Hello David,
I am not a Materialist. RMP has stated that the MOQ accepts
Materialism as long at it is understood to be a set of ideas. I am
curious about science and Krimel's views for that reason, but I think
he doesn't understand his scientific pov as a set of ideas but thinks
of them as reality itself. So yours and Krimels explanation are
conventional explanations that reflect the questions being asked by a
particular group of scientists and reflect the method being used to
discover the answer. Those three little sentences of Krimel's had
me confused so I thought I'd ask for clarification. Your explanation
was interesting too.

How so?
DS: This is too juicy to miss. If I can jump in? Intellect like all human
action is biological. Brain is one of the organs involved. The relationship
is causal but I'm not sure it assures anything, let alone survival, but
works toward that goal. Please let me answer this next one. Please? Please?
All social behaviour is based on approval or disapproval of the actor by the
intended recipient. The approval or disapproval generates pleasure
(biological (chemical) reward) in the actor depending on his/her personality
type. Sorry and thanks. -david swift
