   Proof?   
   "It is fair to ask how we can know what is the true nature of reality.   
   Immaterialism will win the metaphysical contest largely be default. The   
   incoherence of materialism and dualism will make those views relatively   
   unacceptable. There is a coherence to    
   materialism, but it is a coherence that is abstract and theoretical that can   
   hardly be sustained outside the lecture hall. Its conceptual rigidity make is   
   vulnerable to even the slightest incursions of what may be wild or weird in   
   the world.   
      
   The original novelty and shock value of materialism has long since worn off.   
   Our minds now easily wander past its very narrow confines. Ironically it is   
   the psychological and even spiritual allures of virtual reality and cyberspace   
   that can be seen as    
   the last hurrah of materialism. Technology has sewn the seeds of its own   
   transcendence, just as it was destined to do.   
      
   It is not the abstract proofs which will carry the day.   
      
       
      
   At the end of the day, it is our spirits that will lead us to our next   
   challenges, guide us to our next high frontiers. "
