All,
For this week, your task is simple, but I expect good work.
I would like you to argue for or against a point Žižek makes. quoting from the video and citing with a timestamp (0:13). I don't care if you love him or despise him, just argue cogently for or against him.
You may cite other philosophical or religious texts (probably theology, etc.) to argue against or for his views.
This may be of use:

If you're going to use philosophers to argue for Žižek, start with Lacan, Freud, and Marx.
If you'd like to argue against, Levinas, Chesterton, and anyone who argues against Marxism.
If you have moral or linguistic qualms about rewatching the videos again, do email me.
