I don’t want to punch down, but that comes across a lot like trump saying he has the biggest words.

You may not have the time or inclination, but there is a lot to learn from studying Hegel and the history of philosophy. No ‘measurement’ is required.

That was never a question.

There are structural limits to the Hegelian Dialectic being used as a universal epistemology

Marxism and other non-numerically based epistemology traditions refuse to accept this

The majority of people aren’t even as deep as hegel and yet even the hegelians still think they have a universal epistemology

when they have a keplerian version at best that hasn’t even heard of subatomic particles

> That was never a question

You originally made the statement that "Hegel is irrelevant in the age of measurement", to which I objected. Unless you're going to back pedal further, you did find studying Hegel questionable.

I'm not going to go on the attack, but your pronouncements and self-certainty do not sound well considered.

They can both be true

For an ignorant uneducated person with absolutely no education thinking dialectically is an improvement

If you are a doctor or prime minister in 2026 you’re neglegent if your epistemological roots are based on a hegelian dialectic

But go off queen

Top-notch philosophical argumentation. All of your rare, educated and informed opinions really shine.
