A possible simple explanation of what dialectics are

Today walking through a Quebec swamp a thought came suddenly.

We as humans communicate mostly via conventions.

In other words, we decide what a word means by what we, as a culture want it to mean, then fix the term as a convention via a dictionary or other means so we can express what we want to each other and be understood. It’s a group process more or less but based on what we want expressions, words, concepts and taxonomy to mean.

Dialectics is the imposition of meaning on existing terms for a political outcome which is destructive to what we all consider meaning. It is a complete hijacking of Meaning.

This also applies to taxonomy. The most underrated aspect of epistemology. Of how we see ourselves. Of how we understand the world, via categories. Via labels.

Dialectical taxonomy is what forces us to change everything we think about sexuality and accept political sexuality such as the Trans-movement.

This deserves a proper essay. But I just want to get the thought out there.

Imposing, forcing meaning on us. Changing terms to mean what a group of tyrants what us to think they mean as opposed to what they do.

Making words mean something other than what we meant them to mean, then banning or criminalizing them, even though they were good, useful terms that helped hold our culture together.

Attacking us for using perfectly good words with important meanings, then telling us what we meant by what we said, then cancelling us for it in the pre-revolutionary stage, and now in the UK outright arrest you now that the revolution is all but complete.

That is dialectics.

  1. Thank You, Vlad Tepes.
    The word ‘dialectics’ comes up quite often and many of us misread its meaning.
    You should pin the post to make it easier to read it again.
