V-2nd - 2: clocks and mirrors

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

Well, in some regards Zizek's ideas sound terribly behaviouristic. Just
listen to what he says in this week's edition of 'Der Spiegel':

"Mein Freund Peter, zum Beispiel, fucking Sloterdijk, ich mag ihn sehr,
aber natürlich muss er in den Gulag. Aber er wird ein bisschen besser
gestellt dort, vielleicht kann er Koch werden."

Slavoj Zizek (in "Der Spiegel", 27/2010, p. 100)
 
This is, of course, truly disturbing and thus very very inappropriate ...
