This is a reissue of Episode 7, while Jack recovers for the birth of his first child last week. Bernardo Kastrup's work has been leading the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental. He has a Ph.D. in philosophy (ontology, philosophy of mind) and another Ph.D. in computer engineering (reconfigurable computing, artificial intelligence). As a scientist, Bernardo has worked for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Philips Research Laboratories (where the 'Casimir Effect' of Quantum Field Theory was discovered). Formulated in detail in many academic papers and books, his ideas have been featured on 'Scientific American,' the 'Institute of Art and Ideas,' the 'Blog of the American Philosophical Association' and 'Big Think,' among others.

THE PRISON OF MATERIALISM
VERSE 
Fm 
It's stitched into the sitcoms 
It's sewn into the news 
Bfm 
Twisted in the movies 
It underwrites your views
It underwrites your views 
Fm 
Pumped in by the television 
Reinforced in school 
Bfm 
Seeps into your every hole,  
But your nobody's fool? 

BRIDGE 
Cm 
It permeates and advocates 
Corroborates we're separates 

Bfm 
Venerates-our-physical-traits-while-vindicating-violent-states 

Cm 
Perpetuates subordinates 
Implicates we're primates 

Culminates in selfish hate 
That enumerates & exterminates 

CHORUS 
Bfm 
Oh no, they’re selling you a prison 
Cm 
Don’t buy the lie of materialism 

VERSE 
It’s been cunningly conceived  
And slyly concealed 
Dripped into your consciousness 
Now it has congealed 

You're just purely physical 
You're a piece of meat 
Who cares if I beat you 
Or emotionally mistreat you 

BRIDGE 
Soul starvation, strangulation 
Spiritual castration 

Secularize-sexualise-glamourise-with-vacant-lies 
Temptation and gratification 
Physical adoration 

Sedation of civilization 
Societal transmogrification 

CHORUS 

VERSE 
They're happy you're confused 
They feed upon your fear 
Suck up all your feelings 
They’re always very near 

You’re one of the little pawns 
Putty in their hands 
Moving in formation 
As they whisper their commands 

BRIDGE 
Preaching the dualities 
Physical realities 

With-distorted-moralities-for-limited-mentalities 

Contorted tonalities 
Temporal modalities 
Separate nationalities 
For global criminalities 
CHORUS
