    536. Las tres preguntas (Leo Tolstoy)

    536. Las tres preguntas (Leo Tolstoy)

    Juan David Betancur
    elnarrodororal@gmail.com

    Hoy tenemos un cuento de Leo Tolstoy el escritor ruso autor de la guerra y la paz y ana Karenina. Este es uno de sus cuentos más conocidos. 

     

    Había una vez Cierto emperador que pensó un día que si conociera la respuesta a las siguientes tres preguntas, nunca fallaría en ninguna cuestión o asunto que se le presentara. Las tres preguntas eran:

    ¿Cuál es el momento más oportuno para hacer cada cosa?

    ¿Cuál es la gente más importante con la que trabajar?

    ¿Cuál es la cosa más importante para hacer en todo momento?

    El emperador publicó un edicto a través de todo su reino anunciando que cualquiera que pudiera responder a estas tres preguntas recibiría una gran recompensa, y muchos de los que leyeron el edicto emprendieron el camino al palacio; cada uno llevaba una respuesta diferente al emperador.

    Como respuesta a la primera pregunta, ¿Cuál es el momento más oportuno para hacer cada cosa?

      una persona le aconsejó proyectar minuciosamente su tiempo, consagrando cada hora, cada día, cada mes y cada año a ciertas tareas y seguir el programa al pie de la letra. Solo de esta manera podría esperar realizar cada cosa en su momento. Otra persona le dijo que era imposible planear de antemano y que el emperador debería desechar toda distracción inútil y permanecer atento a todo para saber qué hacer en todo momento. Alguien insistió en que el emperador, por sí mismo, nunca podría esperar tener la previsión y competencia necesaria para decidir cada momento cuándo hacer cada cosa y que lo que realmente necesitaba era establecer un "Consejo de Sabios" y actuar conforme a su consejo.

    Alguien afirmó que ciertas materias exigen una decisión inmediata y no pueden esperar los resultados de una consulta, pero que si él quería saber de antemano lo que iba a suceder debía consultar a magos y adivinos.

    Las respuestas a la segunda pregunta¿Cuál es la gente más importante con la que trabajar?

     tampoco eran acordes. Una persona dijo que el emperador necesitaba depositar toda su confianza en administradores; otro le animaba a depositar su confianza en sacerdotes y monjes, mientras algunos recomendaban a los médicos. Otros que depositara su fe en guerreros.

    La tercera pregunta Cuál es la cosa más importante para hacer en todo momento? trajo también una variedad similar de respuestas. Algunos decían que la ciencia es el empeño más importante; otros insistían en la religión e incluso algunos clamaban por el cuerpo militar como lo más importante.

    Y puesto que las respuestas eran todas distintas, el emperador no se sintió complacido con ninguna y la recompensa no fue otorgada.

    Después de varias noches de reflexión, el emperador resolvió visitar a un ermitaño que vivía en la montaña y del que se decía que era un hombre iluminado. El emperador deseó encontrar al ermitaño y preguntarle las tres cosas, aunque sabía que él nunca dejaba la montaña y se sabía que solo recibía a los pobres, rehusando tener algo que ver con los ricos y poderosos. Así pues el emperador se vistió de simple campesino y ordenó a sus servidores que le aguardaran al pie de la montaña mientras él subía solo a buscar al ermitaño.

    Al llegar al lugar donde habitaba el hombre santo, el emperador le halló cavando en el jardín frente a su pequeña cabaña. Cuando el ermitaño vio al extraño, movió la cabeza en señal de saludo y siguió con su trabajo. La labor, obviamente, era dura para él, pues se trataba de un hombre anciano, y cada vez que introducía la pala en la tierra para removerla, la empujaba pesadamente.

    El emperador se aproximó a él y le dijo:

    —He venido a pedir tu ayuda para tres cuestiones:

    ¿Cuál es el momento más oportuno para hacer cada cosa?

    ¿Cuál es la gente más importante con la que trabajar?

