It's the use of weapons. 528 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,638 Totally, here we go again with this mistake. 529 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,718 Probably one, that both supporters and 530 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,558 opponents of firearms make every time. 531 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,678 They start envisioning some future scenario 532 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,358 and making own assumptions about 533 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,278 how one person will behave. 534 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,958 Oh I'll grabb the pistol in half 535 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,358 a second just like Jerry Miculek. 536 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,758 And then someone else says... but what if 537 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,678 ninja puts a tanto to your throat. 538 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,480 You won't have time to grab the pistol. 539 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,718 When discussions reach that level, 540 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,158 it makes me feel sick. 541 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,438 Please, never engage in such discussions, 542 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,480 but the round was enjoyable, of course. 543 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,960 I can put it briefly, I'd like more texture. 544 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,440 Who has a question for the team "Society Past"? 545 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,158 Here's the thing. You constantly draw a very big 546 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,678 contrast between two categories of people: 547 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,838 between law abiding citizens and criminals. 548 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,478 At what point can I stop being 549 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,278 a law abiding citizen and become a criminal? 550 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,158 After all, when I get a gun I can quite easily 551 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,078 cross the line of the law instead of remaining 552 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,038 in the category of people who only need 553 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,558 protection. Just because I don't have a criminal 554 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,000 past, doesn't mean I won't create one for myself. 555 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,198 So the question is, you're talking about legalization, 556 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,078 something like that. But there are unsuccessful 557 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,517 cases too. Take the most talked about, yes, 558 00:29:41,559 --> 00:29:43,598 the United States case. Why do you think 559 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,198 that legalization won't lead to something 560 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:46,958 like what is happening 561 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,478 in the USA right now? 562 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:49,958 The US case. 563 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,598 Why do we believe it is not relevant to us? 564 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,598 Simply, because the model of firearms legislation 565 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,998 in America is very very different from the model 566 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,158 we propose. In most states a permit is not 567 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,438 even required. No permission is needed 568 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,558 to purchase a firearm. In most states 569 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,078 there are no so-called background checks, 570 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,958 no check of your criminal history. Basically, 571 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,278 anyone with a national ID card can purchase 572 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,758 this weapon. Currently, in the US, there are 573 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,358 over 120 guns per 100 people. This is unmatched 574 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,198 anywhere in the world, even in Yemen, which 575 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,958 comes in second and was mentioned. 576 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,478 Seems as mentioned by our opponents 577 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:30,800 with 50-something firearms. 578 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,800 I didn't want to be here, but I was. 579 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,120 I wanted spaciousness, 580 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,760 but I didn't want to end up here, 581 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,680 where melancholy devoured me. 582 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,040 Ghosts buried alive 583 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,838 read Gumilyov's poems to me. 584 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,558 The songs they sang were in a language 585 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,000 unknown to me, but I knew it. 586 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,120 What are they singing about? 587 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:28,800 About death, of course. 588 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000 Their voices pour like milk. 589 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,800 They are absorbed by the frozen ground. 590 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,200 And from there, 591 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,078 from beneath the ice of the Neva, 592 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,478 lonely drowned women called out to me. 593 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,640 Their hair spread out like frozen mud. 594 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,160 They knew the words of this song. 595 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,560 They called me too. 596 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,840 It can't be happening you will say. 597 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,280 And be right.

