Occams Hatchet and Is Materialism "Special"

[The Grand Nudger]

I've already told you that I don't feel like indulging you.  You and I both know the material explanation for both sound and music.  We learned it as children.  Why not proceded directly to whatever it is you'll pivot to after that tiresome and pointless discussion played itself out?  That's what you want to talk about...whatever it is, and I'm not big on foreplay.

I don't need a scholarly essay, just an executive summary of your version of materialism. How you would deal with the ontological status of a song might guide me to better understand the context for your statements. You are under no obligation to explain yourself unless of course it is your intention to communicate your ideas as clearly as possible.

This would be so much clearer, if you would just state whatever it is about you're hoping music can segue into.   Asking me what music is made out of, from a materialists pov, is as inexplicable as asking me what a wooden chair is made out of.  Music is made out of sound...a wooden chair is made out of wood. You don't care, though....you already know that, that;s not what you're fishing for, and neither of us is foolish enough to keep pretending otherwise, right?
