(spoilers below)</p><p>I’m fascinated by what the author ended up doing to Shatov. He had the worst outcome of any major character. But from his politics and background, Shatov appears to be a stand-in for Dostoevsky. So Dostoevsky has himself get cucked and killed, and then his wife and stepson also die.

  Politics as Consolation for Losers

  Mar 27, 202612 minS0

  This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.richardhanania.com<br/><br/><p>Rob Henderson is back to discuss Part II of Demons. In this conversation, we focus on how “on the nose” the novel seems when you think of it as predicting the future course of events in Russia. Dostoevsky told us that many of his fellow countrymen were demons who just wanted to destroy. The twentieth century seemed to prove that beyond doubt. I bring up some of the strange paradoxes of Dostoevsky’s Russian nationalism, as he appears to have contempt for hi...

  Vince Gilligan Interviews as the Word of God

  Jan 8, 20261h 44mS0

  <p>Chris Nicholson joins me to talk about Season 1 of Pluribus. This is a completely different conversation than the one I just had with Rob. Chris keeps pointing out, and I agree with him, that the show is probably not going to go that deep philosophically or in terms of the origins of the virus.
