Slavoj Zizek and Jordan Peterson debate on the concept of Happiness: Capitalism vs Marxism. The event was billed as “the debate of the century”, “The Rumble in the Realm of the Mind”, and it did have the feel of a heavyweight boxing match: Jordan Peterson, local boy, against the slapdash Slovenian Slavoj Žižek in Toronto.

Peterson gets absolutely demolished by Zizek! 🤣

    “Peterson shows up after having months to prepare only to admit he’s only read Marx’s manifesto” FTFY 🙂

      In diving deeply into the multifaceted layers of the video in question, your discernment, I must confess, aligns with the veritable truth. I found myself, quite tangibly, dwarfed by the intellectual prowess exuded by Zidel. It’s almost as though, in this dance of minds, I was but a novice juxtaposed against a seasoned maestro. And the sheer elegance with which he presented his arguments, well, it added an additional layer of gravity to the profound realization of my own cognitive inadequacies in comparison to his evident sophistication.
