    Thanks for the video. This passage is among the most terrifyingly powerful literature I know.

      100% Agree. Just read through it yesterday for the first time, it is an unbelievably powerful chapter.

    Thank you for the wonderful analysis again. This passage needs a video...looking forward to watching more TBK videos from you after I read the passages!

    Currently reading TBK for the second time, so this video comes with great timing, specially since this particular passage felt so striking for its analysis of human savagery. Your interpretation is clear and stimulating as always. Wonder which passage will you tackle next, Father Zossima's discourse, Ivan's Grand Inquisitor, Dimitri's child dream, Ivan's devil conversation? Keep up your great work.

      It's stuff from bok 5, ch. 4-5, for my online Existentialism class

    I was reading the Idiot during the summer, and it's difficult not to be depressed by the depictions of excruciating treatment of youngsters (also impoverished folks). It reminds me that German film The White Ribbon. However, thank you for the great lettuce! Just curious, are you going to do videos on the Idiot or Crime and Punishment?

      Much further down the line, unless someone commissions me to do them earlier.
      Before I'd do them, though, I'd do The Possessed

      Definitely do The Possessed later down the line! It is my personal favorite Dostoyevsky.

    It's human procreation that perpetuates human suffering. It's human nature that doesn't give a sh!t.
    Billions of human beings forcibly brought into this world (over the course of millennia) to live lives that were not worth living.
    Thanks mom, thanks dad.
    Thanks God.

      From your particular anti-natalist perspective, what makes suffering cruel or unjust if there is no inherent worth to human life?

    • @misternought5028
      @misternought5028 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I didn't assert that there's no inherent worth to human life did I.

      Yeah. . . definitely not Ivan's perspective, nor that of Dosteovsky
