We are all desiring subjects. But once we get what we desire, we cannot desire it anymore and the void that we wanted to fill, only shifted. But what is at the cause of this desire? And what is Objet petit a, and why does Lacan place this in the very center of his registers?

Hearing this news is sooooo much better than only finding out about it when I die. Thank you.

I had a college essay last semester and instead of reading How to Read Lacan, I just worked off this video and cited the quoted pieces of text. I got an A+

As an answer to the purported despair Lacan's message should instill in us, I might say that it makes one feel more despair, not knowing whence despair emanates. As soon as we can understand reality, there is a quiet contentment in knowing the almost poetic paradox of existence.

I'm so glad I found this channel. I searched for a long time and I had never found a content that explained Lacan in such a concise and rigorous way. I'm already looking forward to more videos about Lacan and Zizek. Congratulations on the excellent work. I cheer for you!

This really is some great stuff. I’ve been meaning to get into Lacan for a while, but it’s been pretty intimidating. I really do appreciate this, please don’t stop making these!!

I like to substitute Jouissance with Paradise and place God beyond the Real to not get suuuper depressed. Great video, thank you so much 😭

Great analysis and elaboration of the topic, thanks a lot! Can't help but notice again that psychoanalysts really don't even pretend to be interested in crafting unambiguous terms.
