The equivocation over the term immaterial is more than likely unintentional, judging by the examples offered of immaterial things. Set that against the false dichotomy presented earlier, in that the arguer believes that one of two things must be true; that mind creates matter, or matter creates mind. It's clear that he's attempting to mount an argument against materialism, and feels that references to things like gravity are demonstrative.
We're getting a canned procedural, but the presenter has butchered it, notably by not realizing that gravity is -included- in materialism, and that the sort of immateriality he is referring to is colloquial, while the inferences he wishes to draw refer instead to philosophical immateriality.
