Are You Really Free? Slavoj Žižek on Choice, Control, and Power

Are we truly free, or are our desires, choices, and even our rebellions secretly controlled by powerful, invisible forces? In this video, we dive deep into the mind of Slavoj Žižek, the controversial and provocative philosopher who exposes the hidden mechanisms of ideology. We'll explore how ideology isn't just about explicit beliefs, but about the unspoken assumptions, the "obscene underside," and the perverse enjoyments that shape our everyday lives. Learn about Lacan's concepts of the Real, the Symbolic, and the Imaginary, and how they relate to our understanding of freedom, power, and control. Discover why "choice" can be an illusion, why we often enjoy our own subjugation, and what it might really mean to transgress and break free. This isn't just philosophy; it's a toolkit for critical thinking, self-awareness, and navigating the complexities of modern culture. Join us as we unmask the hidden structures that shape our world. Prepare to have your assumptions challenged and your mind… blown.
