>>11074388Yeah when you think about it material at its base level is just an abstraction like a mathematical construct (which doesn't really require anything to "exist", abstractly). Electrons, protons, quarks etc. don't feel, smell, look like or taste like anything. Only macro-level objects do - and that's only when observed by conscious beings.
In practice however giving a lot of primacy to the mind seems to lead to more mumbo-jumbo than anything useful.
