    People’s environment can INFLUENCE their ideas, sure, but it doesn’t DICTATE them regardless of all other factors.

    And fyi sometimes Brians DO secrete, but they’ll thank you not to draw attention to their embarrassing medical issue.

          So you’re ultimately uninterested in arguing anything meaningful and just want to loudly and proudly flip the table, got it.

            Nah, I’ve just realized that there’s no talking you out of your delusion, so I might as well have a little fun with it 🤷

                That all ideas stem from material conditions and no material conditions are the result of ideas.

                  All ideas stem from material conditions, but just as matter shapes humans, humans reshape matter, which reshape humans who repeat the process.

                  That’s the driving force of history.

                  It’s absurd to think that ideas change matter without material changes.

                    You’re FAR too fixated on matter. How old are you again? Did you recently read philosophy for the first time and it just so happened to be of a materialist nature? Because you’re very much giving off that “child repeating things they don’t understand” vibe.

                    That’s the driving force of history.

                    Nope. It’s MUCH more varied and complex than just people interacting with matter.

                    It’s absurd to think that ideas change matter without material changes.

                    Not anymore absurd than your extreme oversimplification of the concepts of knowledge and opinion.
