      The founder of the social network VKontakte and the messenger Telegram, Pavel Durov, in a conversation with American blogger Lex Fridman, explained the meme about two chairs during his interview with journalist Tucker Carlson.

      Thus, Fridman suggested that these chairs refer to the already legendary meme, and asked what the philosophical wisdom of the two-chairs dilemma consists of, and whether he had encountered it.

      Durov replied that he had not come across that specific dilemma, but explained that it is a riddle known in Russian prisons that metaphorically describes any situation of choosing between two non-trivial options. At the same time, Durov emphasized that the correct answer to this riddle is to choose neither of the offered options. "And I think the right answer to this riddle is to do neither. Rethink the question itself. Come up with a solution that turns the drawback into an advantage, and then use it to deal with the second part of the problem," the founder of Telegram said in the interview.

      Recall that the conversation between Durov and Fridman lasted about 4 hours. In the same interview Durov stated that someone tried to poison him in 2018.