I think here, it might be blunt, 625 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,278 but there's no issue here. I see no problem. 626 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,758 You are shamed by people who are essentially 627 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,518 shameless. And you, being an educated 628 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,198 and enlightened person have the ability 629 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,518 to conclude about certain individuals, 630 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,718 the so-called "TV heads', that they are" 631 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,238 shameless people. The point is that in culture... 632 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,358 there are not, not just "authorities", 633 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,598 but charismatic personalities who... 634 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,398 but somehow, preserve shame as a virtue, 635 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,198 a necessary character trait. One can recall 636 00:34:15,240 --> 00:34:18,158 Dostoevskiy Prince Myshkin, for instance. 637 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,678 It's a character trait that is preserved in a positive, 638 00:34:21,720 --> 00:34:24,678 beautiful person. The question is only 639 00:34:24,720 --> 00:34:27,320 to distinguish whether a shameless person 640 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,120 is attributing shame to you, or whether as they say 641 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,000 "Dostoevskiy takes the blame for that shame". 642 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,040 You can't impute shame to anyone. 643 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,118 You can feel shame, 644 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,000 but you can't impute shame. 645 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,838 Hello, Alla. Could you, please tell me how 646 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,040 long the philosophical cafe has been around? 647 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,678 It has a fascinating history. 648 00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:52,078 Initially it was a cyberfeminist club from 1994, 649 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,278 because we initiated the cyberfeminism 650 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,278 movement, which quickly became international 651 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,678 and concluded in 1997 with the 652 00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:02,680 "Cyberfeminist International". 653 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,198 Later, we transformed it into a gallery 654 00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:10,558 of experimental sound. Well, and then 655 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,958 a philosophical cafe was established there 656 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,598 since 2002. 657 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,758 Now it is evolving into a museum of sound. 658 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:25,398 At that time, I had small children, and I refrained 659 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,598 from undertaking significant projects. 660 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,998 We had to survive intellectually and the best way 661 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,040 to survive cost-effectively and to keep up 662 00:35:37,079 --> 00:35:40,598 the interest in what's around, that's once 663 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,598 a week, all the time, year after year, read 664 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,238 a relevant philosophical text once a week. 665 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:49,478 And discuss it in great detail consistently 666 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,958 throughout the years. 667 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,960 In contemporary philosophical analysis 668 00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:59,718 we observe deindividualization, that is, 669 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,158 all concepts, related to the individual as 670 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,758 autonomous are gradually being destroyed. 671 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,478 And this deindividualization leads to... 672 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:14,120 to greater individual involvement and agency. 673 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,038 However in international criminal law 674 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,400 the norm principle is individual culpability. 675 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,158 This norm principle is not subject to 676 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:25,280 any discussion. 677 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,680 It was established after the war 678 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,518 and has been reaffirmed several times 679 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,958 in The Hague and elsewhere. These norms 680 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,718 and principles have never been reconsidered. 681 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,638 It's such a transition from the Old Testament 682 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,438 perspective on the world, on the relationship 683 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,638 between individual, society and God, to the 684 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,958 New Testament precisely as collective 685 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,958 responsibility and collective guilt for 686 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,838 transgressions. It was a giant leap forward: 687 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,798 the understanding that an individual must 688 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:05,038 personally answer both to God and society 689 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,758 for their own actions and decisions 690 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,198 and no one else. 691 00:37:09,240 --> 00:37:13,158 Individual guilt makes a person... not shift 692 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,478 responsibility onto others, but rather contemplate... 693 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,358 what wrongs I'm personally committing. 694 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,758 Observing this conversation, I find myself 695 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,758 leaning more towards the Ancient Greeks, 696 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,758 where it is said that a person is wiser 697 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,438 the more personal guilt he can bear. 698 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,998 But speaking more abstractly Heidegger's 699 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,758 philosophy teaches: every "self", as individual 700 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,358 as it may seem and Buddhism teaches 701 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,640 this in its own way, is a certain fiction. 702 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,758 So, if I personally start to examine myself, 703 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,438 what I'm guilty of or how I participate, 704 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,998 don't participate, what I can do. If I begin 705 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,758 to analyze this, I will always end up with 706 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,558 some form of "we". 707 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,358 I just recall the Soviet Union. With the same 708 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:04,958 words we were brought up in the 709 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,440 Soviet Union. You must feel this is "we". 710 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:09,358 Naturally. 711 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,038 Is this a return to the Soviet Union because 712 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,358 of our special military operation? 713 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,678 Well, I don't think it's philosophical. 714 00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:19,438 May I respond? I think the approach that 715 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:24,358 was in the Soviet Union it, it was state deficiency. 716 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,278 It was a certain extreme. And it created 717 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,358 an environment where one could always hide 718 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,958 or, conversely, never express any guilt. 719 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,758 It was always easier for them to remove 720 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,520 themselves behind some "we". 721 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,758 And I'm talking about how this "we" and 722 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,438 "collective" in defiance of the individual, 723 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,680 should be reflected upon from within. 