Literally see next sentence. Please by glasses nigga!

Incorrect. I'm the one embracing reality while you seem to enjoy fairy tales. Grow out of it nigga!

That's ridiculous. We can infer big bang, and some things, such as the nature of the universe, or why laws are as they are, are meaningless questions and spooks of language.
Grow up and live with the fact that not all questions have answers, and many questions are meaningless.

If the material does not exist, you'll be fine.

Of course it can. Not only that, it can be falsified too! Show me the matrix, the brain in a vat, the other dimension, the demon, or what not, and I'll happily admit I was wrong.
As it is, there's plenty of empirical and repeatable evidence that the world exists.
One experiment you can try is to bash your head in with a rock.

If you don't publish, I cannot take you seriously. If you publish, if it is peer reviewed, replicated, then we're in business. if not, please don't talk. It is just waste of time.

constructive empiricism solves this problem beautifully.
But now I'm getting tired of your ad hominems and insults. You are clearly the nigger here!

Have a look at instrumentalism. Quarks is just our language way of talking about numbers. It is a way to express our models of the world.
You can also look at constructie empiricism as well.
Phlogiston also existed, according to science, until it didn't. instrumentalism and/or

we can safely disregard it until evidence is presented.

I have not made any positive claims beyond the empirically proven facts of science.
There was someone ravings about ghosts and demons, maybe it wasn't you, and those threads are lost in time like tears in rain.
if something exists without any evidence, or especially, without being part of the physical world,

This seems to be similar to James arguments, and I've successfully countered them, so won't do it again.
No, an hypothesis is not the same thing as a story. The bible is not a hypothesis. As for whta science is or is not doing right now, has nothing to do with the argument or question at hand.

chance, that I will be persuaded to accept anything besides physicalism, and believe me, 100s if not 1000s of people have tried, so I no longer see any new arguments (and not in this thread either, it is just the same boring flawed arguments).

I very much like your kindness and empathy, so if, and only if, you are interested, I will share my private email with you (if so, send me a private message), and I will explain my position in depth. Mastodon is a horrible medium for this. I would be interested inr your view of the world, but there is close to zero

violence to ones rational self. As a species, and homo sapiens, we should know beter by know. Many do know better, but many don't and I will continue to educate them.
When it comes to ethics and morals, that is handled absolutely fine by philosophy. But this question was about the world and what exists in it.

"I never experienced things like it again." I think this is key here. As for religion, it has value as a psychological comfort blanket. But it has nothing to do with world.
All evidence we have has taught us that there is nothing supernatural, no gods, no demons, so insisting on these things is literally doing
