they're living in their

own fantasy this is their constitutive

fantasy and it's a very specific bubble

that maintains their psychological uh

their psychological well-being right so

don't disturb that habitat let them

think what they want

because they need it or else they may do

they may do some harm to themselves or

others right so they need it right

if you're interested you can go look on

the video yourself and look at the

comments

these are just cherry pick negative

comments

see like he's showing comments with five

likes okay

so

yeah

yeah and it's also falsely translated

i think

let me show this to ezra

let me show this to ezra

i'm gonna just send it to him

uh i'm just gonna

send it to

because he's the one who's in charge of

that whole account

that's so weird

actually let me see let me see

[Music]

fuck man

so

let me check this out

okay

let's check this out

no it's not the right one

how many likes am i at

44 000 for the boss one

yeah how do i go to this channel right

here

yeah let's check it out maybe that maybe

the comments are overwhelmingly negative

now

well you're just talking

so this has 43 000 views

mongol not okay

this dude's scalding talent is full it's

fully automatic

logic is chaotic i'm not stupid

yeah it doesn't say virgin it says

scumbag and this guy's probably a

fucking

yeah like this is just a non-accurate

translation like

yeah oh i called you a virgin well no no

that's just fucking

your own cope right

um

modern history of europe is not less

than asia

yeah so you know

why they say porn it's this cool movie

and this person translated that's porn

see these like this is just like western

degeneracy on full display right

why would that be fucking porn you know

so this person's yeah most of these

comments are not negative

at least anglo-saxon finally surrendered

look at this mongolia's brought lending

technology to the west that far why

didn't they show these comments they

just showed the ones that were negative

some of these yeah what made pirates

feel superior to mongolia

look at that

nice job good scolding none they don't

show any of the fucking i don't even see

these negative uh

comments

see they're showing comments with like

you have to search really hard for for

like they have like two likes or some

shit

to be fair like one of them was

um so yeah that's just super fucking

that's just cope i guess this is not an

accurate

um

view

of what the uh

comments are okay

so yeah

but apparently they also show the wash

one

i don't know why they're like uh doing

shit

with the channel and why do you give a

fuck i don't know

wait yeah nobody calls me a coomer what

the fuck

they're not even uh talking about me

when they're talking about the

anglo-saxon they're talking about the

guy i'm arguing with

see they think oh i think both are

anglo-saxons yeah they're not fucking

talking about me

okay

it's so crazy how they're interested i

never would expected they cared about

that

i think they're trying to be too

universal okay let me continue guys by

the way when i end this video and um i

want someone in the comments just get

all the time stamps of the lecture so

like get it where it starts

and then um

get it after the pause

so we could skip the pause and then get

it after this detour i just went to so

continuing

um

we don't have a lot of time so i'm gonna

just try to wrap this up

my thesis is that

to me

somehow

it's marx

who unites

g-check

the apogee of the logos of dialectics

sorry the apogee of dialectics within

the frame of the western logos

and then dugan who stands for a pure

chaos beyond the threshold of the same

logos and to me

marx accomplishes the unity of both the

synthesis of both

in the form of

marxist humanism

specifically which privileges the

significance of the proletariat so for

me

marx who exhausts the hegelian

philosophy which is the apogee of the

dialectic under the western logos

uh which stands for some minimum of

positive being

which marks first identifies as

proletariat

but now i want to propose a kind of

hermeneutic device

in order to understand the history of

marxism and the history of communism

the only real critique of marks and

angles that um

makes sense

and you know what we're doing microsoft

paint okay

the only one that makes sense to me is

uh this one

this one

so in this critique

here you have um

eagle let's just call h hegel right

and then marx and angles

immediately privilege

the first

instance of the material form

that impresses them phenomenally outside

of hegel which is what

uh proletariat

in

industrial crawl

uk

right sorry let's just

england

what marx and engels probably got wrong

probably they didn't get it wrong

because they were the whole course of

their life is defined by

a correcting of the problem

they do not try to begin here

at the outer ridges of

the materiality

the antecedent materiality here

this is

russian

rus

murr

commune

if they began here they would have

predicted the october revolution in 1848

they only predicted in the uh at the end

of their life right

but

from the prolific the proletariat

represents the first let's say hatching

of

the logos out of the new a new logos out

of chaos so to me marx is the thinker of

a new logos

his logos

being in the form of his humanism

dugan says that his philosophy of chaos

wants to begin with the principle of

inclusiveness

but this is precisely what marx

accomplishes marx accomplishes this

inclusion of all of philosophy in all of

its might

into

the background of the material relations

of production human history in its

actual material reality but also

materiality is not just

relations to production it is also the

form that relations of production take

in national civilizational even

religious et cetera et cetera ways which

are themselves

marking definite material

um realities

so to me um

to me

there's a new beginning for marx

in the

synthesis of zizek and dugan

also in

as a point of understanding uh dugan's

inclusiveness

sorry idea of a principle of

inclusiveness

this is also marx's humanism marxist

humanism is an inclusivist principle why

because marx does not impose a logos of

humanity marx says humanity is

the fruit of our investigation of the

world of man

which is something dugan is also doing

dugan says in his

project in search of a dark logos i want

to discover a given civilization a given

form of humanity i will make no

assumptions about it but instead begin

from

a philosophy of chaos which operates

under the principle of inclusion not

logocentric exclusion which means i will

begin with the a priori assumption this

human reality is meaningful in the way

in which it is embedded

in its own mother chaos

its own mother chaos its own motherland

each people

have a specific unique relation to their

own uh motherland

for example

so it's a different way of putting it so

uh

here

here is um

how to understand the history of

communism

from marx's discovery of

human logos

human logos which by the way is the

synthesis and unity

of logos

sorry dialectics as they are exhausted

within the auspice of the western logos

and all of the

complex particular relations defining it

thereof and hegel's speculative

philosophy

somehow now

re-embedded into this material world

of relations of production

now western marxists are trying to make

the relations of production

some kind of um

philosophical transcendental horizon by

which we mediate the relationship

between thought and being they're trying

to kind of

turn marx

into uh

this

this um philosopher

who simply substitutes

the various concepts and so on a

philosophy with something called

relations of production only someone

like dugan can allow us to appreciate

what marx means by material relations of

production

outside of the horizon of

the western logos of idealism and of uh

philosophy itself

what marx means by relations to

production is the real relations of

production humanity in its actual

reality which means what for marx at the

end of his life it means the russian

mur the russian commune

inherited from the past

we didn't contrive this philosophically

right but that's our reality

it just in the same way the proletariat

is initially for marx the industrial

proletariat of england

then it's the russian peasant of the

murakami who becomes remarks a

revolutionary subject somehow

relations to production

uh do not um

[Music]

do not

operate under the standard of the

western logos

this dialectical materialism is already

beyond the western logos

[Music]

it's a return

to

mother chaos

uh the difference i have with dugan is

that mother chaos is not chaotic

mother chaos is not enough

that's just a kind of undialectical

materialism to me

so

on this note i have to conclude

today's lecture

let's conclude with this

for me at least

you

were protesting

in russia you are

now not just some abstract

internationalists

oh he's talking about russians

protesting

against putin i thought he okay

anyway i don't want to listen to his

dick riding anyway guys

i'm gonna have to see you tomorrow

so i'll see you tomorrow guys

[Music]

just

[Music]

goodbye

[Music]

[Applause]

me
