Mentions in Episodes:
- Episode: Retelling the Greatest Story Ever Told | Dallas Jenkins | EP 509
Podcast: The Jordan B. Peterson PodcastI'll give you an example: so in The Brothers Karamazov, the hero is a novice named Alyosha, and he's contrasted with Ivan. Alyosha is a very good person, but he's not an intellectual and his arguments aren't as tightly formulated and pointed as they might be.

- Episode: Karl Deisseroth: Depression, Schizophrenia, and Psychiatry | Lex Fridman Podcast #274
Podcast: Lex Fridman PodcastI'm a big fan of Prince Mishkin from 'The Idiot,' and I learned from 'The Brothers Karamazov.'
