Unfortunately, most people who claim to use dialectical materialism aren’t actually doing dialectical materialism. This video covers what dialectical materialism really is and what it isn’t using concrete examples from cognitive science.
A really solid anti-Cartesian video essay.
Most of the time I see someone actually talk about diamat it feels like they do it to iron over some leap of logic.
You had me at anti-Cartesian.
[Descartes]
[the holistic nature of reality]Dualistic facts and logic defeated by relational intuition.

The last part of this video where she defends people being religious is also the exact same argument I make about terf “marxists” ignoring materialism in their conclusions.
Cool I’m saving this for later to watch.
I like that they have a similar understanding as me where it’s coming out of an interdisciplinary science. Dialectics becomes so easy when it’s just walking through the woods or seeing it in your work.
