Two hours of Slavoj Žižek (Princeton, 2005)
The complete playlist, 13 parts.
“A man who believes himself to be a grain of seed is taken to a mental institution where the doctors do their best to finally convince him that he is not a grain but a man. When he is cured – convinced that he is not a grain of seed but a man – and allowed to leave the hospital, he immediately comes back trembling. There is a chicken outside the door that he is afraid will eat him. ‘Dear fellow,’ says his doctor, ‘you know very well that you are not a grain of seed but a man.’ ‘Of course I know it,’ replies the patient, ‘but does the chicken?’”
