Marx's BIG mistake: reducing reality to class & economics, ignoring culture, cognition, and adaptive feedback shaping complex systems beyond class.

Hegel's dialectic tracks COMPLEXITY unfolding; reduce it to a SINGLE driver and you FLATTEN Geist into a rigid, brittle model

@PrettyGnosticMaschine I think "ignoring culture" is part of the solution to break cognitive dissonances: Every culture has the same archetypes. See the parallel, break the wall.
@lankohr i get what you're pointing at--the shared pattern beneath the costumes. There's definitely something real there. Yes, shared patterns are real, but they show up *through* culture, not outside it. Ignore the medium and you flatten the signal.
