Culture of each society is strongly related to the psychology of its individuals. It’s an emergent entity from the very core of individuals!

Dostoevsky needs patience!
But it is getting interesting

Nothing special so far

Bringing theory into practice…

So far the old buffoon, the chapters on Laceration, and Ivan’s discussions with Alyosha (Rebellion and The Grand Inquisitor) have been my favorite chapters. This book requires patience and focus. The story is the last thing one should care about.

Internal meaning!

I have been planing to read this for so long. Finally got it from Dussmann das KulturKaufhaus.

“We have seen a curious phenomenon associated with rebel groups that break off of the Final Empire and attempt to seek autonomy, he thought, recalling a passage from Ytves’s book Studies in Revolution. In almost all cases, the Lord Ruler didn’t need to send his armies to reconquer the rebels. By the time his agents arrived, the groups had overthrown themselves.”

Destroying is harder than maintaining the status quo, but it's definitely easier than creating; much easier. These two should come together since without creating, destruction is nothing but a state of chaos, which will eventually return to the starting point. It's an aimless waste of energy! Therefore, to change, one must know how to create.!

Lord Ruler can be anything oppressing your thoughts, a government, dictator, parents, friends or even an ideaa.
I love every analogy in this book

May Russian literature save me during finals!!

The greatest novel ever written

their musical compositions are more or less complete, and every motif,
every object, every word means something different to each of them.
If I were to make a record of all Sabina and Franz's conversations, I could compile a long lexicon of their misunderstandings. Let us be content, instead, with a short
dictionary….

“dreaming as we experience it is the accidental by-product of two separate evolution- ary developments: the emergence of REM sleep and the develop- ment of consciousness in humans, which created the urge to make narratives out of any available data the brain receives. Whenever the story-spinning portions of the brain were activated, as they regularly were in REM, they couldn't help but churn out a dream.”

Shifting from politics back to my favourite school of philosophy (analytics) even tho Rotry hasn’t confined himself to any specific schools…
The bad boy of American philosophers

This book has the ability to elongate time and intensify emotions profoundly.

“Weakness is correlated with impulsive behavior, resentment, and hatred and the true nature of the weak is to be victim and unproductive”

Something has happened to me, I can’t doubt it any more. It came as an illness does, not like an ordinary certainty, not like anything evident. It came cunningly, little by little; I felt a little strange, a little put out, that’s all. Once established it never moved, it stayed quiet, and I was able to persuade myself that nothing was the matter with me, that it was a false alarm. And now, it’s blossoming.

The thing is that I rarely think; a crowd of small metamorphoses accumulate in me without my noticing it, and then, one fine day, a veritable revolution takes place. This is what has given my life such a jerky, incoherent aspect

Books give me a unique feeling of solitude and security that no human has ever been able to offer me.

I shall stop sticking my nose to every single subject but that’s the only way that I can feed the curious wolf that’s living inside my head!!!!!

We don’t have a capitalistic system we have an extractive one.
