CBT is unironically a prime example of what Zizek means by pure ideology
Wow....
I wish somebody told me when I was young that I should take it easy if I'm upset, and believe in myself.
Nobody ever once said anything like that!
>>8788445
He also says that ideology is inescapable. So do you have any criticisms of CBT that show it is worse than other ideologies?
>>8788459
Being told to take it easy and being told how to take it easy are different.
>>8788504
There's a difference between saying okay there is ideology somewhere in here and trying to work within that limitation and full on trying to indoctrinate yourself in your own personal cult.
>>8788445
it's also useful

>He also says that ideology is inescapable.
You misunderstand what he means by this and what he means by ideology in general.
Its not that ideology is inescapable so much as ideology does exist in such a way that the question of escape is a sensible action.
Ideology should always be resisted

lmao

I think that you may be mistaken but if you are not then he is mistaken. Ideology is a part of cognition. An ideology may be more or less valid but as a whole it is inescapable.
>>8788513
No, all thought is incoherent without ideology.
>>8788672
>Ideology is a part of cognition.
Pure ideology.
>>8788680
Please provide a statement that is not pure ideology
>>8788707
Pure ideology is not the same as ideology btw.
Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
>>8788688
You are the one that implies ideology could be avoided leaving you with """""objective truth"""""

>a little boy who's got himself worked up because he doesn't think he can do the writing exercise he's been tasked with
more like little girl lmao
>>8788716
It can, though I would not use the word "avoid". Its just not simply in the autistic two dimensional framework that you understand the world in
