That is slavoj zizek. He does a lot of sniffing while he talks. It's pretty notable.
There is a Zizek clip where he (ironically?) proposes that instead of fulfilling the societal expectation of having sex, couples should use a pair of toys that do that work for them and enjoy some other more intellectual pursuit like having discussions over coffee or smth like that
(I probably got the details wrong, it's been a while since I've seen itl
I actually saw Slavoj live one time and had to sit through him repeating this information at the end of a lecture 😭
But that's kinda part of the Zizek experience, no?
True, tho I didn’t know him from social media I was just attending a philosophy lecture so was caught off guard 😂
Ngl having Zizek reading you a lecture sounds cool
He doesn't say intellectual pursuits, but more that people are free to actually be themselves, and then, later, maybe even have sex on their own terms
It's basically a commentary on societal expectations in social structures such as dating, by following the concepts such as using toys to have a "successful" date to its logical extreme
At least this is how I understand it
Toilets
..And so on, and so forth...
Disappointing fake, the real Zizek would have said "Chienche".
