/sci/ should be better than this. Either way, idealists are magical thinkers. Not because someone said I'm right, but because they have no evidence.

Oh yeah thats the guy with the giant ego who used his own face as his signature, because he though he was great. What was his name again??
Oh wait, no one remembers him except psueds. I forgot that fact.

Maybe OP had this image in mind, nevertheless disinterest in philosophy has nothing to do with 'materialism', as materialism itself is a philosophical position, with a majority of today's academic philosophers probably being committed to it. On the other hand, Dirac's approach to physics had very little to do with materialism, and was somewhat neo-Pythagorean. I don't know about other physicists enumerated there, though.

He did not. It was Engels who drew this impression of him, before he proceeded to write a critique of that man's whole book, which was larger than the book, and he did it with Marx's help, no less.

If you spout materialism, you're immediately outing yourself as a retard. I'm serious. Same with dualism. I'll only consider you a semi-competent if you have at the very least an idealistic position. And not the solipsism kind.

Materialist reality is literally the only thing we can explore in a non-masturbatory and solipsistic fashion you retard.

I understand pragmatism, but it's false. Pragmatism based on ignoring the obvious is obviously false. It's not just what's in front of you that counts, but also the glass that you wear that matters. An astronomer can't make sense of cosmos without understanding telescopes. You need to be able to tune the telescope and understand lens. And people can't make sense of reality without understanding the lens that which we look at reality. If we take the blind for their view of reality, it makes no sense. We know the problem is there and ignoring it doesn't give you anything. Further anyone claiming there's no consciousness is a retard as is anyone claiming telescopes don't exist.
