materialism

Stranger: Well, how do you feel about materialism?
You: I'm probably a materialist
You: Although, I recall a simple exercise done in a gen-philo course which seemed to justify immaterialism
You: What are your thoughts?
Stranger: let's hear it
Stranger: I think materialism is very convincing, though in the end it might be an abstraction
You: I'd have to search for the notebook, but it involved the alphabet
Stranger: ah ok
Stranger: I've been getting more into the work of Deleuze and Guattari
Stranger: They set out a very convincing materialist metaphysics

Tea

Stranger: Cinnamomum verum, milk, Drops of Honey etc. the usual. People always put in too much - it's crucial to let it brew for 8-10 minutes.
