Zijek is fascinated by "unkown knowns" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x0eyNkNpL0&t=189s https://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/10/09/horseshoe-luck/ Implicit facts that people "dont believe" but still live with on a deep level.

"interpasitivity" from Robert Falher is very interesting, "others are passive for us". (think about a "laugh track" in a tv show, it "laughs" for you.)

....

Think about "porn plots" - you have to immerse people, even with completely ridiculous stories, in order for people to have an experience.

Offering to pay to communicate that you care about someone, even if the other person is rich or will definitely pay. "No Apology Needed!" is most often said when an apology is needed.

Humans struggle to communicate reality.

We dont need to "just learn other stories" to learn to trust people. We don't understand ourselves, why would we demand others understand us? and would it really help if they did? we need to allow for some "non-understanding".

The SUblime object of ideology

Like feud analyzing dreams, Marx's analysis of commodities, looking for labor expressed as value obscured by commerce, this was super interesting to all of social science ((and perhaps what disturbed the right about social science)).

Quantitative abstractions to measure natural things started with commerce, not science, acc to Alfred sohn rethel.
