Destroying a system means there isn't anything in place and also that you weaken the power of your own side because you had to go through all the violence needed.

That's obvious but it also explains why worse system can rise, but also that it's not always a doomed endeavor. I think the context has a lot to do with what will occurs next.

The best exemple i could give is the French Revolution. It was followed by the worst Napoleonic wars. But its philosophers founded the building block for the republic that's still in place to this day.

The red revolution against tsarist has brought a lot of positive foundation from which Russian could arguably have builded upon after the war, if not for Gorbachev.

I'm not gonna go to much into any hypothetical but what Lenin created had a real and positive influence in the rest of Europe at least.

At the worst end of the spectrum Iran really had nothing left to build upon, the situation there is catastrophic on all front. So if not for the US the country isn't gonna stand on its legs any time soon.

I think the evolution of the end of a system, even through those three exemple, can go into so many different path. It's hard to really predict anything, especially without taking into account all the parameters and context.

Dialectic can never be a science, you can't apply the same methodology. Even when it's material.

However it is philosophy, and if your searching for some material reality then it's ontology.

Science too is a product of ontology, it's a methodology created for this exact purpose and wich can be studied in this field.

Saying physical properties are social abstractions sounds to me like social constructivism, which is epistemology, again philosophy.

Social sciences can be soft science precisely when they are not dialectic and rely on the methodology of science.

And to be clear, soft science is just a science that is based on a hard science, in which we don't have enough work done to explain every emergent properties using fundamental properties of matter.

Psychoanalysis is an outdated philosophical theory, so indeed just a scam now.

It's ok you can be named Karen and not be a Karen. Same for Chad or Dick/Dickson.

Words can have multiple meanings, and so do names.

The context of a sentence usually is enough to distinguish, hence no one meant your mom isn't nice just because we use her name as a insult for other people.

Nowhere, not American is a foreign concept to them.

I love that linear extrapolation you know is only there to lie even more on a graph that's already a baseless correlation.

This is a fucking differential equation with unknown constants, so yeah, everyone will be burning...

Europe had it's borders defined by wars for millennia. So i guess it's only fitting we decided the borders, and that it lead to more war.

Food gives you energy after your body process it.

If you want quick energy take a sugary snack, but don't expect it to last.

If you want energy for the day take a full meal, but then you need some chilling time for your body to digest.

Such are the trades of life my friend.

P.S. That cat has the purrfect expression though.

In France after high school you pay 170€ the first 3 years the 243€ the next two, 100€ more each year if you don't have aides from the government. Some engineering schools (~600€) or private schools are more expensive.

That's a total of 1496€ for a 5y curriculum at most, if you don't have any aides. (810€ for a shorter 3y one)

For reference the monthly minimum wage is 1398.69€ (without tax).

So if you work two months at McDonald's you can literally pay your entire education with enough room to spare if you didn't pass some years.

(Engineering schools is more but it isn't crazy either)

That's without any help, but we have some cheap apartment specifically for students, help to pay the rent. And in addition to this you can get a sizable amount depending on the income of the parents, sometimes enough to live on.

So why in the hell would you pay 50k. That's 33 times as much, guys just come to France, or the EU and your set lol
