what does dialectical mean?

[version]

Materialism.

 

[Clinamenic]

My understanding is thin, but its that Marx doesn't frame history as a dialectical co-evolution of ideas, but carnal, social forces.

 

[luka]

yeah thats what historical materialism is, that reversal

 

[luka]

you should read some marxist stuff really stan, it can actually be quite enjoyable

 

[craner]

This is great. This kid has a galaxy brain, but knows so little. We could fill it up with so much junk!

 

[craner]

Stan could take over Hollywood with the stuff we could pour into his open dome.

 

[luka]

its amazing. its cos he grew up in a commune where the children werent allowed to go to school

 

[luka]

no, stan really dont know anything. hes never read a book. this is one of the best things about him

 

[luka]

the commune was almost completely cut off from the modern world and the media environment

 

[craner]

We could Stan into the Dissensus Devastator:

 

[Clinamenic]

Fill me, craner.

 

[Clinamenic]

I've yet to behold a proper master, until then I will handle my own potential as mercury slipping through my fingers.

 

[Clinamenic]

'Does Stan really want in?'

I want in to such an extent as to negate the distinction between me and it.

 

[Clinamenic]

I was looking for a GIF of a tourist gaping at a skyscraper, but even if I had found one it wouldn't be able to compete with this.

 

[version]

You're going to be the Lawnmower Man and Gus is going to be the scientist who inadvertently turns you into an energy being.

 

[Clinamenic]

The Lawnmower Man is a 1992 science-fiction thriller-horror film directed by Brett Leonard, written by Leonard and Gimel Everett, and starring Jeff Fahey as Jobe Smith, an intellectually disabled gardener, and Pierce Brosnan as Dr. Lawrence "Larry" Angelo, a scientist who decides to experiment on him in an effort to give him greater intelligence. The experiments give Jobe superhuman abilities, but enhance his aggression, turning him into a man obsessed with evolving into a digital being.

 

[luka]

its a good film

 

[version]

I had a double-sided DVD of it with that insane Hugh Grant film I told Craner to watch on the other side.

 

[Clinamenic]

You're going to be the Lawnmower Man and Gus is going to be the scientist who inadvertently turns you into an energy being.

Doesn't seem like it would happen inadvertently.
