the biggest trap of the atheistic material mindset is the dismissing of the intangible.

the mind is a pattern, not a thing. a computer program is a pattern that interacts with a mechanism.

the program is intangible. ideas are intangible. the cost of replicating approaches zero as we continue to advance computer networking techhnology. what took a few watts to send in the days of telegrams barely spends as many electrons as there is bits in the message, to any point on the planet now.

the fact of computers and the intangible things that cause them to do things spits in the face of materialism, but the demons who want you to be their life slaves and eventual food, consuming the intangible things that your life generated, also want you to not be aware of the material and tangible effects of the intangible.

many models of how the intangible intersects with the tangible are nonsense, but you can't dismiss the impact of the intangible on the material world. there is many, vital, intrinsic and fundamental ways in which the intangible is at the centre of everything in our lives.

sure, the intangibles can be transcribed to recording media, but they don't start there, do they? they come from nowhere physical, and everywhere, at the same time. they don't exist in the boundaries of time or space, either, they can even define the boundaries of time and space themselves.

there can be nothing without the intangible.

anyone who wants you to believe it doesn't exist or doesn't matter is trying to steal the intangible value, attached to you, from you.
