Is There a Transition From the Discipline to the Achievement Society?
Zizek sometimes talks about in psychoanalysis where patients, like with the inner lazands, their problem would often be a problem of having too much desire that they can't suppress. But now it's like the opposite where people and lazands are finding that they're anxious and ashamed of not having enough desire. So they feel the social pressure to have desire to enjoy,. enjoy more things, have more weird, try out new sexual experiments, do more things and fulfill all your desires. Then people will feel shame if they're like, well, I don't really have these desires and these messages I'm supposed to be enjoying all these things. so maybe there's something wrong with me.
