I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or serious. Beyond that, idk who they are portraying on the left. I’d appreciate some help clearing this up.

Like, um light is still made out of particles??? We can measure and detect wavelengths through photos like x-rays, and telescopes. I’m super confused on how this is a serious criticism on materialism.

    Yeah, ideas are material in that they’re caused by firing neurons in the brain that we can study. Who’s to say in the future that we won’t be able to literally extract ideas from peoples’ heads and put 'em in flash drives?

    If they have a point and it isn’t just light hearted roasting, it’s a dumb one. If it is a joke I like this one better

      I feel like materialism really isn’t that complicated or obtuse of an idea and Stalin does a good job at explaining it very intuitively. Ideas come from BRAINS, not some abstract non-material source.

      I mean, name an idea that didn’t come from a brain… I’ll wait.
