    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 :)
