Which one is right Veeky Forums?
Both are wrong
Even though anything in the world might have a material basis, this does not mean these things are JUST matter. That's because the ultimate point of reference of the universe (at least when talking about what matters) is the individual. Not the 'dead' matter. Everything the individual experiences is real, and value is assigned to the world by the individual.
JUST matter?
So how is Mickey wrong?
I don't know, but it's not really relevant.
Because I do think the scientific method is viable enough to show us that the material substructure of our brain exists of chemicals. But the fact that they are chemicals does not mean that the emotions they might form are valueless. If we assign value to them they have value.
The latter doesn't disprove or discredit the former and is, basically, irrelevant to the first statement.

Why can't they both be right?
But user, nothing is real and nothing is the same from one moment to the next and everyone has a different perception/experience with each individual object of matter. It is always in flux. Nothing is real.
