I'm excited to watch the JBP-Žižek thing. I want to be angry at myself for that but I'm just not. I want the insipid resolution of a boxing match.
So the idea of a spectacle that could start AND THEN END is just absolutely seductive and exhilarating. It won't happen that way. I'll be disappointed. But the possibility is enough to seduce me.

There's a sense in which going to a debate is kind of like going white-water rafting - you're putting yourself, recreationally, into the sort of situation that your ancestors would have considered to be deadly serious. We as a species tame our fears, turn them into toys?
