A fool is always pleased with what he says, and, besides, he always says more than he needs to.

I spent the whole afternoon writing an essay on dostoevsky's a raw youth while listening to joni mitchell. I'm going insane.

Trishatov Compilation pt. 1

Dostoyevsky’s A Raw Youth

I cried with joy when I found Trishatov the first time, he’s just like me fr (always writing an adaptation of Faust inside his head)

#dostoyevsky #a raw youth #the adolescent #trishatov #obscure literary corner hours #the 'what for?' kills me #so does arkady repeatedly defending him and calling him pretty #I see you! #I agree #and him asking so politely to visit arkady #only to refuse to come in when he does #b/c he thinks he's 'evil' #though arkady asks him to several times! #makes me insane

three book quotes i cherish

"forgive me, for all the things i did but mostly for the ones that i did not." the secret history, donna tartt.

"we can understand each other; but each person is able to interpret himself to himself alone." demian, herman hesse.

"it is incredible how much intsability i exhibit in such situations. a grain of sand or a little hair are enough to destroy every part of me that is good and replace it with evil." the adolescent, f. dostoyevski.

The Problem of “Our Own Understanding”

Rukbat 1:

“A fool is always pleased with what he says, and, besides, he always says more than he needs to.”

- Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Adolescent

Reductionism Fallacy

[re-duhk-shuh-niz-uhm fah-luh-see]

NOUN

Definition: (In this context)

The logical error of oversimplifying the complex nature of communication dynamics, reducing the richness and multifaceted aspects of human interaction and speech to a rigid judgment on the quantity and necessity of expression.

This unfortunate quote (a rather limited reflection on self-awareness because of what negatively overshadows it) doesn’t account for the intricate depth and multifaceted nature of human interaction and expression. The richness of communication, individual perspectives, and the depth of concepts often defies a simple measurement or limitation. Recognizing the vast space for individual interpretation and the complex nature of conveying meaningful ideas is crucial in any substantial conversation or discourse. This quote overlooks the profound nuances inherent in communication and the depth it can provide to our understanding.

Reason for its inclusion under the philosophical area: “Problem of Our Own Understanding”

The essence of the quote itself revolves around the subjective nature of our understanding. It delves into how our personal comprehension and perception influence our interpretation of the world, communication, and the behavior of others. It highlights the subjective lens through which we often assess what others say, emphasizing the impact of our own understanding on how we interpret and judge speech.

"…he's a gloomy and suspicious man, and, although deep down he may be very kind, he tends to see evil in just about everything--in that, however, he's very much like me. He greatly appreciates chivalry and generosity, but I believe that to him it's only a principle, an abstract ideal. I also know that he is capable of feeling remorse: he goes around constantly reproaching himself for something, regretting what he's done…But he never reforms--again, I'm probably just the same in that respect. He's stuffed with thousands of preconceptions and extraordinary notions, but there's not one original idea in his head. He looks for an opportunity to do something noble and heroic, but in the meantime he acts with petty nastiness…"

“If the person laughs well, they are a good person.”

— Fyodor Dostoyevsky

#the adolescent #dostoevsky #i love how he starts with describing someone #then starts philosophical reflection and teachs readers how to tell a good person from a bad one

Silence is always beautiful, and a silent person is always more beautiful than one who talks.
