    Reality is a process forever stream through time and space, patterns emerge, systems form, change, collapse. New processes, new systems, solar systems spiral, evolutionary processes flow. Society as a system, civilization as a process. More processes, more systems, processes within systems, systems within processes. Beyond beginning and end, universe and speck…

    IT’S TURTLES ALL THE WAY DOWN!!!























  • You should probably explain what you mean, because I already stated that ideological fantasy does not determine objective reality.

    That is the exact opposite of “idealism” you dolt.

    It was explicitly outlined in Marx’s writing. The dictatorship of the proletariat. As Žižek wrote in The Sublime Object of Ideology, “ideological fantasy creates social reality.” However, that social reality does not determine objective reality, merely how we interact with it. The Marxist position of achieving class consciousness is a falsehood, it is a presupposition that ignores human nature. There is no deeper philosophical meaning, the surface is the truth, the masses are an inertial force, an object not a subject. In a deterministic universe, all we have to do is look at past results to predict future outcomes.

    A quote from my copy of Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit, “What is universally valid is also universally effective; what ought to be, in fact also is, and what ought to be without [actually] being, has no truth.”