    ¿Cuál es la cosa más importante para hacer en todo momento

    The radical innovations of Caryl Churchill

    The radical innovations of Caryl Churchill

    Caryl Churchill is one of the most enduring and radical playwrights of our time. Several of her plays are now in production around Australia. To unpack the politics and theatrical risk-taking of Caryl Churchill, we're joined by experts, creatives and performers immersed in her work.

    Also, the sumptuous American musical Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 was a sensation in New York, where it was nominated for 12 Tony Awards. It's based on a tale of seduction and betrayal from Leo Tolstoy's epic novel War and Peace. It's now on at Sydney's Darlinghurst Theatre Company.

    Anna Karenina (Part I)

    Anna Karenina (Part I)

    Today, will be entering the world of Leo Tolstoy, as Professor J.T. discusses Anna Karenina, published in 1878. Grab your fuzzy hat and hop aboard the Trans-Siberian Express as we discover Russian literature. Hear why this epic novel is considered possibly the greatest novel ever created.

    There is so much to dig into, it's going to take more than one episode to get the job done. From the big city to the country, the race track to the opera house, there is no shortage of epic moments. This is only the beginning for Tolstoy's masterfully crafted cast of characters, introduced on today's episode of Everyman Academy.

    Class is now in session.

    Anna Karenina (1878)

    Anna Karenina (1878)

    Anna Karenina is one of the most nuanced characters in world literature and we return to her, and the novel she propels, again and again. Joining us today is critic and professor Bob Blaisdell who unravels the novel’s author Leo Tolstoy’s family, literary, and day-to-day life during the period that he conceived, drafted, abandoned, and revised Anna Karenina in his recent book titled Creating Anna Karenina.

    David Krakauer on Emergent Political Economies and A Science of Possibility (EPE 01)

    David Krakauer on Emergent Political Economies and A Science of Possibility (EPE 01)

    The world is unfair — but how much of that unfairness is inevitable, and how much is just contingency? After centuries of efforts to arrive at formal theories of history, society, and economics, most of us still believe and act on what amounts to myth. Our predecessors can’t be faulted for their lack of data, but in 2022 we have superior resources we’re only starting to appreciate and use. In honor of the Santa Fe Institute’s new role as the hub of an international research network exploring Emergent Political Economies, we dedicate this new sub-series of Complexity Podcast to conversations on money, power, governance, and justice. Subscribe for a new stream of dialogues and trialogues between SFI’s own diverse scholastic community and other acclaimed political economists, historians, and authors of speculative fiction.

    Welcome to COMPLEXITY, the official podcast of the Santa Fe Institute. I’m your host, Michael Garfield, and every other week we’ll bring you with us for far-ranging conversations with our worldwide network of rigorous researchers developing new frameworks to explain the deepest mysteries of the universe.

    In this episode, we talk with SFI President David Krakauer about the goals of this research theme and what SFI brings to the table. We discuss the legacy of long-standing challenges to quantitative history and mathematical economics, how SFI thinks differently about these topics, and a brief outline of the major angles we’ll explore in this sub-series over the next year-plus — including the roles of dimension, causality, algorithms, scaling, innovation, emergence, and more.

    Subscribe to Complexity Podcast for upcoming episodes with an acclaimed line-up of scholars including Diane Coyle, Eric Beinhocker, Ricardo Hausmann, Doyne Farmer, Steven Teles, Rajiv Sethi, Jenna Bednar, Tom Ginsburg, Niall Ferguson, Neal Stephenson, Paul Smaldino, C. Thi Nguyen, John Kay, John Geneakoplos, and many more to be announced…

    Where Love Is, God Is

    Where Love Is, God Is

    This Christmas week, we have a charming story from one of the world's greatest writers, Leo Tolstoy, called 'Where Love Is, God Is'.  Arguably best known for his epic novels such as 'War and Peace' and 'Anna Karenina', Tolstoy did write a number of short stories, including this one, first published in 1885.  This Tale is known by a few different names in the English translation, including 'Martin the Cobbler' for its protagonist, a humble shoe maker trying to become a more virtuous man.

