So, this is just a funny song, it doesn't actually represent what I believe. Anyways---

Realist rap

realist rap

don't give me that idealist crap

realist rap

realist rap

the universe won't care if this beat slaps

/

The world exists, there's no denying

you want to prove that it doesn't? Ha, keep on trying

Get that pop-sciency garbage out of my face

The material universe is here to stay

/

Compiled data tells us that atoms are real

Matter is a thing I can touch and feel

It's time for conscious-centerdness to go

Idealists have no evidence, and it shows.

/

As an example of realism, let's look at this song

You could say it doesn't exist, but that's wrong

It's sound waves and signals in the very real brain

Caused by real chemicals, just like pleasure and pain.

/

Speaking of pain, you must enjoy it a lot

Since injuries aren't real, according to idealist thought

Just because only part of the world is visible to us

Doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, thus:

/

The data gives us numbers for things we can't see

molecular arrangements are known to me.

I couldn't observe them,. they're way too small,

But that doesn't imply that they aren't there at all

/

You can't make something real, just by thinking

You can't make yourself fly, even if you're sinking

Humans aren't special and magic is fake

Even if you concentrate you can't disappear a lake.

/

Given sufficient tools I could predict the future

Like an advanced supercomputer

I was predestined to drop this sick beat

Idealists, admit defeat!

/

Idealism is a mishap

Why don't you have some realist rap

realist rap

realist rap

/

So I'm gonna go on a little hiatus for a day or two, get some real work done...
