a) On the phone we tell Slavoj Žižek we’ll wait in the “Bar Platana” on Kongresni. “I must know where it is, I know everything!” he says and picks us up by taxi.
b) “Nonsense. This is stupid enlightened humanism!”
c) “One of the most disgusting things is when what you secretly dream about is brutally imposed on you from the outside. We have a nice name for a realized dream, it’s called a nightmare.”
d) “I am a Lacanian psychoanalyst. Ethics yes, but ethics without morality.”
         e) So morality is obscene.
“Yes. Usually for philosophers, these immoral, old-fashioned existential terms, you choose your Entwurf and you remain faithful to it whatever the cost. But I don’t see the opposition between morality always has this element of narcissistic satisfaction in patronizingly imposing upon others. That you know better than the other what is good for the other.”