    Episode 52: Frankenstein

    Episode 52: Frankenstein

    Sophie and Mark were cavorting in the frozen wastes, still looking for Imhotep’s Book of the Dead when Mark turned to Sophie and exclaimed: "It is true that I am a wretch. I've placed High School Musical into the cinematic canon, but have failed to highlight its racist background, and structural stomping out of minority representation. I shall collect my funeral pyre and consume to ashes this miserable flame."
    He sprang from the cabin window, as he said this, upon the ice-raft which lay close to the vessel. He was soon borne away by the waves and lost in the darkness and distance.
    This month we cover Frankenstein.
    Come and listen to us talk about the literary canon, Frankenstein vs Dracula on the Moon, and why you sometimes need to trust the narrator with the shifty eyes.

    How to Waste Your Life (Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilych)

    How to Waste Your Life (Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilych)

    The Death of Ivan Ilych (1886) is a famous novella (short novel) by Leo Tolstoy which penetrates our cavalier attitude about death, challenges our notion of a fulfilling life, and warns of the tragedy we may be headed towards if we do not value the proper things in life. Fortunately, it also portrays a potential solution to the vain and superficial lifestyle which often consumes us. With his signature style and psychological realism, Tolstoy’s work challenges us to consider life from its endpoint in order to live rightly before it is too late.

    Frankl: Finding Meaning In Everyday Life (2/2)

    Frankl: Finding Meaning In Everyday Life (2/2)

    Is the meaning of life something which can actually affect our daily lives, or is it an abstraction for philosophers? Viktor Frankl is convinced that a lack of meaning causes depression, addiction, aggression and boredom. He believes the key to finding meaning is realizing that life’s meaning is not a question that you ask life, it is a question that life asks you. Even the task of suffering courageously can be a means of fulfillment. Our sole and brief life offers one chance to act rightly before being forever sealed into the past. The task of being worthy of your sufferings, if that is your fate, might not be so meaningless after all.

    Tolstoy: Free Will, History, and Human Motivation (4/4)

    Tolstoy: Free Will, History, and Human Motivation (4/4)

    Can human beings determine their own destiny, or are we the inevitable product of our environment and nature? Sam Harris is convinced that free will is an illusion. After all, if the world is just matter and motion, how could there be free will? Not everyone agrees with Harris, however, and many thinkers see free will as a self-evident axiom on which morality is based. The question of free will is one that every serious thinker must consider, and for Tolstoy, this is an essential prerequisite for the question of human motivation and therefore the cause and direction of history.

    Notes

    • The intro music for this series is a section from a piece by Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov (1844—1908) titled The Sea and Sinbad's Ship. Rimsky-Korsakov was a contemporary of Leo Tolstoy and my favorite Russian composer of the era. I hope you enjoy the segment and the podcast.
    • The artwork is titled Battle of Moscow, 7th September 1812, painted in 1822 by Louis-François Lejeune.

    Tolstoy: What Can Beauty Teach Us? (3/4)

    Tolstoy: What Can Beauty Teach Us? (3/4)

    EPISODE SUMMARY
    There are brief moments in our lives where we are thrust out of ourselves and granted to see life as exceptionally magnificent, but also too close to touch, and impossible to fathom. For some people, it is love, poetry, friendship or maybe a film which causes us to see our world as a beautiful and cohesive whole for a fleeting and mysterious moment. For Andrei, it is the sky over a battlefield, a few notes in a song, and the cold grip of death. What do these moments of profound insight and deep emotion show us about life?

    Tolstoy: Can We Find The Meaning of Life? (2/4)

    Tolstoy: Can We Find The Meaning of Life? (2/4)

    Description
    Pierre Bezukhov searches for meaning in high society, sacrifice, relationships and religion, but ultimately he finds these things purposeless. Seth Andrews, host of The Thinking Atheist, says that the question of meaning is a bad question. Jordan Peterson says that personal responsibility provides an adequate foundation for meaning. St. Augustine says our hearts are restless until they find God. Leo Tolstoy says we have the whole question backwards.
