I think the struggles and suffering we go through during life can guide us to morality and, therefore, to what is "divine". Those things teach us about life, society and much more, developing our moral view of the world. In a religious way, it can definitely get us closer to God, which is something some christians do on purpose, as a way to "follow the steps" of Jesus. But on a more psychological side, those exact same things can make us do horrible things. Those who grow up in a poor and violent environment will most probably become poor and violent in the future. They become hopeless and pessimistic, and forget the most basic ethical principles, since the evil and unethical are the normal for them.

Well said once again! I hope you're having a great day so far today (wherever you are). Your comment on how some Christians subject themselves to certain struggles on purpose to "follow the steps" of Jesus reminds me of the 2016 movie "Silence" about missionaries in Japan, I think you may enjoy it (hopefully). Yes, it definitely does seem like different people react in opposite ways after experiencing struggle. Some come out more balanced having witnessed how low humanity can stoop and others become consumed by pessimism.

Ghost here. I have discovered this channel while searching for Murakami's work. It makes me very happy to encounter such a thoughtfoul, well-written analysis on Dostoevsky's work, considering he has been one of my favorite authors since I first read Crime and Punishment more than a decade ago. Seeing the world through this author's lenses, a mix of existential dread, despair, hope, settlement, and multiple St. Petersburg mentions (to the extent which I have a very clear image of how it looked like on smaller pieces such as White Nights) has shaped some of my taste for the Russian literature as a whole, and of myself, as someone who will always wonder which way to choose, balancing between the axe and the imagination. Thank you for sharing your brilliance!

He was not imprisoned for reading banned books, he was imprisoned for being a member of a conspiracy/social circle that advocated the overthrow of the tsar, by means of revolution if absolutely necessary to "free the serfs". This is according to quotes by both Dostoevsky and the police officer arresting him, which I was provided in "Dostoevsky, his life and work" by Konstantin Muchovsky. The person whose mysterious and devilish character attracted Dostoevsky to this conspiracy (meant in the broad sense of the term) was later transformed and immortalized by Dostoevsky by the creation of "Nikolai Stavrogin" in "The Possessed".

Well said! Looking back, I did misrepresent that sentence a little in my script.

@@Litburo No problem. Several sources seems to paint a similar picture to the one you presented, maybe because Dostoevsky himself were too ashamed of his past to be properly forthright, combined with our desire to think of him as completely innocent. His radicalization was also quite gradual, such that a narrow focus on his even earlier views of the more Christian-socialistic kind would discredit him as a revolutionary. And, this earlier stage of his descent is also much more easily documented, it seems.

There was a very strange feature in this case, strange because of its extremely rare occurrence. This man had once been brought to the scaffold in company with several others, and had had the sentence of death by shooting passed upon him for some political crime. Twenty minutes later he had been reprieved and some other punishment substituted; but the interval between the two sentences, twenty minutes, or at least a quarter of an hour, had been passed in the certainty that within a few minutes he must die. I was very anxious to hear him speak of his impressions during that dreadful time, and I several times inquired of him as to what he thought and felt. He remembered everything with the most accurate and extraordinary distinctness, and declared that he would never forget a single iota of the experience. ‘About twenty paces from the scaffold, where he had stood to hear the sentence, were three posts, fixed in the ground, to which to fasten the criminals (of whom there were several). The first three criminals were taken to the posts, dressed in long white tunics, with white caps drawn over their faces, so that they could not see the rifles pointed at them. Then a group of soldiers took their stand opposite to each post. My friend was the eighth on the list, and therefore he would have been among the third lot to go up. A priest went about among them with a cross: and there was about five minutes of time left for him to live. ‘He said that those five minutes seemed to him to be a most interminable period, an enormous wealth of time; he seemed to be living, in these minutes, so many lives that there was no need as yet to think of that last moment, so that he made several arrangements, dividing up the time into portions-one for saying farewell to his companions, two minutes for that; then a couple more for thinking over his own life and career and all about himself; and another minute for a last look around. He remembered having divided his time like this quite well. While saying good- bye to his friends he recollected asking one of them some very usual everyday question, and being much interested in the answer. Then having bade farewell, he embarked upon those two minutes which he had allotted to looking into himself; he knew beforehand what he was going to think about. He wished to put it to himself as quickly and clearly as possible, that here was he, a living, thinking man, and that in three minutes he would be nobody; or if somebody or something, then what and where? He thought he would decide this question once for all in these last three minutes. A little way off there stood a church, and its gilded spire glittered in the sun. He remembered staring stubbornly at this spire, and at the rays of light sparkling from it. He could not tear his eyes from these rays of light; he got the idea that these rays were his new nature, and that in three minutes he would become one of them, amalgamated somehow with them. ‘The repugnance to what must ensue almost immediately, and the uncertainty, were dreadful, he said; but worst of all was the idea, ‘What should I do if I were not to die now? What if I were to return to life again? What an eternity of days, and all mine! How I should grudge and count up every minute of it, so as to waste not a single instant!’ He said that this thought weighed so upon him and became such a terrible burden upon his brain that he could not bear it, and wished they would shoot him quickly and have done with it.’⁰

I wish you spoke a little bit more about the character development of Ivan... like most commentators you look at the early Ivan but not his development.... I think that like Raskolikov, Ivan's story is also about the gap between 'theory and life', the overman theory of Raskolnikov and the 'everything is permissible' of Ivan, when they are actually lived out are exposed to be humanly flawed ideals, Dostoyevski offers and existential response to the atheistic theories, in both cases the psychological impossibility of living the theory and the suicidal emptiness that inevitably will accompany it.

Since Chekhov's mostly a short story writer, you can probably get through a number of his stories in one sitting and many of them are fantastic! Will you be reading in Polish or English? If you're to read them in English, I would recommend finding a collection with a better translator rather than focus on which specific stories you'll read. The Pevear/Volokhonsky translations seem to be a popular version and a safe bet balancing being “true to the form” while "smoothing out" the prose in English.

So suffering is a necessary component of any good persons existence; this is further endorsed by the Buddha, and indeed, in all major religions or effective spiritual paths. There are those who cringe at the mention of religion or the spiritual, but that will be found to be because they have not yet had experiences, or possess the abilities to perceive, that which is ethereal in nature. What happens to the psyches of those who have had encounters with aliens or UFO's?

Thanks for sharing those videos, it definitely gets me thinking! I do agree that JP picks the parts of postmodernism to dissect, misrepresenting the movement somewhat, but at the same time the concept of "postmodernism" also provides such a broad canvas that anything can be said about it really - good and bad. I'm surprised more thinkers don't use the term as a free-pass to talk about... anything really, haha.

'Traditionalist' doesn't mean _traditional_ - more precisely, it can't, because traditionalism is the result of struggling with modernity to the point of gaing insight into the function and deeper meaning of tradition, a position unattainable by simply being immersed in traditional custom. Without the rock, the crashing wave of the soul cannot spray up as spirit. (after Hölderlin)

Today, we are able to eliminate suffering by destroying everything alive on Earth. Let's put it to a democratic choice?

Man.... This video is hard to watch, I mean understanding all it's hard but not being a English speaker make this 10x more difficult, all the meaning of the video make me wander and I can't concentrate 100%, the video being 20 min long doesn't help, one time the talk is about Dotoesviky or wathever is his name, and other time is about a film of doublegangers, like bro...

Yet science still can not explain the world we live in. Instead we ponder on alien life that for some reason is only ever witnessed by the masses on TV or create laws that sit in judgment over the highest law which is the moral one. Only religion can explain the world we live in regardless what history may teach us about it, as truth can not be measured through history.

Clearly he has a jp complex.
