I think this is the first time I've ever seen anyone quote Zizek unironically. I'm assuming you're not being ironic.


No, actually.

I mean, he is only so serious. But am I supposed to mock him? I don't think so.

Can I nitpick what he wrote? Sure. For example, the framing as "seduction" is -- I hate this word -- problematic.

Nevertheless, there is a kernel of truth: You have to stick your neck out.

Usually, in my experience, when you do this, it's actually appreciated. But yes, it's a little dangerous. That's life.
