You realize materialism is dualistic

[RMQualtrough]

That is why they think death is infinite nothing black or whatever, because deep down it's a completely dualistic framework through which to view the world: The idea that there is a you/your mind, and a world which exists on some other level of reality... That would be, the "subjective" world and the "objective" one.

Which causes these people to believe in the continuation of the world but cessation of qualitative elements.

Because they don't see, the building blocks of reality are not Gods or atoms, the Lego blocks out of which reality is created are appearances (qualia, perception)... For reality to continue, appearance must continue, because appearance is what existence essentially is.

Taking the living being out of the equation does not stop appearance.

Spiritual people and materialist people have the same view but opposite of the spectrum: Spiritual people think they die and, like, their little consciousness bubble pops and they go back to infinity or something like this. They think they go somewhere, but unlike atheists their thinking is that they go back to some God thing or time goes loopy and the universe ends, and various other ideas spawning from the notion. In constrast materialists believe consciousness ceases instead, while the world continues to be, as something other than sheer existent appearances.

Just as there isn't actually any you to burst or go back to God or become God or be infinite, there isn't a secret world beyond what appears. Regardless of the repeated success of any test (which is btw a separate thing entirely)... And the very appearances materialist-focused people think are reliant upon an observer, hence the belief of eternal black when the observer dies, also do not go anywhere.

Materialist is not a position which makes sense in a non-dualistic context. As they would need to describe qualia (which is existent) as material, and then if material it should follow that it can exist without any living beings just as any OTHER material they discuss can. But they don't believe that.

The living being only being assumed out of appearance, of course
