materialism is the world view that all
reality can be reduced to physicality
and that is the popular and widely held
assumption of most intelligent people to
death and if you speak about any reality
beyond what can be reduced to physical
matter you are already regarded with
suspicion well how do you explain things
like emotion love what will they tell
you that's also a reduction they can
reduce that to physical phenomena as
well what other tell you what about
Muffit what about the love I have for my
family but how do you account for that
you explain it wouldn't you tell me
chemical reactions electric signals
firing in your brain everything is a
reduction your consciousness there's no
such thing as consciousness from their
point of view it's all just biological
no physiological just bodily stuff going
on you sing to your conscious which is
so absurd because in reality
consciousness did not arise from the
material universal if they think right
exactly the right combination of
chemicals evolved in the brain to create
controllers but the reality is that
consciousness did not emerge from
material universe we know the obvious of

consciousness a chance consciousness the
