What's your obsession with framing materialism as something positive?
Imagine entering a large hangar filled with columns of big boxes.
It's dark and you only have a lamp to move. There are monsters hidding in the shadows.
A bit like that:
In such an environment, it's hard to see and understand your surroundings. There may be monster in shadows, it's hard to understand the path or the structure of the entire thing and what you need to do to arrive to destination.
Well..
When you use Materialism, it's like someone turned on the lights and made space for you.
The system becomes much more easier to understand in its globality. You will still need to fight the monsters hidding in the system, but you will see them, know who they are and know where they come from.
Materialism allows us to understand the world. From the Quanta to possible multiverses and from your relationship with your family, to the entire structures of societies on earth.
I'm not joking when I say that being a materialist is form of enlightenment. Everything becomes clearer, the monsters become humans, the path become simpler, the structures of society become more interesting
and the world becomes a surprising wonder instead of a chaotic dark hangar.
And most of all, materialism shows us that there is something to fight for. A form of society that most people can't even dream of. Materialism allows us to materialize utopia. To make it real, tangible and atteignable.
It's the philosophy that shows us that the dream of Piece is not impossible to realize.
It's light in darkness.
