Failure Is Freedom

Love Is Evil - Slavoj Zizek

Martin Season 1 Episode 6

How do I know what I like? This is the question at the center of this podcast. Do I like what I like because it's what others like, or do I like it because I like it. Another form of this central question is, is it even possible to be authentic? The language that you speak, the concepts that you think, and the desires of your heart, all came from outside of you. So, what can authenticity even mean to a self that has been determined by outside forces since before it came into being? Let's try to get to the bottom of this, is authenticity an illusion, or is it possible to get free? And let's use 70's DeeJay culture to show us the way.
