the edfn voice chat is crazy because one minute im hearing the dumbest shit i ever heard in my life (affectionate) and then the next im being taught the basics of Hegelian dialetics
@vaporeon_ reported for telling lies
@wallhackio I just spent the last 10 minutes or so asking about lemons
@vaporeon_ you built and hosted a website that works on netscape you are not stupid
@wallhackio "Building a website" = sitting down at a computer terminal emulator and opening the text editor and writing a bunch of HTML and CSS
Anyone who knows how to read and how to type on a keyboard can do it
Hosting the website was also not particularly difficult, all the software for a HTTP web server already exists and I just had to configure it
The most difficult part was buying the domain
@wallhackio did they explain it as the thesis/antithesis/synthesis purrocess
@aescling we didn't get too deep into it it was just explained as ideas in combat with each other
@wallhackio this is a broadly accurate summary of how hegel’s method was analyzed by future writers but fur many reasons, most purromonently that “his work cannot be consistently formulated in such terms”, that way of viewing hegel is heavily contested by philosophers
if you really wanna get into the weeds on this the standard encyclopedia of philosophy article on hegelian dialectics has a lot to say on this
@aescling thanks for the explanation, nerd
@aescling @wallhackio so I did give the quick and dirty guide to hegel as it pertained to marxism but there are definitely people who have read more hegel than me who can present his ideas with much more nuance
@wallhackio it’s probably me saying the dumb shit

@wallhackio > one minute im hearing the dumbest shit i ever heard in my life
Quick fix: tell your computer to read my posts out loud. You'll hear even greater stupidity.
