I want to welcome everyone to our reading of On Resistance to Evil by Force by Yvonne Ilyan.

Dr. Johnson, how are you doing today?

I'm doing okay.

It's weird starting another book.

But my co-hosts aren't here.

They're at odds with each other these days.

So, but this is, this is a more difficult book than the Solstained one.

And Ivan, Elyn was an excellent philosopher, definitely on our side and almost everything.

And is hated by the regime and all of a sudden hated by the regime.

Every person, every Russian writer that the regime hates becomes Putin's brain all of a sudden.

And it's Ilin more recently.

And hence Putin's a fascist because that's what Elin was, which of course isn't true.

Nor do they don't even know what that term means.

So a lot of this translation is my own, but I always use the machine translation as a base

for something this deep and complex machine translation is very limited.

But these days, it's much better than it used to be.

I remember when I first came out.

That's how I had to, I knew I had to learn language.

It was worthless if it wasn't Spanish or French.

So it's shorter than a Schultzian-Eason book, but it's in greater depth.

So this is going to be very interesting.

And this, Eileen gets cited all the time, gets read very little.
