Material Dogmatism

To support the pod please check out my social media pages! Facebook - Instagram - Twitter - Show Home Page - Patreon Materialism; the doctrine that nothing exists except matter and its movements and modifications, is unfounded. Marx got it wrong, religion isn't the opiate of the masses, materialism is. It's subtle reassurance that "everything is knowable" perpetuates a kind of psychosis that has not only infected our educational, economic and political institutions but our religious ones as well.
