Buckle up buckos. There was no good video on YouTube that covers Lacan's Real. This is it. It's very long and sometimes slow, but please leave a comment for me if you think it hit the mark.

The theory in this video is an amalgam of Lacan's Seminar content, but because I only had one book at home when I wrote it, the quotations come from Seminar XI (https://amzn.to/37eJlAr).
