   As far as Mr. Zizek’s lecture is considered (Ecology – A new Opium of the Masses), capitalism may seem concrete, but it’s like the way he mentioned Bill Gage, something which is frozen. And, they all tend to depend on this, otherwise they are considered to be “against his law”, like he is god or something.

   Let’s think that most times, people are absorbed by something else, like catastrophes, etc., though they know they have to fight for their future, for the market, for their making ends living. Though, they don’t cause there are impressed by people running companies like WWF, let’s say, who fight for something or someone’s good or for nature’s good, though they are the richest.

   But, on the other hand, they haven’t got even a penny for themselves and they try to do something for such companies! This is the appearance of the Big Other. They feel underestimated in front of them, cause they think that if they don’t do something immediately, they will be guilty, they feel remorses for something that they don’t even know! They never know what is happening behind all these and they forget themselves.

   As for the appearance, I think that Lacan is right! It’s our inside, nothing superficial, there always can be a New Subject, but through psychoanalysis, otherwise we can’t meet what is inside us, what we hide. The unconscious can never be discovered at all, it can be written, but not understood… So, I conclude that appearance is not the blood inside us or that someone has to think our body inside, but our soul inside and how we “cultivate” it. The Big Other will always be our mystery, this is the mystery for us, for the reason that we never know when we will meet the Big Other! And, this uncertainty might make us feel depressed, but this is our creativity in depth…

   Thank you.
