Let me know once you’ve read the Einstein-Freud Correspondence and re-assessed your opinions to be non-machiavellian. Then I will be happy to continue to engage with you.

Agreed. Let me see what I can do.

They’re just categorically different, there isn’t an “inside” or an “outside” in the sense of spatial structure as that is something derived a posteriori as part of thought.

So… there are things that are either within the category of thought or not? Is thought mutually exclusive to material? Is thought composed of material or the other way around? Or are they both the same?

I’m not sure what it would even mean to say reality is “thought”.

That is the standard definition of idealism, is it not? That existence is immaterial?

But what justification is there that what is thought of is actually in existence outside of thought? One can think of things that do not exist outside of thought.

What justification is there that reality isn’t thought by it’s very nature?

How do you justify the premise that reality is objectively-existent?

In your belief.

I encourage you to read the letters between Einstein and Freud which lay the theoretical groundwork for human rights.

[1931-1932] [resource] The Einstein-Freud Correspondence

edit: still short on time, but i will re-read your post and reply to the legitimate, non-political questions.

laws are tools. binding treaties create laws.

Human rights aren’t a tool at all

This is where you are wrong. They are more than just a set of ideals. They are also a set of binding international treaties.

I am short on time right now, but if this is a perennial issue for you, then I will reply in more detail soon.

The status quo use the NGO industrial complex to cynically wield human rights rhetoric

No disagreement there, other than you should be careful not tot throw out the baby with the bathwater.

In reality, Human Rights are our best tool in the fight against war. Human Rights do not make sense as a concept without understanding that. Equal rights for all means no more fighting for rights. The economic, social, and cultural rights outlined in the UNUDHR are quite obviously not the status quo.

. Instead we see “human rights” - based on what?

Language like that plus the failure to treat the subject of discussion to dignity was almost enough for me to remove this comment, on it’s own. Thankfully, the community has spoken using the tools available to them to indicate that your behavior is unacceptable. Keep it up and you’ll be removed.

also, apologies to everyone at lemmy.sdf.org if i am flooding local for you. i’ve been busy adding a bunch links

they also have an email address: membership at sdf dot org, but yeah, the internal BBS is where it is at.

We are a public access UNIX system, so it’s not as much of a void as it might seem :D

Well, please do share what you find!

You are on the right track w/ idealism vs materialism in psychology, at least.

The question there arose from the brain: how do you rectify the mind/soul with the brain/body? Dualism apparently fails (the idea that there is a separate mind from the brain) which leaves only some form of monism. A sort of hybrid materialism-idealism seems to make the most sense, where consciousness is a property of the universe, like time or space, and different entities have differing consciousnesses. In that sort of a philosophy, when talking about the brain of a person you are equally talking about the experience that person is having, just in different terms.

I suspect that in sociology that would be some sort of unified anarcho-marxism, if such a thing exists. The atomic theory of society seems to be the thing where they are working on unifying language. If society is fully atomized, asking whether a new society arises due to free choice or resource demands is like asking whether rivers rise due to rain or sewer overflow, if that makes sense?

apparently, depending on the language used, it will drive the easily angered on the right to insanity

You are very welcome!

I’m glad to be able to be of appreciation, as I know how that is - looks like you are in the right place to discuss political science though!

In the interest of conversation, maybe you can explain or point me to an explanation of why Anarchism vs. Marxism is considered “idealism vs materialism” in sociology?

In Psychology, we had an “idealism vs materialism” debate, but it is mostly resolved with a sort of “idealistic materialism” or “materialistic idealism” where, essentially, “idealism <=> materialism”, as I understand it.

I’m curious about what the current state of the art is, in that debate!

Either way, I’ll definitely spend some time in !politics@lemmy.ml checking things out.

Have you read about the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights yet?

Based on my understanding, that treaty will require us to have universal healthcare and social security.
