"On Kasparov's political activities in Russia I disagree with him. It seems to me that his political opinions are empty. Garry is too destructive for my liking. According to him, everything in Russia is wrong, Putin did everything wrong . But that is simply not true. Garry’s approach to everything is just demagogic and destructive. I disagree with his opinion that the situation in Russia is as critical as he sees it. Of course Russia is not a democracy on the same level as countries such as Germany or France, but you cannot judge today’s situation without taking in the historical context. Russia had never been a democratic country in the past, so that is why the transition is not easy. Nevertheless, nowadays eighty percent of the Russian population is not forced to fight for their existence, as they had to, some ten, fifteen years ago." I agreed, that good Kasparov's political attempts at the Russia, are complicated, but, really, not for Hight King Top Post, here... » poste QUOTE 13th July 2008, 09:48am #2 by mandelshtam Leipzig Germany Member Since: Jan 2008Member Points: 1286 I am disappointed, i must say, about what Kramnik says. May be, kasparov seeks power, as he did when he was a chessplayer. But: It is not 'empty' to call for free speach, (ab out 40 journalists have been killed in Russia over the last 15 years), mostly the murderers are unknown, or the authorities do not even investigate.

QUOTE 13th July 2008, 10:55am #6 by NM GreenLaser Chester, NY United States Member Since: Oct 2007Member Points: 836 tas58 wrote, "Without free speech no other freedoms will last." Yes, that is true, but is overemphasized by the chattering classes, because it is how they make a living. Many people think that everything centers around what they do. Each right we have depends on other rights. The tas58 picture shows the exercise of the right to keep and bear arms. Many groups throughout history had no rights in their countries without being an armed political faction. If the rulers have all the sources of power, the individual can enjoy freedom of religion and freedom of speech in a tiny cell by talking to the wall. Without freedom of assembly there is no freedom of religion or freedom of speech. The most important right if we must choose one, is protection from arbitrary arrest. Yet, if the government cannot arrest those, humans and animals, who are brought up or born to kill us, we must retain the natural right of self defense. There are those who would even deprive us of using the above picture, showing a willingness to destroy free speech as a way to destroy the right to arms.

The first one is the right to live, meaning that the state (=governement + burocracy) must do everything to fight 1) criminals who kill (including those who claim they are a 'political movement') 2) hunger and poor health of your people, that means: you must ensure decent prices of food, you must fight homelessness, and ensure access of EVERYBODY to normal healthcare and education.

Moreover, the more one masters an art, the simpler they make it seem, even as they more interiorly understand the complexity inherent in it. Comedy, for instance - all of the best comedians make it look effortless. Poetry too, until you've actually really tried to write an excellent piece it looks super easy (how hard could it be? I just put one word after another and express myself, right?). It's probably the best sign of early improvement when you're trying your hand at something and you step back and are like "Wow, the rabbit hole goes deep indeed!" - have a real notion of appreciation for the depth of mastery a subject requires. Anything looks deceptively simple to those who lack haven't developed the necessary contextual, interpretive faculty. QUOTE 29th June 2008, 05:11pm #4 by Loomis Durham, NC United States Member Since: Oct 2007Member Points: 2305 I really like Rael's post here. How many times have I seen a good (or at least decent) artist sketch something and feel like, hey, there was nothing to that, I'll do it too. Uh, no I will not. Comedy is another great example. I've seen people try to repeat the bit of a stand up comedian and have nobody laugh at all despite the original material being very funny and the aped performance having nearly the same content. Math and science are similar. Though we are cheaters because we spend hours and weeks and months working something out and then show it off like we got it straight away. Textbooks continue this myth. A page or two in a textbook can sometimes represent decades of a researchers life. In class it's whizzed through like cheesecake as if nothing were ever simpler.
