Material dialectics is just a Marxist concept that basically means "a chain reaction of cause and effect."

Or you can pretend like people who put effort into understanding something are dumb, actually.

That is not what material dialectics is. You can analytically treat "chain reactions of cause and effect" without any reference to the components of a dialcetical process, and I do this constantly in mathematical modelling.

No, that is not what "not dialectical" means. You're thinking "myopic". You can be dialectical and myopic as well as being non-dialectical and non-myopic.
put effort into understanding
As I say to my students, the effort is great, but it's only half the battle!
Fuck now I'm mad.
