Yes. Dialectics layered on dialectics layered on dialectics.
Increasingly more complex ecosystems of dialectics over time.
The problem I forsee with the future of machine learning is that it's easy to create one dialectic. It's easy to create 2 or even 100... But at a certain point you reach "ok, so what dialectic do we add now?".
We do not have an accurate model of all the dialectics that exist in our biological world. How are we supposed to recreate the conditions that create the same kind of intelligence we have if we can't create the same dialectics that formed it? If we miss some parts out it will not create the same kind of intelligence, it may not have the same morals or the same fundamental beliefs as we do because the environment that shapes it won't be the same environment.
The creation of human-like artificial intelligence will require the recreation of conditions that gave rise to human evolution.
This brings me back to that techbro theory that we might be living in a simulation. If we aim to create artificial intelligence like us then we would end up creating a simulation that looks like our environment.
