Bonus nonsense:

Revenge of the Sith glazing

Glittering Images by Camille Paglia

I stopped reading after this horrendous introduction. I would describe the prose as Redditor adjacent. The author identifies as a civil rights era liberal and atheist, while condemning black art and Piss Christ. There were some pretty pictures in the book tho. I don't know who this author lady is/was but she sucks. 2/10

E: if you look this lady up, as many in the comments have done already, turns out she's a racist, transphobic pedophile. classic anticommunist

From the point of metaphysics there's something like a "soul" in you, only limited by material conditions.

That's a metaphysical stance but not at all synonymous with metaphysics. What you're describing is dualism.

They'll ask you: "So you don't believe in sound? You don't think heat exists?

These are bad examples because they are just types of moving particles.

The other two are incorrect about diamat not being materialist though, it's just a version of materialism
