I never stated science could explain everything
That is truthfully sad
I do state that science can explain the material conditions around us
Which still give ways for religion to subjugate others because science can't give enough
including the human condition that we live in every moment
but if it can't exlain everything it can't really explain anything
It can explain everything materialistc
It can explain everything
but it is not probable
atm
we don't even know if we're gonna get hit by a big rock in the next decades
or so
We're rather in a stuck issue with being a tiny blot in an empty vast space
assuming there is no other life forms
But I'm not really against materialism, it's not a big deal to me. My big issue then is that "ideas" are just as material as the sun. I hate the constant harping about "idealism" because brains are material objects and i think marxists neglect the role of ideology as the software of human brain hardware
I am almost entirely against idealism
From a scientific standpoint
So Marxists should take into consideration the concepts of what exactly?
I could understand absorbing it in political strategies
but aren't ideas material? answer me
That's hard.
Ok I will
From basic reduction, we can see that sociology stems from the principles of psychology, psychology from biology, biology from chemistry, etc. Due to this, ideas can be vaguely described as products that arise from complex reactions in the brain
In this context, do you say ideas do not exist in other forms of the world?
These complex reactions, (mood, feelings, memory, cognition, instict, etc) are only influenced by material s
Just solely in the brain meat themselves?
Yes.
aight
There has to be some
evidence to suggest otherwise
I'm in full agreement
Yeah no problem with that
So, as I understand it
Idealism is a false approach to any solution
It's just to me that means it's clear that we have to engage with ideas- they are part of the material conditions!
Since the underlying problems are materialistic
i never said im for idealism
No
but people call baudrillard idealist because he's interested in symbolic relations, not just economic interest
I would say ideas are products of material conditions
