Isn't to make the statement that the material isn't real as much of a leap of reason as to say it is real? You cannot 'know' neither if your standard of truth is empirical, you can only have a perspective that you call reality and might as well be true because you know nothing truer than it.

>After we came out of the church, we stood talking for some time together of Bishop Berkeley's ingenious sophistry to prove the nonexistence of matter, and that every thing in the universe is merely ideal. I observed, that though we are satisfied his doctrine is not true, it is impossible to refute it. I never shall forget the alacrity with which Johnson answered, striking his foot with mighty force against a large stone, till he rebounded from it -- "I refute it thus."

>thinking that's a proper refutation
