[lbo-talk] Materialism is a form of idealism

[mart]

the idea that matter is an idea has reasonable support, by a polish physicist (who i googled, and found out was running for office on the far right family values party, which might fit in with lbo depending on your definition of right).    its a paper by him in physics essays (a sortuh fringe journal) and starts with an axiomatic formulation of Bishiop berkely's idealism (that there is nothing but what is in your mind) and from that deduces quantum theory  (which materialists would hold describes matter).  so, matter is one logicaL conseuqence of basic ideas axioms.
