This is a thread dedicated to learning all about the philosophy of Dialectical Materialism.

Dialectical Materialism is a philosophy of science and nature, based on the writings of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, and the philosophies of dialectics (which have their roots in Hegel) and materialism.

It's a shame that I don't have any Marx on Dialectical Materialism, really, being the father of the idea in many respects. Marx discusses Dialectical Materialism primarily in Capital - which I will not post in this thread - but for the real grandfather of Dialectics, here is Hegel, ''The Science of Logic"

This diagram sums up the theory of Historical Materialist Dialectics rather well. The black arrows on the left illustrate the abstract theory of Dialectics, as can be applied across Nature, while the red arrows illustrate the theory as applied to our Historical Materialist process - the process we have witnessed (and will go on to witness) form our Economic and Social relationships with our society.

I just had a idea. we should, on this board, start learning esperanto. This language is quite awesome (very easy, complete etc…) but no one is really talking it on the internet.

If we start to speak esperanto, people from all around the world will be able to join our project of /freedu/ , not just people from the western world.

So, I'm searching mate to start studying with me of esperanto. Also, feel free to share anything to help studying of esperanto.

I'll start with duolingo:

File: 1438508284993.pdf (163.98 KB, Lindstedt Native Esperanto….pdf)

Not for learning Esperanto but a paper on Esperanto as a Natural Language, and the possibilities of dialects and "nativizations" forming within the language.

Abstract:

Esperanto has some properties of a natural language, including about 1,000 firstlanguage

speakers. In studies of the speech of Esperanto-speaking children it is difficult

to find convincing examples of changes introduced by the process of nativisation. All

examples proposed seem rather to be due to (1) transfers from the children’s other

native languages, (2) differences between the spoken and written register of Esperanto

and, in some cases, (3) incomplete acquisition. Consequently, it would appear that

Esperanto has already been adjusted to the requirements of language universals or

Universal Grammar in the process of being used by non-native speakers, which is why

native speakers need not introduce immediate changes into it.

>come to board hoping for free educational materials

>it's mostly just a /leftypol/ version of /pdfs/

Come on, guys. You disgusting communists are welcome to your opinions and whatnot, but it's quite misleading to take over a board like this with them. It's not like /pdfs/ bans leftist/communist content. Take your soapbox there or to some commiebunker .pdf board.

Boards like what this board is advertised as should be more about neutral subjects like maths, fixing cars, languages, agriculture or even weapons. It wouldn't even need political or philosophical threads because you guys and /pol/ are more than happy to share their ideals on other boards. This board has neutral stuff too, but it is quite lacking and outnumbered by the /leftypol/ stuff.

I suppose this is board is a pretty accurate critique on the modern education system, eh?

Before you call me Porkie and throw faeces at me, could you perhaps redirect me to a board more to my tastes?

 No.959

You know this board was made by /leftypol/ right? Like it or not we are the one offering you free material of whatever interests people want that we can find, if you dont like that you could be a good little capitalist and go pay for this shit.

Post documents and infographs on the study of sex and sexuality, including both general works and more specific studies on the biology, psychology, philosophy, and sociology of sex.

Sexual education, consumer guides, porn, and written erotica are discouraged because they tend to come from non-academic sources or are fictional works, but docs that concern theories of sexual pedagogy or the effects of sexual consumerism and porn/erotica on sex and society are fine. Exceptions to this guideline include:

a) historically important works (e.g. the Kama Sutra, the works of Sade)

b) comprehensive, well-sourced works on sex education written for mature adults (NOT Tumblr posts, Oh Joy Sex Toy, introductory texts meant for schools, or instructional porn videos)

I'm a very visual learner. Studying something like law is a humongous effort because I feel like there's nothing I can attach the text to and it's often tedious to create any images or scenarios of it in my mind.

Almost everything I recall I recall through images associated with whatever I need to think of and if there are no images I learn practically nothing. Math is kind of the same regarding more complex/theoretical things. Everything just clicks as they do. Reading long academic texts is painful.

I don't really know if I use any learning techniques besides from >>348 but I'm starting to feel like I should.


 No.703

I am speaking of my own experiences, so your mileage may vary, but I find the "aural" and "visual" and "kinesthetic" learning strategies to be a bunch of bullshit. How in the fuck are you going to learn biology efficiently if you're a kinesthetic learner?

I've tried figuring this out for about 8 years. You wanna know the secret? Ask questions. We're very, VERY good at deceiving ourselves into thinking we know something. In programming, they have a way of debugging code called "rubber duck" debugging. You take a rubber duck, and explain to it what the fuck you were thinking when you wrote that code.

I'm not saying you should talk to a rubber duck, but the best way I found to retain information is to explain it, either in your head or preferably out loud, when you're alone. If you can't explain it thoroughly, or enough to make you happy, make a note of it.

After doing this technique a few times, I've actually thrown away textbooks, because they're really stupidly vague when you get down to the nitty gritty.

Of course, I'm not you, so this may not work for you. Still, it's something to try. What the hell, right?

try combining the art of mnemonics (a technique to improve memory originally) with what you learn:

Come up with small stories or situations (ideally stuff that could fit into a single "frame").

Then you remember that story or mental picture when trying to recall the material you learnt instead of some abstract concept.
