Are we living in the end times?
Is the world ignoring signs of the so-called “end times”? According to renowned philosopher Slavoj Zizek the capitalist system is pushing us all towards an apocalyptic doomsday. He points to the faltering economy, global warming and deteriorating ethnic relations as evidence. On Thursday’s Riz Khan we speak with Zizek, who has been called the “most dangerous philosopher in the West”, about his controversial theories and prognosis for the future.

consider the infinite fragility of an infant’s skull
how the bones lie soft and open
only time knitting them shut
consider a delicate porcelain bowl
how it crushes under a single blow
-in one moment whole years disappear
consider that beneath the din of explosions
no song can be heard
no cry
consider your own sky on fire
your name erased
your children’s lives ‘a price worth paying’
consider the faces you do not see
the eyes you refuse to meet
‘collateral damage’
how in these words
the world cracks open
