0:00And I'm going to start making 1 distinction between
0:021 traditional conversation and dialectics.
0:04Traditionally,
0:05in 1 conversation,
0:061 person tries to convince the other is I am a priori right,
0:10not you,
0:10because there is 1 retention bias.
0:12So 1 a priori is right about things and talks with
0:16the other in 1 conviction process,
0:18right?
0:18So in this convincing process it's that,
0:21hey,
0:21well I USE my arguments and my tools of speech and ta ta ta and manipulation
0:27and bias and manipulate the idea and move the goal and all these tactics
0:32and eventually I'm going to convince you that I'm right,
0:36aha.
0:37Dialectics is fundamentally the opposite.
0:40Dialectics is how we could,
0:43through 1 conversation,
0:45get closer to the truth,
0:47okay?
0:47And I am going to give you 1 simple example.
0:50Dialectics.
0:50Dialectics from the Hegelian sense,
0:52which,
0:53in fact Hegel never used the,
0:54the triad thesis,
0:55antithesis and wisdom,
0:57but it is 1 Good way to explain it.
0:59Nothing more than I will try to demystify.
1:01The way we approach the truth is,
1:04you put 1 premise,
1:06And in fact the word thesis is singing,
1:07rather it is not from Hello,
1:08but you put 1 premise,
1:09so this is the thesis.
1:11Someone criticizes the premise,
1:13that's the antithesis.
1:15But the antithesis does not necessarily have to be the opposite absolute,
1:19of course,
1:20but may be some inconsistency within the term,
1:22in creating conflict with the term.
1:24Exactly.
1:24You oppose the term somehow.
1:26Then from the thesis you oppose the thesis
1:29with 1 antithesis and you arrive at 1,
1:31which is the thesis solves the problem posed
1:34by the antithesis and rises slightly.
1:37And I'm going to explain it very easily,
1:39I'm going to tell you,
1:40water is 1 liquid,
1:42The antithesis could be,
1:43imagine, 1 guy,
1:44like this,
1:44critic with 1 voice,
1:452nd shit, eh?
1:46But if you lower it below 0 degrees it becomes 1 solid
1:49and if you raise it above 100 degrees,
1:51it becomes 1 vapor.
1:52So water is 1 liquid at temperatures between 0 and 100 degrees,
1:56correct?
1:57That's the qualification is the thesis that solved
2:00the antithesis and became 1 qualification,
2:04That should be the dialectical conversation,
2:06something that has been missed a lot.
2:08Bitch.
2:09And that's to me why I find it fundamental that more people
2:11have these kinds of conversations,
2:13you know?
2:13Completely.
2:141 conversation where you don't assume that you are right a priori,
2:171 conversation where it is not 1 game of sum 0 because it stops
2:20because they are practically the conversations that we see on
2:23social networks or Twitter or whatever you want.
2:25There is not 1 conflict ideas to arrive at 1 common idea or 1 common truth,
2:29but simply 1 noneation,
2:311 alienation of 1 point of view contrary to yours.
2:33Of course.
2:34And that seems super dangerous to me,
2:36man.
2:36Totally,
2:37because the very idea of dialectics is that every time I talk to you,
2:41my ideas complement your oppositions,
2:44And since you hear,
2:46I had not considered this point,
2:47so I have to my ideas,
2:49but trying to incorporate something that I identified
2:51as legitimate in your critique.
2:54And the moment I emphasize your criticism,
2:56I can improve my position.
2:57Yes, completely.
2:58And and I say if we want to see it under 1 process,
3:00for example of language and of and of and of the mind,
3:03how reactions are constructed,
3:04that is something very similar in psychology.
3:06If you are not,
3:07if you are completely biased to not wanting to see absolutely
3:10nothing in the other's argument,
3:12you are practically annihilating the creative capacity of dialectics.
3:17Because dialectics is creative,
3:18isn't it?
3:18Meanwhile,
3:19if you have that opening it reedits.
3:21And your thinking is reedited at the same time
3:23because when you mention something,
3:25I am with this openness to listen to you and to try to associate certain
3:29words or certain phrases or certain sentences that
3:31you tell me with thoughts that I have,
3:33I am going to produce consequently new linguistic and mental associations
3:37that are going to produce new mentals that are going to produce 1 1,
3:41new ideas. Güey.
3:42So in this sense dialectics is creative.
3:45But if you inhibit,
3:46if you annihilate the creative faculty of dialectics,
3:49predisposed to not want to hear anything from the other,
3:52you are practically condemning yourself to stay on 1 level of thought.
3:56Yes, satin.
3:57Satin. Yes,
3:57of course.
3:58Either he is condemned to the insipid to,
4:00or he is condemned to be sterile.
4:01Aha, that's right.
4:02Because it does not produce anything new and I just think that
4:05just now I was thinking and making silence,
4:07I think that one way to put dialectics into practice is by listening.
4:11That's why I die of fear every time uh,
4:13people say,
4:14oh no.
4:14Yes,
4:14but this is your truth.
4:15It is not my truth,
4:16it is that what it is what does it mean that it
4:19is your truth and appeal your truth?
4:21.
4:21That is,
4:21you are becoming self-absorbed.
4:23Of course you are.
4:23And this assimilation is just the problem of the death of dialectics.
4:27And just what you just mentioned,
4:28the death of dialectics is the infertility of ideas.
4:31Think of it in the ideal world,
4:33that is,
4:33what would politics be like,
4:35for example,
4:35if there were really dialectical debates?
4:37How often you see that 1 2 people are having 1 conversation and you immediately
4:42realize that the 2 start the conversation with a priori reason.
4:45Yes, yes, yes, and,
4:46and a lot.
4:46And most of them end up the same way.
4:48Oh, sure.
4:49They didn't move the centimeter,
4:51Yes, oh, well,
4:52well,
4:52that's why you let them end up with the same reason,
4:55so that whole process was practically painful,
4:58wasn't it?
5:00I believe that I also believe that something poetic 1 poetic
5:02connotation that we can call 1 Good dialectics,
5:04is this idea that you do not survive 1 dialectic.
5:07Of course, that is,
5:07when you do not survive 1 conversation,
5:09that is when 1 dialectic occurred.
5:10There was something good,
5:11because something of me died,
5:13And it resurfaced after that conversation,
5:15something New in me.
5:16So that means that 1 previous idea that I had,
5:19died and 1 new idea was produced.
5:21So don't survive 1 conversation.
