zizek, I have concerns about your ability to understand English.
My Dear Bob,
I made a post describing the absurdity of how a handful of incredibly powerful individuals have complete control over the fate of humanity (please ignore my hyperbole). I then made another post that was supposed to be a humorous fictional account of the tragedy.
And instead of addressing the main point of my post. You know, how we live in a society that it's totally okay and normal that the fate of 7 billion people can be controlled by a handful of people. You respond by doing this:
*puts on top hat and monocle*
"actually Zizek, in post #423 of
Re: If not Capitalism... then What? And, How? the man mentions the word
shareholder value. "
*snorts*
"Interesting that you bring that up"
*scrambles around to find lecture stick. pulls down graph titled:
Renewable Energy - Historical Costs *
"as you can see, costs of renewable have been going down. I can draw a conclusion that the oil and coal will no longer hold any value for shareholders."
*turns to the audience, straightens collar, puffs up chest*
"And so what does this mean? Well, that Zizek's account of the future is completed disconnected from our reality. No projections suggest there will be any
apocalypse, or
huddling, or
storytelling. My friends, the markets will fix everything. No need to be worried"
