    This is again part of the problem. You can understand the fundamentals of ML in like an hour or less. A quick start guide being like 12 hours long is insane.

      I don’t think that’s accurate, though. How do you explain dialectical materialism, historical materialism, imperialism, why capitalism is fundamentally unsustainable, revolutionary strategy, and more in under an hour?

        You can definitely explain most of those in a way a 5 year old could understand in under 20 minutes.

        Not dialectical materialism though. I’ve read about it and had it explained to me more time than I can count, and my brain refuses to hold on to what it means.

              Haha, no worries! Really, it’s about materialism in outlook, dialectics in method. The rest follows from there!

                I read it. I’ve been reading a lot of complex systems science lately, and it seems to have a lot of overlap, so perhaps it will stick a bit harder this time. Thanks :)

        However else you explain any other concept, these are very simple ideas.
