I'm trying to figure out whether our ideas are a part of the material condition. For lack of venues to express or share ideas outside of text and thought does simply thinking something somehow connect it to the material reality? And what reality is that? Is material reality subject to change through individuals understanding of the material world around us? Are the expression of our ideas directly linked to our limited social connections and access to capital? That seems too cut and dry for me. Even in the form of text, different educations, minor life experiences can help undermined the pure expression of ideas. There are limits to expressing our ideas outside of ourselves. Limits through the different mediums-cultural limits. Whether its someone who cant write trying to express themselves through the pen- or an engineer limited by what his workforce is willing to do there cannot be a pure expression of our ideas. And if the pure expression of idea cannot be realized then to say that ideas are a part of the material condition seemed skewed. The idea of everything around us seems a little off...for me it defiantly feels like it is...
