So I can make up stories about how I understood the nature of the universe while staring at a plant. And by this I mean posting Hegel quotes.

Like dude, the bud disappears when the blossom breaks through man, and we might say that the former is totally refuted by the latter; in the same way when the like fruit comes, the blossom may be explained to be a false form of the plant’s existence man, for the fruit appears as its true nature in place of the blossom. Wild shit right? These stages are not merely differentiated man; they supplant one another as being incompatible with one another. But the ceaseless activity of their own inherent nature makes them like at the same time moments of an organic unity, where they not merely do not contradict one another, but where one is as necessary as the other man; and this equal necessity of all moments constitutes alone and thereby the life of the whole. But contradiction as between philosophical systems is not wont to be conceived in this way; on the other hand, the mind perceiving the contradiction does not commonly know how to relieve it or keep it free from its one-sidedness, and to recognise in what seems conflicting and inherently antagonistic the presence of mutually necessary moments. Right?

spoilerJokes aside, a good description of dialectics. Read theory my dudes. It'll blow your mind!
