Happy Life
Auto-translated
Petrosyan's antics are infuriating.
Sarcasm aside, what does a kitchen-table philosopher-theorist rely on in a discussion? Nothing. He engages in demagoguery and tries to prove something, without even understanding the nonsense he's spouting.
And what does a streetwise guy do when he's chatting about life and its realities? Everything he says has a foundation. He's learned to value every word in his environment, and his words carry weight. When he catches a naive theorist in an inconsistency – and he will – he'll capitalize on it. "Hey, what the heck are you talking about, Vasya?" The kitchen-table philosopher will try to wriggle out of it and delve into even deeper verbal labyrinths, digging himself into an even deeper hole of incorrect demagoguery. He'll contradict himself, fall into one argumentative trap after another, because he's just theorizing and doesn't attach much importance to each individual word. Meanwhile, the streetwise guy's words are based on real-life experience, and, like Omar Khayyam's quatrains, represent several pages of deciphered text.
That's why a street thug can give a mom's demagogue a hundred points in philosophical debates. And you, stuck in your own little worlds, think in stereotypes and make yourselves look like fools. I'm sure you've never even stood near a streetwise guy, let alone talked to one.
