Materialism as Marxism[edit]

  1. Marxism believing itself to be uncountable

    / generic Marxism

Materialist claims[edit]

  1. argument for general-sense historical materialism

    -> argument for the presence of semi-predictable cause and effect in history, for time itself as a physical process made of repeated physical patterns, and for basic kinds of predictable patterns within populations and societies. basic kinds of arguments which do not bring up class subpopulations but can serve as a foundation for these kinds of analyses

Claims against[edit]

  1. Materialism can't explain self-awareness

    / Materialism can't explain how matter can be aware of itself / Science and linear time can't explain how the universe can be aware of itself [1] -> laughably wrong. as soon as a human being describes a chemical reaction you see how the universe being aware of itself is possible. if it weren't possible chemistry would be a total mystery.

    step two: realize that social processes are only a little more complicated than chemistry.

  2. We're all made of matter and energy, therefore soul -> the claim that because energy is a substance, human individuals must have souls and humanity must be connected to God. this one is marked false becuase energy in particular does not prove a soul.
