This worldview enables me to determine how I should act in any given scenario, what I should do and what I should not do.

Peak materialism.

I don't like that

Should someone with down syndrome reproduce?

@εïз irma εïз I don't think you understand what materialism means

Irma has an extremely high IQ

No, I don't think that you do.

Just wait until you witness it

Materialism doesn't just mean "I like stuff".

You are reducing existence to the aspect of material reality.

Materialism is a form of philosophical monism which holds that matter is the fundamental substance in nature, and that all things, including mental aspects and consciousness, are results of material interactions.

That's exactly what you're doing.

So quite literally I am not a materialist according to this definition because I don't believe that all things, including mental aspects and consciousness, are results of material interactions.

Believing that human existence is reduced to our impetus for reproduction is very much a materialist position.

No it isn't. I am a dualist. You don't understand materialism

Materialism is a broad philosophy and this is actually one of the most common viewpoints of materialists.

Again I literally don't believe that all things are reducible to matter

@εïз irma εïз It's one of the cornerstones of Levayan Satanism

But you are reducing our existence to perpetuation of genes.

That's materialist as fuck.

*laveyan

lol see I knew you didn't get it

you're conflating two things that aren't the same

You can either better explain your position or condescend from an ivory tower.

Materialism isn't a moral system

But everything you've said is materialist.

Do you know what the 3 views on matter and mind are

Moral systems can be based on utilitarian materialism, which is exactly what you're describing.

Everything we do is for the purpose of spreading our genes -> only what does this is considered moral

This is utilitarian materialism.

I have a correction to make:
Earlier I said "I am an idealist."
That was a mistake. I am not an idealist, I am a dualist.

That might be the source of the confusion.

You explained your position and I firmly believe it's materialist.

I'm not getting tied up in what you call yourself.

Do we agree that materialism is a term with a standard definition

You gave me the definition of materialism, which is a broad philosophy. I agree with the definition you gave, and firmly believe it applies here.

Okay, excellent.

You're reducing human existence to the material, aka, the spread of genes.

I do not believe that matter is the fundamental substance in nature, and that all things, including mental aspects and consciousness, are results of material interactions.

I believe that matter is ONE fundamental substance in nature along with the imaterial

So you may not be a materialist but what you're articulating is a firmly materialist position.
