I was really blown away by how many people were interested in this talk, so am sharing it here. It's titled "Reality is Incomplete." I look at mathematics, quantum physics, Hegel, Žižek, & Badiou to argue that reality itself is constituted around a void.

“Know thyself.” The second sentence in Hegel’s ‘Philosophy of Mind,’ right after he tells us that the mind is the most concrete and difficult thing to know. As I ponder the mind’s concretion, I bring it to life.

Žižek’s right. Anxiety points to an absence — whether it is the object of desire or the holes in reality itself. Lacan draws on Heidegger, who tells us that to “really” think calls forth angst. All other emotions (fear, joy, relief, etc) point back to lack and to anxiety.
