Every time the modern world feels like it's hit rock bottom, we drop further. For many, our current political climate is evidence that the world as we knew it is gone. But for radical philosopher Slavoj Žižek rock bottom, what he calls the "zero point," can be a place to retreat, rethink and regroup. In our increasingly multipolar, dangerous, and populist world, join Slavoj Žižek, the man who has been called "the most dangerous philosopher in the West," who argues that the only progress we can hope for will be found when we hit rock bottom, and only then will a path forward be possible.
