Welcome!/Tere Tulemast!

In this blog, I mostly write in English, although when I write about things that may also be important for my grandparents, then I also translate my posts into Estonian.

Käesolev blogi on enamjaolt kirjutatud inglise keeles, kuid kirjutised, mis on mõeldud ka vanavanematele lugemiseks, on tõlgitud ka eesti keelde.

Quotes to live by

"Dream, risk, have fun and never regret!"

"The World is a sick place, a sick place indeed and it's getting worse not better! We, only we have the power to change it and if we have the power, then why not to use it?" - Peter Cox

"Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't." - Eleanor Roosevelt

"You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist." - Nietzsche

Week #1 - Rerestart

Tere sõbrad ja muidu lugemishuvilised!

Otsustasin proovida uuesti aktiivsemalt blogida, kuid üsna kiire elu tõttu, püüan seekord alustuseks iga nädalase kokkuvõtte kirjutamisega hakkama saada ning seetõttu ka natukene vähemate detailidega, kui mõned eelmised postitused, kuid usun, et saate selle kõigega väga hästi hakkama - loodan, et minagi...

Aa, ja ma ei hakka tegema kokkuvõtet sellest, millega üldiselt tegelen, vaid lasen teil ajapikku aimu saada, mille kõigega ma hetkel oma käed sidunud olen.

Hi friends and just random people, who happened to have too much free time, so they came here!

I decided to retry blogging a bit more actively, but due to my quite fast lifestyle, I will only try to make weekly summaries and will most likely have less detailed texts than the posts that you might find from the past, although I believe you will more likely appreciate it.

Oh, and I will not make a summary of my activities, which I am tied up at the moment, and will let you find it out yourself by following my doings.

Plato: The Failure of Democracy

Tervist,

Nüüdseks olen juba varsti kuu aega Eestis olnud ja vabandan, et ei jõudnud kunagi selleni, et kirjutada lennureisist, kuidas ma tagasi Eestisse jõudsin.

Kuid hetkel pole see kõik oluline, vaid kirjutan vaid seepärast, et meil on koolis filosoofia tunnis vaja teha filosoofiline kõne ning minu teemaks osutus sel korral "Miks demokraatia on tarkade meelest halvim?". Sellega seoses olen nüüd lugenud palju materjale ning kõige huvipakkuvana leidsin ühe Platoni teose analüüsi, kus Platon käib välja oma idee ideaalsest ühiskonnast (kuna ka tema oli demokraatia vastane - sellest kõigest, miks nii, kirjutatakse ka antud kirjatükis). Antud kirjutis pole mitte huvitav lugeda vaid neile, kes otsivad oma argumentidele põhja, et miks on demokraatia halb, vaid ka neile, kes otsivad üleüldse võimalusi oma silmaringi laiendada ja seega mõtlesingi, et jagaksin seda ka teiega ning seega lisangi selle kohe nüüd ka siia oma blogisse:

Hi all,

I am sorry that I never wrote about my last journey from RSA back to Estonia but as I have now been in Estonia for almost a month, I will not going to do it at all this time (nothing that important did not happen there anyhow)

What is important is the present, where I have to do a philosophical speech on "Why the wise consider democracy the worst?". Now, while I have been trying to write this speech, I have read through many-many good materials and for myself I discovered Plato's Republic, which has lots of great material for me and my speech. More importantly, I found this one material, which is like an analyse for the book and I think every person, who is interested in gathering more knowledge and widening their "horizon", should read it through - it is not too long and it has lots of good ideas (especially I loved Allegory of the Cave), so I will now add this thing here also and I hope you enjoy it:

Last weekend and some extra days in South Africa

Tervist kõik, kes te seda nüüd loete :),

Viimased päevad on olnud tõsiselt tegevuste rohked ning kiired + interneti vabad, kuid nüüd lõpuks olen tagasi kodus Johannesburgis ning internetis ja seega saan teile kirjutada oma mõningatest seiklustest.

Three days of being really-really tired


Tervist kõik sugulased, sõbrad ja muidu segased,

Viimased paar päeva on olnud üpris tegevuste rohked, väsitavad ja kiired ning sellest kõigest tulenevalt saan ma teile kirjutada alles nüüd ning taaskord mitmest päevast korraga.

Hi family, friends and other people,

Last days have been tiring, fast-going and I have not had time to write the blog, but now I am again here and writing this little blog.