724 00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:49,598 In one of Victor Pelevin's works, 725 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,358 the protagonist expresses the idea that 726 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,718 the highest form of self-realization for the 727 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,558 fly agaric as a mushroom is an atomic explosion, 728 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,958 and humans are just an auxiliary form of life 729 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,358 that the mushroom uses to achieve its goal. 730 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,638 Can we use mushrooms to achieve our highest 731 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,558 human form, even if it means annihilating 732 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:05,800 all the mushrooms? 733 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,518 Well, the mushroom period 734 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,400 was relevant for us in the 90s. 735 00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:16,958 Well, you were saying how these turbo patriots 736 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,198 feel. Turbo patriots feel shame. 737 00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:22,278 Of course they do. Well, of course. 738 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,560 Because the army isn't winning. It's shameful. 739 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,438 The truth is revealed, 740 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,000 that all is not as good as imagined. 741 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,958 And here the truth is revealed 742 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,000 or actually falsehood? 743 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,800 Thus truth is indeed an act of revelation. 744 00:39:40,720 --> 00:39:42,278 Actually I wanted to say something else, 745 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,520 but I just simply enjoy the conversation 746 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,718 itself about truth, as liberation. 747 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,718 In other words, truth is not 748 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,918 an achievement of something. It's not like 749 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,918 we conquered Crimea, and now we have it. 750 00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,358 But the truth is the opposite, 751 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,400 like the disappearance of something, 752 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,598 like the removal of a veil and placing 753 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,878 consciousness into emptiness, in the 754 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,400 deadlock where prostration. Yes. 755 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,800 He gives an example of contrasting to pride. 756 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,360 We are proud of, I don't know, our past victories, 757 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,880 our gold medals at the Olympics. 758 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,000 Which means we're basically ready somehow 759 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,158 identify ourselves as one community, 760 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,480 that can take pride in a group of people, 761 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,358 be it athletes, politicians or warriors, 762 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,638 who once in the past represented 763 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,958 intergenerational pride. Someone did something, 764 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,160 and we continue to take pride. 765 00:40:45,240 --> 00:40:47,198 But pride doesn't imply our 766 00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:50,558 participation in their victory. This means, 767 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,958 we in no way claim, that 768 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,958 "I created a climate in society." 769 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,558 "I'm responsible for the conditions in which 770 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,358 these wonderful athletes grew up, 771 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,958 those who brought gold to our country, 772 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,718 meaning we are not attributing credit to ourselves. 773 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,238 So why, when it comes to collective guilt, 774 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,358 the author, following Rollo May, we all, who 775 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,558 support the rhetoric for some reason collective 776 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,838 guilt suggest sharing responsibility? 777 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,238 In one of the animated sitcoms, 778 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,038 perhaps in "American Dad", there was an 779 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,158 episode where the worst thing happened. 780 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,558 All countries launched missiles at each other, 781 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,518 leading to the destruction of all life and 782 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,638 the planet. But while the rockets were flying, 783 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,038 Chinese scientists managed to launch a capsule 784 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,678 into deep space, containing all their cultural 785 00:41:34,720 --> 00:41:38,198 heritage, everything that they considered 786 00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:41,158 the pinnacle of their culture and ethnicity, 787 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,358 including a sphere of Chinese ice cream. 788 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,518 So, this capsule traveled for millennia, until it 789 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,358 was discovered by extraterrestrial beings, 790 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,518 who were so enthralled by the ice cream, 791 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,758 that they deemed it necessary to clone the Earth, 792 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,958 and go through the entire Evolution process 793 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,758 up to that very moment it appeared, 794 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,038 just to experience that ice cream again. 795 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,398 What item do you think might have motivated 796 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,438 the extraterrestrials to restore the Earth 797 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:05,958 and the people on it? 798 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,358 Here's what's important: 799 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:11,518 it's a threat and the fear of the "big Other". 800 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:15,358 This culture of the 90s, maybe the early 801 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,438 2000s was always generating diversity. 802 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,798 And it's quite hard to accept it. And as a result 803 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:27,438 we got a reaction. It's like the rise of superstition, 804 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,518 conservatism, aggression. And it seems 805 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,758 to me, that this such an aesthetic 806 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,958 counter-revolution, and we need to live through 807 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,758 it somehow, ideally keeping oneself intact. 808 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,078 Because in essence, we are already in that 809 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,238 future, which is connected with this new 810 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:51,478 cultural power, that comes through diversity. 811 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,558 Well, we... we embrace different cultures, 812 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,878 and it intrigues us. This is how the modern 813 00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,198 person is structured. That is our vector, 814 00:43:00,240 --> 00:43:03,758 for modern human. But at the same time, 815 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:07,358 we are always dragging along old metaphysics, 816 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,278 old philosophical concepts, that we need 817 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,558 to merge together into one thing, 818 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,998 and stand against the threat of another. 819 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,958 That's why the political task now is not just to 820 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,758 survive, but to stop the aggression. 821 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,797 But also to retain what we have developed 822 00:43:26,839 --> 00:43:29,358 through the cultural diversity, 823 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,758 through the network culture organizations. 824 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,840 Well, we're trying to do just that. 825 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,358 Talks about guilt brought up unpleasant 826 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,518 associations for me, but I listened to the words 827 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,000 of people I didn't know, 828 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,000 people I had never seen before, 829 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:51,998 and thought they were too smart 830 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,000 for me.
