This podcast episode dives into the critique of postmodernism by philosopher Slavoj Zizek. Zizek argues that the rejection of universal truths and the emphasis on individual experiences in postmodernism paradoxically leads people to embrace ideology without realizing it. This pursuit of surface-level experiences alienates individuals from deeper meanings and implications, creating a sense of ideological blindness. Zizek also critiques the dangers of political correctness and cancel culture, highlighting the importance of engaging with the complexities of our current dominant way of thinking.
