The Debate

The debate Jordan Petersen the famous Canadian Professor debates Slavoj Zizek, the equally famous philosopher, is facing off. The Canadian is dressed in a blue three-piece suit that is too tight he wears expensive leather boots, looks calm, but his voice crackles. He thinks capitalism is for good, and I think of Ayn Rand, he is a formidable debater but has inner anger of something unsolved on his mind. Slavoj looks like someone homeless, T-shirt and tennis shoes He doesn´t belong to any group but thinks Hegel is excellent and often refer to his saying; Slavoj´s mind is sharp and he jumps from subject with the greatest of ease. Jordan is very much a junior in this debate that is about Marx and the nature of love. Jordan gives his opinion of Marx but is constrained by his thesis of capitalism, Slavoj picks his opinion apart; there is a tremble in Jordan’s voice when he disagrees. When debating the nature of love, he vax lyrical, Slavoj does not believe in this at all, he compares lovers’ sex as mutual masturbation, (often it is) but sees no wrong in this. Jordan is a one-dimensional professor, while Slavoj has a world view that encompasses everything the world has to offer, he is, in my opinion, a generous genius with a sense of rude jokes and laughter.
