I got a tough one for you. Are dialectics eternal? (lemmygrad.ml)

Rephrased, will dialectics always exist?

Have fun, because I sure don't.

edit: if it helps your thinking process a bit, consider this:

Dialectics explains the process of contradictions. So, does dialectics go through its own contradictions?
If so, that means dialectics has a process of its own and describes its own process as well. It's a bit like the "does a set of all sets contain itself" question.
But if the laws of dialectics are eternal and dialectics does not go through its own process and contradictions, then it would be eternal. Is that possible though?
And finally of course what are the implications of all of that?

Personally I go a step further than “ideas is just matter interaction” and say that everything that exists in the natural world (the one we live in) is by definition material, otherwise it literally could not exist.

Agree, as i see it everything is matter at different stages of development. Consciousness being a highly developed stage of matter.
