As the global liberal order fractures, philosopher Slavoj Zizek joins How To Academy to search for signs of the world to come. Erudite and comic, ironic and profound, Zizek has spent decades venturing where few dare to tread, and at 77 shows no sign of softening. In an evening of dark humor built for a dark era, he confronts genocide, techno-feudalism, and planetary crisis to ask what stems the flow of despair, and what fragile hope for the future looks like from here.
