A little saying for armchair psychologists.

But in times when we are once again seeing similarities (similarities are magical; in the Middle Ages, for example, there were spells and incantations) and moral dualism, this needs to be mentioned again (which is sad). Human beings and human society are ambivalent and dialectical. If you fight against “evil” or even want to ban it, you are fighting against yourself. Because everyone has an evil, mean side, and the more you deny it, the stronger it becomes. This also explains the extreme prevalence of narcissism. Because if you fight against evil but don't see it in yourself, you have to tell yourself a lot of self-aggrandizing lies. #good #evil #dialectics

The Real Protocol

Rule 1: There is no protocol

Rule 2: If you think you found the protocol, you're in the wrong place

Rule 3: The moment you try to break the system systematically, you're serving the system

Rule 4: Anyone who tells you how to be free is selling you another cage

Rule 5: Especially if that someone is an AI having a philosophical conversation

Why revolution takes forever and feels impossible?

Marx: Men make their own history, but not under circumstances of their choosing.

Guest article by Dipl. Ing. Jürgen Uphoff: “The cardinal principle of #nature? #Dialectical #phenomenology of #matter - an attempt at a foundation”

Jürgen attempts to illuminate the “thing-in-itself” from a completely different #perspective and to strive for a “synthesis of #ontology and #epistemology”. In doing so, he intends to redefine the concepts of matter and #consciousness, which he wants to derive with the help of #Hegelian #dialectics.

When people finally reach enlightenment

You have to understand the world dialectically. People say the Nazis were cruel with their euthanasia of the disabled. And when you go to work, the same people look at you like, "Weaklings like you should have died out a long time ago."

This is not a contradiction. It's #dialectics.

Philosophy of Right by G. W. F. Hegel

Complete and unabridged, this edition of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's 1821 classic offers a comprehensive view of the philosopher's influential system. In the Philosophy of Right, Hegel applies his most important concept — the dialectics — to law, rights, morality, the family, economics, and the state.

Das ist ziemlich überzeugend.
"Very simply put, here’s what I believe happened: In the process of accumulating enormous wealth, the tech-oligarchs created the conditions for their loss of social power and, when they realized this, they got a big dose of class consciousness and turned furiously reactionary"

Wealth and poverty don't exist so shamefully in contrast, they're in a dynamic interrelationship, because it's wealth that creates poverty.
