My dad never really taught me things men should know. What are some life hacks that only a dad could teach? by Davidmoosein AskReddit

[–]PyosRoMaXXVI 0 points1 point ago

There are types of claps, much like different types of handshakes, and each type is appropriate in a different setting. An overly enthusiastic clap appears sarcastic, and sends the message you look down upon the person reading poetry.

Handshakes follow similar, perhaps arbitry guidelines. Then again, it's a type of body language, and just like any language, aren't the rules of language always a bit arbitrary?

Osip Mandelstam, “Your image, tormenting and elusive” (tr. David McDuff) by ashokin verse

[–]PyosRoMaXXVI 1 point2 points ago

It's quite interesting to read the analysis below the poem itself. I personally feel that the translation, although it captures the thoughts and ideas, fails to capture the beauty of the original. It's frustrating, that there is often a compromise when translating poetry, between preserving the form and preserving the message.

Aldous Huxley to George Orwell (1949) | "I feel that the nightmare of Nineteen Eighty-Four is destined to modulate into the nightmare of a world having more resemblance to that which I imagined in Brave New World." by dave723in culturalstudies

[–]PyosRoMaXXVI 2 points3 points ago

It seems to me that Nineteen Eighty-Four is a dystopic vision akin to that of what the Soviet Union once was, whereas A Brave New World is a more capitalist/Westernized version of the degradation of society. The Soviet Union having collapsed, it would appear that perhaps Huxley was indeed closer to the truth.

How do Eastern Europeans (especially Russians) view their communist past? by CheesewithWhinein AskReddit

My family is all from St. Petersburg Russia. We're Jewish though, so as you might guess, all my parents/grandparents feel towards the communist system is condemnation. Nobody liked the Jews.

The universe is self aware. by MarmaladeMattin philosophy

[–]PyosRoMaXXVI 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

the argument is based on the assumption, not so much that the universe contains humans, but in a more Buddhist-esque sense that the universe and humans are part of a single, unified whole.

Humans are self-aware, humans = universe, universe is self aware.

Is it ok to joke about serious topics like rape? by sumeriangodin philosophy

[–]PyosRoMaXXVI 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I feel that one might BECOME a comedian because his/her life is so fucked up, and not the other way around. The human psyche often isn't able to accept certain rhumbs head on, simple because if they tried it would break them. Humour is a defense mechanism; coping and deflection aren't necessarily so differerent from one another.
