      • Doubt I will bother fleshing this out and posting, its not even that interesting.
    • Supernaturalism is simply right out for me. I had those tendencies drummed out of me by my nerdy nerd nerd nerd background. (what is going on)
    • Materialism just doesn't appeal to me like it once did. The involvement of its leading proponents in Epstein scandals has something to do with that. Minsky of course but also Pinker, Dennett, Dawkins, and many others.
    • While materialism in theory should be ethically neutral, simply a description of the way things are, it seems to morph into bad behavior (see above) or bad ideology (TESCREAL).
    • Computational materialism seemed to solve some of the mysteries of the interplay between mind and matter...cybernetics too was kind of ethically neutral and its spinoff artificial intelligence even more so.
