Dialectics, Vol. 4: Iterated Dialectics and the Dialectical Ratchet

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 192

Recently on the New Discourses Bullets podcast, host James Lindsay laid out the three classical dialectics of both Hegel and Marx, which laid the foundation for Lenin and eventually Woke thought. In this fourth episode exploring dialectics more directly, he adds an important dimension to the dialectical approach: it is not, as some say, a "one-time good deal." Dialectical manipulations are meant to be iterated. That is, you don't transform a target with them just once but instead apply them over and over again, ratcheting the situation toward a desired goal or state of affairs. In this episode of the podcast, Lindsay explains the iterative intention of the dialectical approach. You don't want to miss it.
