WTF with your weird pronunciation.
Way better title than the first attempt.
I don't think your voice is really that bad actually for a Canadian, you get used to it.
Video could have been better though. I don't really think anyone's life can be used as some sort of anecdote for any broader truth, circumstances are complex, everyone is different.
@@egrytznr8893 Oh damn, he's a fellow Canadian? No wonder I can't understand him.
Is comfort or ease worse? Among pain, suffering, and discomfort which one makes you to become the greatest version of yourself?
19:02 when I used to live in Africa this was a very and I mean a very big problem
“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.” - F.Dostoyevsky
Yes!! (This is what I struggle with on a daily basis)
The real mystery in life, for some, isn’t in finding something to live for but finding out why it was all taken away and by whom.
Jesus said that life is more than just the things needed for survival. I used to wonder "is this all there is" and it was depressing thinking that it was. Thankfully through Jesus, God showed me that there is more and that this is not all there is.

In the words of Shawshank Redemption, "Get busy living or get busy dying."
I adore Dostoevsky. He's the only author I loved even more after reading his biography and personal notes. I've learned so much from him.
I wish there was a channel specifically centered around Dostoevsky.
Books🌝
You can check out the book "Lectures on Dostoevsky" by Joseph Frank
Jordan Peterson lol
You should make one bro

Came across his house in Semey by chance. An absolute privilege to see the room where he wrote.
What a lucky person you're.
The bit about recognizing the richness of a soul and it's capacity for understanding it's own suffering and the suffering of others was movingly beautiful.
Thank you for everything you do, your videos helped me turn my life around. May your holidays be filled with joy and laughter.
😊
I deeply dislike how pain averse people are today. Pain has been the single greatest mentor in my life and surviving it has helped me see the joy in life, specially with physical pain.
Physical pain averse, yeah true, but mental health is off the charts bad. I reckon most of those prisoners he was in the camp with had better mental health than many in todays world. Obviously the complete opposite when it comes to physical pain.
It pains you
Perhaps it’s harder trying to avoid pain and struggle than it is to just embrace them and walk straight through.
Pain taught me a lot, and it changed me for the better. There are different kinds of pain, humiliation is one of them. To me it has been it has been an eye opener, THE way for our Lord to show and teach us something. Had I not experienced that, I would have never changed. It took me a great amount of pain for me to finally understand.
one of the most surpring and inspiring quotes from Dostoevsky to me is "in sorrow seek happiness."
I heard a lyric from the song the High Road by Broken Bells recently with a similar sentiment: 'Let loss be your guide'
I am reminded of my time serving in the US Marines. The futility of existence in that place and time - like a prisoner surrounded by dullards, unquestionably loyal subordinates and we few - the ones who could see and understand the desperation of our situation. The novel Catch-22 does this as well but with humor. What a ridiculous experience.
Same story here, but you put it better than I could have!
Man I was literally just thinking this, and how the corruption through power affects NCO's Staff NCO's and officers alike. How that makes the culture of the organization so toxic and unbearable. What a terrible existence and terribly run organization. The day I got out of the Marine corps was literally not figuratively the best and happiest day of my life. Surrounded by people that had no idea how to lead and what a good leader was and a bunch of mindless imbeciles with no backbone to challenge the ridiculousness of it all. I will await your response, you seem like good company.
@anthonyharvey8571 You said it perfectly. Lots of imbeciles puffing their chests because that's the culture. Leadership, in their mind, is barking orders - not respecting or earning respect. Just rank. I remember them making after-hours shop functions mandatory because 1/3 of the younger staff didn't want to be around the rest of the Cpls, Sgts and Ssgts. So, we'd arrive together, hang out together amongst ourselves for an hour or so then leave together in two cars. I remember getting jumped by the NCOs in my shop after getting my Cpl promotion (blood stripes) and absolutely tossing them around. Absolute jelly belly Sgts and Cpls getting trounced by a 19 yo and they couldn't report because they started it. DD-214 day was great. Made some incredible friends along the way but overall it was just a toxic experience. The VA pays me now so that feels like justice and deserved compensation for my misery.
beautifully written
Well stated; you almost perfectly described my experience on active duty as well.
Somehow, hope can be so easily overlooked by man as not being important. Not realizing it is the thing in the background that has been keeping them alive the whole time until they lose it. This too I have intimately learned many times over.
Did you come up with that masterpiece?

