Materialism is not about what exists or what has matter, its the vision of the world that believes that all things are the RESULT of material phenomenon.
Yeah and I already debunked that when you said "abstract concepts result from material processes", for a concept is conceptual and matter is material, so matter cannot account for conception or concepts as a category of thing
 
Thoughts aren't created from nothing

Thoughts are generated by the intellect or mind, which is a distinct faculty from the senses and imagination
Go on, go on... you are almost there..



And where does the intellect, the mind, your senses or imagination are coming from ?

Wrong image mate, sorry I had to make a rectification.

Here is the eternal Moon Queen:


 
And where does the intellect, the mind, your senses or imagination are coming from ?
Senses = bodily
Imagination = information gathered from the senses, dwells within the memory

Intellect/Mind = Immaterial faculty not found in the body whatsoever; the mind is immaterial.

Humans are hylomorphic, composed of matter and form

The intellect is pure form, the body including the memory and senses are matter + form
 
The mind, being distinct from the imagination and senses, is what allows it to interpret the imagination & senses to begin with

Think, for example, of words written in chalk on a whiteboard. There is the words, which are inherently just scribbles composed of chalk, then there is an immaterial mind which ascribes & interprets meaning to said chalk scribbles, making them words.

I'm intensely aware of your denial of reason, making everything meaningless and how that affects your politics lol

The mind can't develop with sensorial deprivation .
