As a marxist I think it is important to study Aristotle's theory of dialectic and it is incredible that Mr. Hamid not said a word about this theory which is presented by Aristotle in the Topics and Sophistical refutation, also in the Nicamakean ethics Book VII. It is much to learn from this method which is lost by most so-called "Marxist", but not by Marx and Engels!.

Aristotle was not a Makedonian, but his father worked there ... He was a greek from the city of Stageira, in Thrakia, east of Makedonia.

Today we have technology to observe matter but yet idealism is strong...we can observe Earth but there are flat earthers...can philosophy ignore science or can it be submitted by scientific facts?

Philosophy must adopt methodological naturalism

Interesting speech but he mix Anaxagoras and Anaximander, the latter lived first.

The subject matter is interesting but he really needs to get a script to read off of

the lead offs are primarily set up for mastery of the ideas, to know them so thoroughly that you could explain them on the street without assistance. It means lead offs always have a bit of a raw quality, but that mastery of the material becomes a quintessential part of the speakers repatoir
