Oleksandr Filonenko: “The path of deconstructing myths is not a very constructive one. A more constructive path is the path of witness.”
Today, my barber told me he wanted to become a sommelier. His friend said to him, “Zhenia, that’s very risky — you’ll end up drinking only expensive wine.” It’s the same with myths. I teach the theory of myth and understand how dangerous it is to use the word “myth” as a synonym for prejudice.
