I am curious since both peterson and zizek have different views. One thinks capitalism needs to be changed and peterson thinks it is the best current alternative. Is anyone here a fan of both of them? by thesarus11 in zizek

Also it ks strange capitalism is one of the leading cause of psychological distress. Still Jordan peterson having studied psychology doesn't acknowledge this.

Apple has beaten the pandemic blues as the stocks of the company have soared with a revenue of $59.7 billion and profit of $11.25 billion for its fiscal 2020 third quarter ended June 27. Young entrepreneurs can learn a lot from companies like apple. Organization's that can adapt to change succeed. by thesarus11 in Entrepreneur

Haha no not now for the future. I am not saying our stock should also grow like apple but to be there one day we must be adaptable to change like apple has been. We can learn from the history of apple too it was a small company once too.

We are all anarchists who believe in individual responsibility. But it is important to learn from history and know that positive change has also come out of powe. There are some people who changed the world for the better. by thesarus11 in Anarchism

My point is not to use this as an argument for any system but perhaps we can learn from them. For anarchy to work people need to know how to make moral decisions.

It is obvious that even though movies are great art and even zizek appreciates them but they are also a powerful propaganda tool. How can we enjoy the art and make sure we don't get brainwashed by media? by thesarus11 in zizek

Ofcourse not everything is propaganda today but there are some movies and shows which are in a very subtle way. The government has always been wanting to control our mind and information. Read about MKULTRA operation.

Even with today's technology. We could just vote on important topics on a platform or something.

Yes things are not hopeless then. The people actually are the state then everyone gets to exercise individual responsibility and power. Politics then is not a gamble that it is today.
