Get the materialism mug.Devotion to material wealth (tangible objects) It is also a philosophy that states that all things, will eventually be explained by physical properties. Most Westerners are materialists. Which means they are bastards who crave material wealth and will go to no end to get more. See Capitalism Materialism will be the downfall of society.

Get the Materialism mug.the preoccupation with possessions, and caring more about things instead of people and what's more important in life. Materialsim distracts people from what's really important in life. Therefore, the pursuit of materialism is an empty, wasted life because those things are inanimate objects that dont comfort you or talk to you; they are just as mortal as we.
Materialism is a form of greed that distracts people from what's really important in life, and can make a person very lonely and unhappy.

Get the materialism mug.The Marxian interpretation of reality that views matter as the sole subject of change and all change as the product of a constant conflict between opposites arising from the internal contradictions inherent in all events, ideas, and movements.
The dialectic materialism between Bob and Alice, as manifested in their respective adherence to quintessential gender roles, became indisputably resolved as Bob skeeted all up on her face.

Posits linear time, material reality, and history as illusions or antitheses of Nietzsche's nihilism.

The synthesis of Karl Marx's dialectical materialism
Synthetic materialism argues that there is no history and by extension that there is no material reality.
Rather than material reality creating the illusion of a past, synthetic materialism argues that the past creates the illusion of material reality

Get the synthetic materialism mug.Quantum Materialism is a materialistic philosophy that seeks to adapt materialism into quantum mechanics, quantum materialism advocated the whole matter is universe is based on quantum mechanics, where it is possible of quantum mechanics to have influence in the whole universe and existence, even in a small level where modern science cannot realize, having the need of deep and advanced studies and devices for prove that quantum mechanics have influence at macro level and that the whole universe can work at superquantum level.
"Quantum materialism advocates that the conscience exists at the sub-atomic level, where the atoms of the person are its conscience, where when a person dies, his atoms returns to the nature and might reincarnate as a human or as any living being again, but it needs a massive and advanced quantum studies and devices for prove it."
"Quantum materialism advocates that superquantum mechanics is actually a thing, but humans and its current devices cannot realize it, needing the creation of advanced devices for turn this studies possible and the creation of technologies for possibility people use superquantum mechanics for improve human condition and for evolve humans."
"Quantum materialism is friends with extraphysical materialism, advocating extraphysical materialism is just an advanced stage of materialism and might be a complement of quantum materialism."

Get the Quantum Materialism mug.Extraphysical Materialism is a materialist current that advocates that extraphysics are the base of the whole universe and of the whole existence. Extraphysical materialism advocates quantum mechanics are a form of extraphysics, where quantum materialism is actually part of extraphysical materialism. Extraphysical materialism advocates it is necessary massive investments and studies on quantum mechanics and extraphysical mechanics for prove if quantum materialism and extraphysical materialism are correct or not or are falseable. Extraphysical materialism also advocates extraphysics can influence the physical level such as quantum mechanics can influence the macro level.
"Extraphysical Materialism is an uncommon form of materialism, but still, really interesting such as quantum materialism."
"Extraphysical materialism advocates conscience exists at extraphysical level and it only uses physical level for its manifestation, where the conscience might exist inside and united with the atoms of someone, uniting extraphysical materialism with quantum materialism."
"Extraphysical materialism shows how can quantum mechanics be considered as part of extraphysics, proving that the physical level is also part of extraphysical level, creating an interesting connection between natural and extranatural."
