    _
    In this video, I talk about Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment, truth, lies / self-deception, trust, walking your own path, learning, and the improvement of knowledge.
    To walk your own path is to realize that you are always acting on your own knowledge. Even when you’re getting directions from someone else, you choose to take their advice based on your own understanding of the world. And when you realize that all of your actions always come back to your own knowledge in some form, and you decide to take responsibility for that, and you decide not to blame anyone else for your actions, then you’re walking your own path.
    But to go wrong in your own way means that you realize that, at some point, you will come across an anomaly. And this anomaly will falsify or contradict your knowledge. And if you admit to being wrong, if you don’t ignore the anomaly, if you face your errors head on, then as Dostoevsky said, your errors can move you closer to the truth.

      To start thinking for oneself, one needs to first aquire knowledge to base their decisions on. Reading books by people smarter than you or surrounding yourself with those people is very important. It is impossible to not be influenced. You need to learn how to judge and sort the influences you encounter.

    • @Aboriginal_Alien
      @Aboriginal_Alien 2 роки тому +7

      @@minimushrom and can we define this sorting and judging you describe? In the end dose this sorting and judging render you uninfluenced by others so you can think for yourself? Is that even possible? All of this requires a lot more examination to truly understand what it means to think for oneself. I think of it as clarity as the highest form of resolution. When the background is completely silent the sound is the crispiest and when the stage is motionless the dancers movements are most clear. I do believe in originality but paradoxically is requires submission to the God, to the eternal now. It is an act of submission rather than doing because it is our own masks, our own egos or ideas about ourselves that colors the background of our choices and direct our foreground decisions. Thinking for ourselves happens of it’s self so, but first we have to get out of our own way.

    This follows the same reasoning as to why I stopped telling anyone what to do or what I would do. Even if they ask me directly. I found so much more peace in my mind when I stopped judging others for not doing the "right thing" or "not doing it the way I would do it".
    Now whenever I have conversations about a tough situation someone is having and someone is deciding between A or B, we just talk about both options. Usually they will do what they were already leaning towards anyway and they will "make their decision based off their own knowledge"

The more i try to understand myself the more i understand people are different and need to walk it's path whether they wrong or not and it's their right to upgrade the knowledge..

    • @voidspirit111
      @voidspirit111 2 роки тому +1

      I think it depends on the case and just giving up on trying to make things better or helping ppl is worse than putting up with having your advice ignored.
      Just accepting that everyone has it's own path and that you should leave them alone can cause issues for you at some point.
      An example would be with politicians.. by your reasoning we should just let them do whatever, no accountability from the public.
      Or not try to correct and make ppl more informed about certain issues and as a rrsult their desinformation and ignorance leads to systemic problrms that also affect you.
      On the other hand, if you have a friend that just wants to go and blow al hiis money on sweets and other stuff and not care about the future then , yes you can let him.ho his own path
      My point is to accept that ppl are going their own way but not stop trying to make things better.
      Note:
      If you don't care how things will be later and take things as they are and, as long as you don't have regrets or get in a situation where there is no escape ( had you tried to communicate more or had you convinced some ppl that a trend is bad, maybe things would not have ended up like that) then i guess it worka out for you.

      One way of thinking that Dostoyevsky phrase would be that one does not "learn" from the solutions of others but with our own effort, that the tree only bears fruit after it grows, that we have to discover things for ourselves, that we will never know which is the "correct answer" because we always avoid the problem looking for the solutions of others, that only in security and certainty do we lose the effort that life entails, growing up.
      All understanding is discovery, without understanding the solutions are not ours but fleeting.

    Another aspect about going your own way, even if it's wrong, is about learning. Going the wrong way or failing, gives one the opportunity to learn from one's mistakes. We learn to learn. Going the right way when it's someone else's way, robs us of the opportunity of experimenting and finding out why the right way is right or vice-versa.

    He’s talking about it in a limited area. Not in terms of directions to grocery stores or jumping off cliffs. But in terms of self identity and realisation. It’s also tied in with the concept of right and wrong as not being black and white.
    Simply because going one’s own way implies self realisation, accountability and responsibility to oneself, and being true to one self. He’s saying that in the journey of being true to oneself it’s okay to make mistakes -in fact he would love you even more for it. It’s preferable to take up a job in a company that espouses the values you uphold, even if it pays lesser (and hence looks like a big wrong from the eyes of another person who prefers a higher pay package). The company might go bust, and you might be broke afterwards (and this might look like a mistake to most people around you) but it was still better to go down this path of self actualisation.
    The other path of going right in someone else’s advice - in most instances, leads to loss of self, identity, and regret about whether one would’ve been truly happier if one has done what they really wanted to do. Eg., conforming to certain acts like homophobia because society is primarily homophobic and it would make your life easier if you just went along with it. Or marrying a person who looks right on paper. Or taking a job that pays more but makes your conscience burn. Always wondering what things would’ve been like if only -
    What the OP could have explained to viewers through the Socratic dialogue would’ve been why it’s important to know oneself, and achieve self actualisation.

