Žižek proposes a 'utopian' war zone for drone conflicts and critiques modern pornography as the loss of fantasy, arguing that human sexuality requires a third element (fantasy/AI) to function. He contrasts AI's strategic power with human 'stupidity' and rituals, arguing that human mistakes (like French cuisine) are creative. He critiques 'deep ecology' as arrogant anthropocentrism, reinterprets Trump as a 'liberal fetish' resulting from liberal crisis, and uses Orwell's 1984 to describe current geopolitical triads. He concludes with personal reflections on death, citing Hannah Arendt.

The ideas in it 10
in the order they first come up; click a row for what he does with the idea here
as “militarist utopia”
A hypothetical scenario where superpowers fight wars exclusively via drones in a desolate location (e.g., a desert), allowing civilians to live normally, representing a 'militarist' solution to conflict.
The extra 'thing' (fantasy, AI, porn) that must be inserted into sexual relations to sustain enjoyment, as direct human contact is insufficient.
as “language at zero point”
Cursing/swearing represents the point where language fails; it is the expression of frustration at being 'not totally at home in language.'
The human capacity to make irrational, unexpected mistakes that confuse AI, which is strictly rational and strategic; this 'stupidity' is a source of hope and human specificity.
as “turning failure into success”
The specifically human ability to transform a mistake or failure (e.g., rotten cheese) into a new positive form (e.g., French cheese), which AI cannot do spontaneously.
as “deep ecology as arrogance”
The critique that 'deep ecology,' by attributing value to nature, remains anthropocentric and arrogant, pretending to care for nature while placing humans in a unique, universal position of caretakers.
as “liberal fetish”
Trump is described as the 'last liberal fetish', not an anomaly, but the result of the crisis of the liberal democratic state, a symptom of liberal ideology itself.
as “chaotic communism”
Communism not as a utopian ideal, but as a necessary form of global coordination and emergency response (like basic income during crises) that liberal capitalism cannot sustain.
A description of the Serbian student protests as 'law and order' events, characterized by orderliness and cleanliness (cleaning up after occupying a bridge), contrasting with chaotic revolutionary tropes.
A personal distinction: Žižek does not fear death (the state of being dead) but fears the process of dying (suffering), preferring an instant, painless end.
Stories he reaches for 2
Richard Bernstein recounts Hannah Arendt dying during a debate: she would fall asleep, wake up, debate, fall asleep again, and finally not wake up, representing an ideal, happy death.
“she was sleeping for twenty minutes she reawakened debated again fell asleep again reawakened fell asleep and didn't reawaken”
Žižek jokes that there is no 'good mother earth' because many mega-catastrophes occurred before humanity, creating the coal and oil we use, proving nature is not a stable, benevolent background.
“there is no good mother earth are you aware how many mega catastrophes happened on our earth before even humanity was here”
Works invoked 2
1984 book
Žižek hates Orwell's vision but uses the book's geopolitical structure (three mega powers) to describe the current world order (US, Russia, China).
Pornhub/Pornography other
Used as an example of the 'horror' of modern sexuality, where the 'real woman' is insufficient without the fantasy of porn/AI.
People invoked 11
Eva Wiseman positive
A columnist (formerly at The Observer/Guardian) quoted by Žižek for her text on the horror of porn production; he finds her observation 'wonderful'.
Schmidt/Schultz positive
An unnamed CEO (likely referring to a tech executive like Schmidt or Schultz) who proposed using AI to solve ecological problems because ecology is 'lost'; Žižek likes this 'radical pessimist view'.
Kamala Harris negative
Cited as an example of liberalism that the left critiques, representing the 'antithesis of the populist right' but failing to analyze capitalism.
Jacques Lacan positive
Referenced implicitly through concepts like 'objet petit a' (implied by 'surplus enjoyment') and the structure of desire/fantasy.
Mentioned as a conservative liberal politician who implemented measures (like basic income) that violated market rules during the pandemic.
A friend who told Žižek the story of Hannah Arendt's death.
Described as the 'last liberal fetish' and a result of the crisis of the liberal democratic state; Žižek critiques the liberal focus on Trump rather than analyzing capitalism.
