Care to say more about what you think makes you a non materialist? I mean, you can call yourself whatever you like but can you break that down for me?
I don't think there is anyone here who doesn't think subjective experience as such isn't real but it certainly seems to be highly associated with the activity of my very material brain. The phenomenology of the experience isn't reducible to the materiality of my brain but the two certainly do seem linked. That doesn't mean the subjective is reducible to the material but if you want to argue it is entirely independent .. good luck.
