Dostoevsky's The Idiot: A Dark Warning for the World We Live In!

I notice some of these things happening in the American society as far back as the early 90s: hypocrisy was a requirement, to cheat, to lie was good and normalize and that society itself not only seems to expect that you are a lier but actually promoted it. For those who are too good and honest society seems to have set some traps from where you could not escape but through some sort of cheating.

Writing during the height of the 60s, Longshoreman-Philosopher Eric Hoffer wrote: "We are living in a time when the future is in our midst devouring the present before our very eyes." Radical change and its consequences have become institutionalized.

Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Idiot acts as a profoundly dark warning for the modern world by depicting a "positively good man," Prince Myshkin, being destroyed by a society obsessed with money, vanity, and reputation. Written in 1868–1869, the novel mirrors contemporary crises of superficiality, moral nihilism, and the inability to accept genuine, radical empathy in a competitive, materialistic culture.

I just discovered this 2 days ago and have listened to it......every single day. Ex left and tried to move away with my sons, i fought to keep them and won custody, took me back to court next year, i won again, she filed for an appeal ....and now i have to go back. I saved 16k...through discipline and hard work.....both my sons stole 4k in total from me. I kicked them off the basketball team until they worked it off to pay me back. She defended thier actions saying " don t take basketball away from them"..... judge agreed with how i punished them. No remorse from either of them stealing that money. I had them both in my custody and ex claims them both on her taxes and uses the money to get an attorney. Im dead broke and cannot afford an attorney so I have to go pro se and head to court to defend ( reluctantly) my boys. She s taking me to court to have child support reduced. This video had popped on my feed because the rage is starting to settle in.... mitchkin isnt the issue......its the people around him that are lazy stupid and corrupt. I think many good men on here can relate.......doing everything right and doing the right thing and brutally punished for it. Unlike mitchkin, when ppl exploit your vulnerability using the system, I have no choice but to fight back. Its hard to be a " human being".... mitchkin was a human being in the real sense because he functioned as a mirror. I have to rely on self preservation because if not these people will destroy you. How the hell does that term " love" even enter this equation???

The title if this book could be said to be a certain type of requisite to self deprecating humor, or, an introduction to meta cognition, on a much higher plane or level, the man referring to himself in that way does not neccessarily think of himself that way but refuses to accept the dismissal of truth so readily as to assert his as the only truth available....

He teaches that the honesty we as children had to begin with actually turns out to be both naive and immature, he extends the metaphor to include criminality as a symptom of human honesty, and while were out here being human, we might as well act like were interested😮

Since the World Has Now Changed, The Masses Have Woken Up to All the Evil that Was Kept Hidden From Them, By the Greedy Zionatzi, They&#39;re Appreciating Each Other and Earth, Humanitarian Principles Are Being Praised and Accepted, By All the People of the World, They&#39;re Recognizing Truth and Justice and The Oneness of Humanity, That What Is Good For One is Good For All and if One&#39;s Rights are Threatened Then Everyone&#39;s Rights Are Threatened. Because of This the Propaganda Against Truthful, Honest, Selfless People isn&#39;t Working Anymore. People Are All Loving the Goodness of Good People, Whether in Politics , Business or Any Line of Work and Existence. So the Negative Outlook On Good People That Was Expressed By Philosophers and Thinker&#39;s,<br>Of the Past , Applies No More. Humanity Doesn&#39;t Need to Live in the Depressing Shadow of the Old Philosopher&#39;s Concepts. A New Wholesome World of Compassion, Truthfulness, Integrity, and Selflessness is Coming Into Existence, Against the Desire of the Old Greedy Zionatzi System. People Around the World Admire Leaders and People That Show Love ,Compassion and Selfless Honesty. The Masses Praise Every Person That Exhibit&#39;s and Proves Their Honesty and Compassion For All. The World Hate&#39;s the Zionatzi Greedy Soulless Mentality and Materialism. Stop Using the Dark Ages to Fool People into Falling For Your Lies, No One&#39;s Buying Those Lies Anymore.