George Orwell positive
Žižek states he 'basically hate[s] Orwell's vision' of 1984 but finds 'one wonderful thing' in it: the triad of powers (Oceania, Eurasia, East Asia) mirroring current geopolitics.
Hannah Arendt positive
Cited via Richard Bernstein's anecdote about her death as an example of a 'happy death' (dying while engaged in philosophy/debate).
Grouped with Trump as speaking the 'same language' of old-fashioned, open-set geopolitics (e.g., claiming Greenland, Ukraine).
Sigmund Freud positive
Cited for the 'big lesson' that sexuality is structured by fantasy and the presence of a third element; Trump is the 'last liberal fetish' (Freudian term).

machines can be confused by us doing something that simply cannot be grounded in a rational reason for example i spoke with a friend who is very deeply in poker but poker played by artificial intelligence and so on and he said or even chess now we know that computers can artificial intelligence can beat every chess player but you know what gives you a hope if you do some irrational unexpected moves the artificial intelligence gets confused doesn't know how to react and so on and i think that the great thing about being human still is to make the right type of mistake not what not what artificial intelligence can do i know they can learn from mistakes and so on i'm not talking about learning from mistakes but to turn around what appears a mistake into a new positive form my eternal example i spoke with a french friend who and this is very rare for french people is very critical of france and he told me the great french cuisine but it can all be explained by laziness and stupidity like a guy was making cheese he was too lazy the cheese got rotten oh you get french cheese you know which smell bad or i don't know you have wine you don't do it correctly wine whatever processes you get champagne and so on so this idea of turning a failure a mistake as such into something new this i think is even i'm now even writing a book on it on this i think is what is specifically human so it's possible that's the first thing the second thing and here i would like to ask you since you are you explain it to me you are just voted out of despair the best of the bad choice the green party but you know whom i with whom i sympathize a ceo called some strange schultz or whatever schmidt i don't know the name had this idea it's clear that we are too late for to prevent this rising temperatures and so on the problem if you want to have supercomputers is that they spend a lot of energy so we cannot have green politics and mega computers but he said ecology is lost temperature will raise so we should put all our resources into artificial intelligence which will not only it will control our lives but it may even then in a way unknown to us it may even produce solutions for ecology that we even cannot imagine today i like this radical pessimist view because you know what i'm tired of this ecology which appears to be anti-anthropocentric but is but remains totally anthropocentric for example it's my old joke sorry if i repeat it there is no good mother earth are you aware how many mega catastrophes happened on our earth before even humanity was here that's how we got coal oil and so on so we cannot rely on nature as that stable background and so on second thing when we talk about how we should realize that we are just one of the among the species on the earth i find this basically a very arrogant position because while apparently humiliating us you are just one of the species it nonetheless gives us the unique universal position of taking care also for other species and so on and i wish we should at least be aware that there is deep ecology is at this level the most arrogant position that i can imagine we pretend to care for you know in deep ecology you even have the idea that not only animals and plants but even some valleys rivers mountains have their own value and so on no only for us they have it look at mountains do you know that till romanticism mountains were considered horror like till late seventeenth eighteenth century alps were just a place where you quickly went through to reach italy it's romantics who invented alps and switzerland and so on so my point is that the truly radical position is we cannot rely on nature as our mother some basic foundation and so on the situation is radically open everything is radically contingent we cannot rely on nature let's take some questions from the audience gonna start with ollie s he says has the left lost its identity beyond being the antithesis of the populist right i mean i would say that's more critique of the likes of kamala harris for example and that kind of liberalism but ollie thinks maybe the left its identity is the antithesis just you know being anti-faragism anti-trump no the first thing i would like to say here is that the left should first analyze capitalism in a much more radical way in the sense that as i like to say referring to freud i often repeat this formula that trump is the last liberal fetish why because all those liberal leftists who criticize trump they focus on trump to avoid the key question trump didn't fall from the moon trump is the result of the crisis of the liberal democratic state so the only way to get rid of trump is i know this sounds stalinist a self-criticism why can this can i'm not saying it will
