On youtube, there seem to be few videos that explain dialectical materialism in a way children and liberals can understand. How do you explain dialectical thinking to someone in a very popular way?

    I always start with “what makes a thing itself?”

    A bowl is a bowl because you eat out of jt, a shoe is a shoe because you put in on your foot, ect.

    And if what gives meaning to a thing is its relationship to other things, what kind of relationships do we live in? Why do we live in these relationships, and how does it change us?