This is brilliant. Thank you.
The academy of ideas and especially the presentation of this tribute to Dostoevsky was great.
“There is only one thing that I dread: not to be worthy of my sufferings"
-Dostoevsky
"Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth."
- Fyodor Dostoevsky
As always a great video, thanks
Thank you for such a detailed videos on Dostoevsky.
Couldn't have been made better. ❤❤
1:26 Dostoyevsky literally dunked on all of his doubters lmao, greatest run of all time.
Thank you so much. I love your channel and content and the work you do is so valuable.
yor welcime kiddo
Deep psychological and emotional understanding of human conditions👌
17:35 he fainted when being introduced to a beautiful woman
Truly amazing video. Now I must read all of his works
"Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies” il from the 1994 movie The Shawshank Redemption. Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) writes this line in a letter to his friend, Otis “Red” Redding (Morgan Freeman.
Thank you so much for your work. I am always looking forward to the next video ❤
In enduring a Sisyphean ordeal of the Gulag, Dostoevsky replace the anxiety of imagined suffering with genuine suffering and insights into the depths of human endurance.
*Katorga is what they were called in tsarist Russia, Gulags were in the Soviet era.
No Gulags at that time.
Right on time. I'm reading Brother Karamazov.
I happily read virtually all of his works when I was homeless
What a great man!!! Wow!
Thank you for this video, my friend.

My favorite author! Don't matter what they say it this clip, you should read his work. You won't regret it!
I'm reading Crime and Punishment right now!
Thank you for this.
I can relate to not having solitude not in the same way though been in bootcamp now for a while out for holiday, you literally are never alone and are always being watched either by other trainies or drill sergeants. Even taking a shower the next person is watching your back waiting for his turn.
Very inspiring philosophy. Thanks.
Free minds for a free society is brilliant , genius , good and very good for all
This has inspired me to revisit the movie Cool Hand Luke. It has been years since I’ve watched it. I can picture how the guards worked so hard to break Luke. They used the concept of meaningless work
Amazing, thank you 👏
Amazing.
Bravo Bravo True Wisdom that is useful to help escalate human beings to greater and more purposeful lives
Superbly excellent work my good brother
I have only known him for his last name. Having learned his first name "Fyodor" I thought of "Fyodor" of the anime series "Bungo Stray Dogs". I thought there was no connection. But having also learned of his book " Crime and Punishment", I relalized that there is. I think he really is famous.
Awesome video, thank you!
He was never truly alone, by design. Having an oppressor fuels hope n other motivations. At such a young age, the despair of life is an idea not reality. Though his concepts are true, they are not anything new. Pain and solitary suffering ( pass ) forge meaning and purpose ( map ) to guide n streer clear of.
Really enjoyed this
15:01 This is described in the Kurt Vonnegut novel "Slaughterhouse 5" in the scene after the fire bombing of Dresden.
Have you read Armageddon in Retrospect? It's a collection posthumously but dang prescient now.
Always a good day when a new video drops from The Academy of Ideas. Thank you!
Thank you for the video,,, I will start with Crime and Punishment,, then decide which to read next.
Thank you AOI, and Fyodor!
Merry Christmas to you!
Naklon za Dostojevskog... Zatvor svi smo u zatvoru tijela...Duša lupa po zidovima, zatvora... On je vjerojatno za života oslobodio dosta svoje duše... Dok ostali lupaju, neki nisu sposobni čak ni lupiniti, vrč čambaju itd...
Bravo.
Great stuff!
Ive been watching cheenobyl and its soo gripping, some real strong characters and lots of small acts of defiance
Superb!
I just read Notes of the Underground. What a genius of a neurotic mind
A fine and sensitive mind.
A beautiful soul.
Thank you
In my opinion, Notes from the Underground is Dostoevsky’s best work. I’ve never read anything that truly encapsulates the issues surrounding modernity and post-modernity quite like that book.
These books sound awesome but I’ve tried and man they are really difficult.
I tried “The Idiot” and soon realized why I did but that’s about it
I love your voice😊
I share in the nervous breakdowns of dostoevsky and Nietzsche And also their resilience and human spirit..
Hallowed be Thy name by Iron Maiden seems the perfect song to go with this presentation
Thank you very much 🙏🏻💖
Why don't people realize all his books are dark comedies. I discussed this with Professor Katz, one of the premier translators of his work and the best in my opinion. He totally agreed and was happy that I knew. Also, he gave me the introduction to his new translation to read. Katz's translations really give the comedy of most of his (Dostoyevsky's) books easy access. He's found in most Barnes and Nobles, easy to order, well worth it. You can't tell me crime and punishment, the first chapter, him tiptoeing past the landlord because he doesn't have the rent and what happens isn't hilarious.
I've learn to love my solitude, dogs are very good friends
I love this channel

