In my virtual lecture in Iran this morning, we ended up asking Chat GPT about five ways to make life more meaningful, then had a discussion about whether the answers were just clichés. Then someone imagined Slavoj Žižek asking Chat GPT 5 ways to make his life even more meaningless, which, of course, is a plausible scenario. I started by simply asking Chat GPT to name 5 ways to make my life even more meaningless, but of course it refused, telling me that I needed to seek professional counseling, etc. etc.

Objects Untimely, which I co-authored with Christopher Witmore (Classics, Texas Tech) has been officially published in the UK. Don’t worry about the “temporarily out of stock” part. We know that the book has been printed and copies have been sent to various places, so any shipping delay will be minimal.
The last time I checked, availability in North America is set for June 1. But it can be purchased from British booksellers now.
