On being an aesthetic materialist
What is that supposed to mean?
Materialism asserts the primacy of the material world,
matter precedes thought
thought is a reflection of the material world.
Following on from that:
it means that my beliefs are as follows - although I will grant you that my beliefs are theories

Following on from that:
it means that my beliefs are as follows - although I will grant you that my beliefs are theories
- I believe the universe is material
- that there is no non-material reality
- that the universe had no creator and has no objective meaning or destiny,
- that belief in spirits and gods are delusions,
- that churches have no real use except to provide social support,
- hat values arise from biological determinants
- that consciousness is a purely physical process althought I grant you that is very much a theory
- and that there is no afterlife.
In the end all sensations, feelings, emotions, are just atoms discharging against each other
- So there! Aren't I a one?