    To walk one's own path in life , one has to be willing to accept the changes happening within themselves and their environment, whether they may be positive or negative, it's is because of such experiences , one learns from them and grows and learns to trust his judgement and they know even if they fail they would have learnt something, this way of thinking has helped me walk my own path , I don't completely trust myself and I'm scared but even if I fail I have the lessons with me always.

    Hello. I want to give you a small philosophical tip. You clearly like the socratic dialogue as a learning tool. But actually it is not that effective. Socrates focused too much on dialects and argumentation which makes the learning experience clumsy and forgettable. Words should as the Roman knew only be used as little as possible to enhance learning (understanding and memory). Thus I hope for future videos that you will consider downregulating the dialogue and focus more on pictures and stories supplemented by few but exact quotes/phrases. Because I truly admire some of your content. Taking the 3 nietzcshean transformations as one of the most valuable examples. Best of luck. Anders

      Sorry I’m not sure I understand. I’m no philosopher but surely the dialectic and the Socratic dialogue are a brilliant way of making ideas come alive. We see ideas tested either to destruction or developed and refined. That’s why I love reading the Republic. You kind of go on a journey from darkness to light. This technique has influenced everything from psychoanalysis to parliamentary debate, to the legal system. I can’t think of a clearer way to convey ideas than to see them acted out by characters who clash, testing knowledge against experience. Dostoyevsky himself used this technique to make his ideas come alive in his characters. Can you expand further, I’m intrigued.

    • @anders_mark
      @anders_mark 2 роки тому +3

      @@cthoadmin7458 Dialectics, the matter of logical arguments often tends to be limited by logical structures. That is also why Socrates could convince almost anyone about everything in ancient Greek. Because he understood these structures better than anyone back than. In order to understand new subjects we need a more poetic approach that is not focusing on argumentation, but rather on metafors. Platon is boring if you ask me. He is a philosopher of the people. If you seek depth try Heraclitus.
      And please let me correct you. Dostojevskij used dialogue, but he does not use dialectic that often. It is rather a matter of different people expressing their views and how they see the world. Dostojevskij was not socratic in his writings or teaching at all. Rather he tends to ridicule the boundaries of consciousness and show us the confusion it tends to create for itself (Crime and Punishment)

      @@anders_mark I dont know. Its been a long time, but, I read all of Dostoyevski's big novels, and I think to some degree he is socratic. I mean, compared to so many others Think of Brothers K. Isnt the father quite philosophical and asking lots of questions early in about Hell, doesnt Ivan ask a lot of questions or at least persuing a questiong vein when soeaking with Alyosha re his legal theories, wasnt Zivigalilev(cannot remember the name) quite an impudent questioner when he first learns about God creating the day before he creates the sun? You are going to say that questioning is nit necessarily Socratic, but I think that is often what Socratic means today..

    Interesting video, although it seems as though it's impossible for someone to "go right in someone else's way" seeing as everyone is always acting from their own best knowledge. The only difference being whether or not we are aware of that, and whether or not we acknowledge mistakes as our own.

    This was strangely beautiful to me... We do always act on our own current understanding of the world, even if we are trusting someone else's judgement - it's always based to our own knowledge about the world, including people and whom we can trust. As one of those cheesy "coffee lucky quotes" said, "You can trust yourself only, and that is, not always." This idea is brilliant, but moreso because it's the truth. Thanks again for the great video. This Dostoevsky guy was very wise apparently ;)

    It's amaze me that even we try to not make mistakes or wrong we still make mistakes and i think there's a paradox here. There's no one (i think) want to make mistakes voluntarily and we always angry and go to judging state even we do make mistakes, i reach a conclusion mistakes is the only way we go to higher perspective, higher knowledge and growth mindset. Mistakes are common and I don't think mistakes are mistakes i mean mistakes is not a bad things, even i think mistakes is a good things. We just need patience and compassion to greater evolution of human beings.

    Why in the world would anyone want to be wrong? I know I can learn from my mistakes - but I also know I can learn without making a mistake.
    Mistakes can be made regardless of how we come to make them. Common sense says listen to your self first. Because we have been involved in our own experiences and have created an outlook of our life.
    I think we naturally think about what others think and consider their opinions and ideas - but sometimes you just need to think what is best for you.
    I have taken advice from others and found it to be helpful and beneficial and I have trusted myself and helped myself. I also have caused my self trouble and problems.
    The one dilemma for me is how to handle the thoughts and actions of people who want to hurt me and others. They don’t want me or others to be right. So I am existing the best I am allowed.
    It is difficult to live with people who don’t want freedom of thought.
    I really enjoy having access to this very enlightening format. Thank goodness (the gods) there still are minds open to exchange.
