But to dream about it. Happiness is for opportunists. So I think that the only life of deep satisfaction is a life of eternal struggle, especially struggle with oneself. If you want to remain happy, just remain stupid. Authentic masters are never happy; happiness is a category of slaves.” ― Slavoj Žižek, Interview with the Guardian, October 2014 -//- Original YouTube: https://youtu.be/lorX77nu3Jk Published April 2024 by Seton Hall University https://www.youtube.com/@setonhall --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/william-engels/support
