The point is not “could someone get benefit from this” it’s that there are better heuristics to use and using old ones means you’re operating on old software

By that standard literally anything is valuable even as just an example of what not to do so it’s a meaningless measurement

You’re making a lot of pronouncements that are arbitrary to you

It’s a rare condition called having an educated and informed opinion

I don’t want to punch down, but that comes across a lot like trump saying he has the biggest words.

You may not have the time or inclination, but there is a lot to learn from studying Hegel and the history of philosophy. No ‘measurement’ is required.

That was never a question.

There are structural limits to the Hegelian Dialectic being used as a universal epistemology

Marxism and other non-numerically based epistemology traditions refuse to accept this

The majority of people aren’t even as deep as hegel and yet even the hegelians still think they have a universal epistemology

when they have a keplerian version at best that hasn’t even heard of subatomic particles
