What will the economy look like when robots take over most of the jobs as a result of scientific and technological progress?

That sounds suspiciously similar to your view on eternal life. "Let's wait and see (until its too late to do anything about it)." ;)
Дэйв, это была шутка... на самом деле я думаю, что 200 лет это конечно же мало. Давайте подождём ещё 300.
 
People who follow classical music and literature are familiar with Russian culture in those categories. I love Russian classical music ...Rimsky-Korsakov, Borodin, Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Rachmaninoff, Shostakovich, Stravinsky, Glinka, et al. And classic Russian literature is also appreciated.... Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Turgenev, Gogol, Chekov, Gorky, Pasternak, Solzhenitsyn, and the incomparable master who was Vladimir Nabokov. (we discussed Bulgakov earlier, as I recall) People who are not familiar with Russian culture are pathetic idiots who are not fit to live.
Да пусть живут как хотят, просто они сами не знают как много теряют.
 
Теперь я уже знаю кто такой Хендрикс благодаря Вам. Я сейчас нашла один из его концертов и немного послушала. Ну... это не та музыка, которую я слушаю. Я не говорю, что она плохая или хорошая, просто это не моё. Не знаю почему, просто это так и всё. О вкусах не спорят.
Вы ничего не сказали о русской литературе. Не надо путать ту, настоящую Россию, ещё не изуродованную большевиками, и Советский Союз. Ту, старую Россию любили. В ней была какая то неповторимая душевность. Не знаю, сможем ли мы когда-нибудь её возродить. И не надо судить о стране по её политикам. Народ и власть, не всегда одно и то же.


Live recording were a bit ropey in the 1960s, “All along the watch tower” has to be studio version. I do recommend “Woodstock” 1969 just because it was one of those iconic happenings like Live Aid (although the music at Live aid was mostly garbage)

Ok so I mentioned, History, politics, Gymnastics, Classical music, mathematics Biology and Physics but did not mention Russian Literature?

I mentioned Dostoevsky earlier and could have mentioned Tolstoy and Chekhov.

Please remember you prefaced all this by, “that was before I was born.”

My area of study is not history, politics and literature, it is science and more recently Biblical topics, scripture, Early Christianity, textual criticism.

I know little Russian culture agree but that’s the same with Cuba, New Zealand and Croatia too.

I know and play the music I like, which is classical, jazz, Classic rock and 1960s-70s pop. The mid1990s was nice period.

Толстых вообще то двое: Лев и Алексей. Который из них Вам нравится? А Лермонтов, Есенин, Булгаков, Аверченко, Вам не знакомы? Лермонтовский "Демон" Вам наверняка понравится, раз Вам нравится библейская тематика. У Аверченко юмор не хуже, чем у Чехова. У Булгакова и глубина и ирония.
 
A bit harsh.
I am having trouble posting emojis from my chrome tablets emoji library. No idea why they appear in the editor but then don't post. That comment was followed by a smile/wink emoji. I will put something in parentheses after such joking comments, if the emoji problem persists.

And a world without the films of Tarkovsky and the scoring of Artemyev is unfit to live in.
 
There are actually two Tolstoys: Lev and Alexey. Which of them do you like? And Lermontov, Yesenin, Bulgakov, Averchenko, are you not familiar with them? You will probably like Lermontov's "Demon" since you like biblical themes. Averchenko's humor is no worse than Chekhov's. Bulgakov has both depth and irony.
I prefer Lev. I especially like his later writings on anarchism and, yes, even Christianity--he subscribed to a brand much more palatable to me.

Я сталкивалась с кубинцами однажды в детском лагере. Не знаю, есть ли такие лагеря на Западе: родители покупают путёвку на месяц, и ребёнок едет туда отдыхать во время каникул. Там ходят в походы в горы, ездят на экскурсии, устраивают концерты,детей учат разным интересным вещам, это что то типа ваших скаутов. Ну так вот, те дети, которые попали жить в одном корпусе с кубинцами, они просто попросили родителей забрать их оттуда домой. С ними невозможно было жить вместе, понятия "культура" они не знали от слова "совсем". Возможно, не повезло именно нам, и есть другие кубинцы, но у меня был такой вот опыт.

In that case no. I AM ignorant.

I think a lot of the humor in Russian literature--especially from the 19th century--probably does not translate well. I like it (what I can pick up), but it tends to be very dry and dark.

One of my favorite characters ever--besides Prince Myshkin--is Alexei Kirilov, from Dostoyevsky's The Demons: the radical epileptic, bomb-throwing anarchist. Every scene with him is really quite funny, but I don't think this is readily apparent. In Camus' adaptation, as the play The Possessed, he is whole lot less funny. I don't know whether Camus missed the humor entirely, or it was simply that Camus favored a much darker version.

Хороший юмор у Булгакова. У Аверченко тоже. Только это уже 20-й век. У Булгакова есть менее известные произведения, например "Записки юного врача", но они легче для понимания, чем "Мастер и Маргарита".
