Zizek on capitalism solving its own problems

He's just always killing it. Nice animation too.

If these charities/consumer ethics simply delay the problem by giving the consumer a 'complete package,' (you can buy your new shoes WHILE purchasing away your guilt!) should we participate in them, temporarily saving a few cows/children here and there? Or should we rebel against them, by further spiraling into the morally reprehensible purchases, and showing capitalism that we are not simply consumers who can buy away our beliefs.

Or rather, is assuming that consumer behavior can advance a belief system at all just further spiraling into the grips of capitalism? We should continue purchasing as we do, playing apathetic to consumption, while seeking other means to solve the problem in the long-term (science, legality, etc).

Bass music revolution

There is a large difference between hearing/knowing about bass (in your headphones lets say) and FEELING bass. They are two completely different phenomenological experiences. This is what adults don't understand. It is purely a characteristic of the younger generation.

Music cannot only be thought of as a series of information anymore. It is an immersive bodily experience. This is our generation's rebellion against the so-called "information paradigm."

Dubstep IS the revolution.
