But is it? If primary belief (your belief in where the buck stops) were
vulnerable to correction then why has Christianity for example, persevered so
long without revision or updating of beliefs when say, knowledge of the
universe progressed. First impressions seem to count for a lot in forming the
patterns of recognition the brain uses. A powerful primary belief in matter
seems to be a very difficult thing to have some people admit to.
You write that as though it's a fault - which reflects the degree to which it is dogman on
this is piece of the internet. A little reflection might tell you they have very good
reasons for supposing matter is primary and the contrary view is mainly held by adherents
of bronze age superstitions.
