[MD] Dawkins a Materialist (is watching?)

[David M]

Case

We experience lots os stuff that does
not fall into the potentially sharable actuality
of space-time, stuff we can't point at. Imagination
explores these possible but not actual worlds/aspects
of experience, and some of this stuff can be
taken from the possible and made actual.
What else do we do when we design and make
something, a boat or an opera, new concepts, ideas,
stories, values, sensibilities, emotions.

And I guess mystical
experience can be about new ways to experience the
actual but also sometimes pulls entirely new stuff into
experience and perhaps actuality.
See what I mean.
