Do you ever feel like you’re awake… but something still isn’t real?
In this episode of Philosophy for Better Humans, narrator Charles Sebastian Whitby takes you deep into the thought of Slavoj Žižek, the philosopher who insists that ideology is not what we believe — but what gives structure to belief itself.
Together we explore:
- the illusions that protect us
- the pain of confronting the Real
- why we repeat habits we hate
- the invisible audience shaping our choices
- capitalism’s cage disguised as playground
- the digital world’s capture of desire
- how to live awake without becoming cold or hopeless
This is not philosophy as abstraction — but philosophy as liberation. By the end, you’ll understand not only how ideology works… but how to walk through the world with clearer eyes and a freer heart.
If you’re looking for growth, depth, and an honest confrontation with meaning — press play.
