    Besides what the other user said, this doesn’t really change my comment at all. The inner workings of reality don’t matter when you’re cold or hungry or when your bodily autonomy is violated. These problems are material, and so are the solutions.

      The inner workings of reality don’t matter when…

      I’ve already granted the justifiability of materialism on practical grounds. In other words, it is a useful assumption.

      These problems are material…

      This is begging the question against the anti-materialist.
