- Duane Rousselle's interest in Lacanian theory began arbitrarily through Žižek's work.

- Duane Rousselle sold all his belongings and moved his family to study at the European Graduate School.
- He worked as Žižek's assistant, transcribing for YouTube and writing book blurbs.

- He argues for a return to a universal political project, like Saul Newman.
