    Slavoj Žižek: 'Humanity Is OK, But 99% of People Are Boring Idiots'

    Uploaded by

    Slavoj Žižek, a renowned philosopher, does not actually know the number of his own apartment door in Ljubljana, Slovenia. When giving directions to his photographer, Žižek suggests the number may be 20 but is unsure. He checks his door and confirms the number. Žižek also points out buildings he dislikes in the distance, including a counter-culture establishment whose members "hate" him and are the type of "radical leftists" he hates. Most other buildings are government ministries, which he also hates. Inside his sparsely decorated apartment, Žižek explains that he uses his kitchen cabinets to store clothes rather than discard them

    Slavoj Žižek: 'Humanity is OK, but 99% of people


    are boring idiots'

    Slavoj Žižek doesn't know the door number of his own apartment in Ljubljana. "Doesn't
    matter," he tells the photographer, who wants to pop outside. "Come back in through the main
    door, and then just think in terms of politically radical right; you turn from left to right, then at
    the end, right again." But what's the number, in case he gets lost? "I think it's 20," Žižek
    suggests. "But who knows? Let's double check." So off he pads down the hallway, opens his
    door and has a look.

    Waving the photographer off, he points in the distance across the Slovenian capital. "Over
    there, that's a kind of counter-culture establishment – they hate me, I hate them. This is the
    type of leftists that I hate. Radical leftists whose fathers are all very rich." Most of the other
    buildings, he adds, are government ministries. "I hate it." Now he's back in the living room, a
    clinically tidy little sliver of functional space lacking any discernible aesthetic, the only
    concessions being a poster for the video game Call Of Duty: Black Ops, and a print of Joseph
    Stalin. Žižek pours Coke Zero into plastic McDonald's cups decorated in Disney merchandising,
    but when he opens a kitchen cupboard I see that it's full of clothes.

    "I live as a madman!" he exclaims, and leads me on a tour of the apartment to demonstrate why
    his kitchen cabinets contain only clothing. "You see, there's no room anywhere else!" And
