I see this term a lot, people saying "that's just vulgar materialism!" I haven't seen an explanation of what it is yet.

    i might be dumb (philosopher) but i see it as the difference between claiming that consciousness is entirely nonexistent (techbro death cultist 'meat computer' shit) vs. claiming that consciousness is in a dialectical relationship with physical reality (whereas Idealism claims that physical reality is entirely nonexistent and 'vulgar materialism' claims that consciousness is entirely nonexistent)