We're always in some kind of prison.
Lol
@@osar2870we live on a prison planet.
Great video. Very interesting man. I don't see our time birthing a mind that comes even close to his. Maybe due to comfort...
Profound stuff 👍
It's not the same for every man, some men learn how to adapt to difficult circumstances, others do not.
I regard prison as the ultimate waste of time. A man can develop one's talents and abilities without it.
A man should learn to appreciate his solitude.
Love Dostoyevsky and all his books. But my favorite is The Brothers Karamazov
Alan Watt shares his wisdom in a provocative and creative way; yet, what he communicates, even though insightful, will not change your ego to an enlightened state of being. The belief in free will and free choices are an illusion. Gurdjieff explains that man is asleep, and how can anyone acquire knowledge when you are asleep? Studying Gurdjieff’s work and Spinoza’s philosophy these past 45 + years have awakened me, since then, I have created a method of awakening one’s higher thinking intelligence, then true permanent enlightenment, and happiness are possible.
Let's go!
18:59 love that phrase
He not one of the greatest but the Greatest!
great video
I wander why he used to be my favourite writer during University years? Maybe this video answers that question.
Good video ....
I remember when this episode first aired
10:30 Describes exactly what was covered in the book Ordinary Men
Power should always be dissipated as much as possible.
and then sum more ojo
Very interesting
Literally just finished crime and punishment
It is a good book. If I may, one thing I've learned about Dostoevsky's works, is they have to be read multiple times. There is so much in them most miss some gems the first time around.
I read it not long ago. Despite being well aware of its praise, I was still absolutely blown away by it. Certainly one of the few books that touched me really deeply.
I feel like I missed a bunch of the story tbh. It’s just so dense
@@matthewhoutteman4428 I think that is normal. I would also add, the setting, 19th century Russia, has some nuances that we modern readers may not appreciate or even miss.
I have two chapters left!
Yes, he was indeed a genius -- who cared so much for animals that he did not consume them, bless his heart... He said this: 'Love animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Do not trouble their joy, don't harrass them, don't deprive them of their happiness, don't work against God's intent. Man, do not pride yourself on superiority to animals; they are without sin, and you, with your greatness, defile the earth by your appearance on it, and leave the traces of your foulness after you...'
I can't watch the video because the audio track selector is broken and won't play English. I'm not sure if that's on your end or because of RUclips.
🏆
Excellent video 😊👌
Totally agree, I feel this is why many working class have become disillusioned with life in Britain. the bastards have taken the meaning from life when they took our very meaningful work away and replaced it with bullshit jobs
Once you realise this then you can find meaning again for yourself
Good luck and enjoy living your life each and all👍😉
My take is the British people turned their back on their Christian faith and accounts for a lot of what we see today in Britain
27, 9 3’s in terms of years. 3 minutes. 3~~~ three. Why am I fascinated by the number 3? The twenty seven club that claimed so many of the musicians I love. Three times nine. And nine is 3 threes. Three, III, 3, and don’t know why, but three is a number that arrests me. Merry Christmas 🕊
Nice
This experience works for some, the adversity, myself included. I've faced aone pretty out there adverse situations all my life. I will say though ive met people fron gold homes, good famielies ,who have faced hardly and adversity,and they're not only as in depth intelligent but great people. And nonin not talking about the ones who dont luve in reality with rose colored glasses lol i think some struggles are necessary, hut to the extremes we've created as humans i dont believe is necessary.
Make a separate video on his literary
