The Fall of Materialism

Mission was to discourage the airing of historical embarrassments by pouring scorn on those who aired them — floggers of dead horses.
 
I wonder after the author has fini telling us how physicalism is falling they'll reveal the ultimate truth.
 
People do note that she said she's going to criticize physicalism in the next video?

"Today philosophical physicalism, the view that all that exists in reality is ultimately physical, has replaced materialism as the leading philosophical world view held within mainstream Western science. So I will cover physicalism in detail in the next video."

I'm not actually against the airing of the video. It's no skin off my teeth if anti-materialists (and presumably anti-physicalists, as well) want to make themselves look dumb by making fuss about stuff we've known about for a hundred years already. :)

It takes a longtime if ever for philosophers to catch up.
 
She better finish with an -ism that has all the answers or I'll want my money back.

Why? There's no reason one can't show weaknesses in a paradigm while lacking a replacement. In fact that would be the heart of true skepticism IMO.
