Quote:whateverist............Newsflash it isn't actually possible to escape the real reality. You're still here. You're just acting and speaking in a peculiar way.
The redneck of materialism never get it or at least they get the message only after they loose the fight.
It remind me when i was driving taxis in Sydney.
In the 70 and 80 people could smoke almost anywhere and to keep smokers off my cab was a real struggle.
People thought that there was nothing wrong with smoking anywhere they like.
The law was absent as it would be a political suicide to ban smoke in public places considering the number of smokers. It took many more years of struggle to convince the politician to change the law.
Now these redneck changed their way and are very careful before they light up in public places.
The same redneck of materialism are today ridicule those who say that the material-physical dimension is the most primitive form of life.
In this case the politician can not do anything and rightly so.
What will trigger a change will be the same occurrence that cause the collapse of the materialistic culture, from the communist system to now the almost defunct capitalist system.
Is not only an economic collapse is also a moral collapse.
When the bottom is reached people tend to come up to the surface and usually they change their mind and way of doing things that is why i am sure that the rednecks of materialism will wake up and grow up.
