Who did? Well, Lenin for one. In 1916, depressed by the collapse of the Marxist Second International into supporting all sides of the Imperialist War, he decided to resume his deep philosophical studies, and what he found surprised him. It turned out not only that the materialism/idealism contrast central to his "materialism and empirio-criticism" was badly off the mark, but (entre autres) that it was "impossible to understand the first chapters of Das Kapital without a thorough understanding of the whole of the "Science Of Logic." Thus, to this day, none of the Marxists have understood Marx."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-50583504421138865862018-12-11T15:58:58.422-05:002018-12-11T15:58:58.422-05:00There's no such thing as dembots 'observin...There's no such thing as dembots 'observing' humans, dembot.

They become lawyers. The #1 field contributing elected officials to our political system is law. Many become lawyers in order to run for office down the line and lawyers are overrepresented among presidents too. <br /><br />Maybe logicians have already influenced politics by forming the minds of those who will participate in politics. It may be too much to expect logicians to influence the general public as well. You have to want to think about this stuff -- clearly Somerby doesn't want to, so he mocks it instead. But lawyers are trained to waste brain power on all kinds of boring stuff, because that's what our politicians spend most of their time doing -- when they aren't busy fundraising.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
