worth a listen

If only for the remarkable reversal of the concepts of concrete vs. abstract.

The lecturer is Slavoj Zizek



This is only the first 10mins. If you can overlook his annoying public-speaking mannerisms, the whole lecture is here.
He touches lightly on so many topics..and each time has startling ideas to put forward. And almost always arguing the opposite of what you intuitively believe.
I was able to understand most of it, but sometimes I was only hanging on by the fingertips...and I was totally lost on the questions
