Idealism is when you think that the world is determined by ideas, materialism is when you think that the world is determined by material. Facts don't care about your feelings! :gun-shapiro:

    It doesn't work at all IMO, it misses the point just as much as any other physicalist framework.

            On a purely pragmatic level? Sure it probably works perfectly fine. On a philosophical level you're missing a whole lot though.

                On a philosophical level it is entirely untenable. Maybe "brainworms" was an exaggeration, but I have seen a lot of neuroscientist hot takes regarding the topic that make just about zero sense.

                    I think we're comparing apples to oranges here. I'm talking about ontology, not concrete methods of analyzing behavior or psychology.
