I AM TRYING TO CATCH THEM ALL IN OUR "OUTLIERS" POSTS

actually there has been few nice blogs popping around here in Finland but they are mainly in finnish so...

THAT IS A SHAME

I BET THERE IS GOOD CONTENT

https://sarastuslehti.com/

we need more linkola

STRUCK ME AS INTERESTING

YES

ENTIRELY

yes Sarastus is a great one

LINKOLA + IMPALED NAZARENE

lol

the best of Finland

AND SIBELIUS

RATHER FOND OF HIS SECOND SYMPHONY

I just bought some old Linkola book

a collection of some kind

the way he writes is just astonishing

I don't know if it translates to English as well

NOT AS ASTONISHING BUT THAT IS NATURAL FOR TRANSLATIONS

VERY FEW ARE AS POETIC AS IN THE NATIVE TONGUE

ENGLISH IS A HIGHLY TECHNICAL LANGUAGE, SO PRECISION AND NUANCE ARE EMPHASIZED

BUT WHAT HAS LINGUISTIC POWER IN ANOTHER TONGUE

IS OFTEN LESSENED

I don't know if it's poetic but rather just raw power

highly informative

and you have to focus on every sentence and word

YES

THAT WAS DEFINITELY TRUE OF HIS ESSAYS

It's the opposite of say a newspaper

VERY PRECISE USE OF LOGIC

yes

NEWSPAPERS = FORM > CONTENT

BASICALLY THE ENGLISH TEXTS SO FAR

I wish there were more translators or a way to fund them. I'm anticipating a new translation of the Vedas. Seems like some things will never be translated

Can Life Prevail? is so fucking good

I just like to read him, and Timo Hannikainen, who was highly influenced by him, not only for the content

but also the style that is

so precise
