So I've been noticing how a lot of hax-savvy or powerful verses revolve around incorporating platonic philosophy or ideas such as "Theory of Forms" and Jungian archetypes, and that's fine and all but I've been curious for a while how things would fair in a (hypothetical) verse dictated by materialism .
After all, materialism is in opposition to idealism as the former insists that matter takes primacy over thought. In other words, the world is not governed by concepts but the concepts are a reflection of reality or how we perceive reality to be.
It makes me wonder how things like conceptual manipulation would fair when applied to a verse that is strictly speaking materialist and is not bound by "concepts" or "souls" or other immaterial ideas.
At the same time, I'm wondering if a materialist verse could hypothetically even reach 1-A since isn't 1-A strictly speaking immaterial or metaphyiscal in every sense of the word, or are their ways for a materialist or anti-idealist verse (science fiction is fair game I suppose?) to be incredibly overpowered despite not relying on things like conceptual manipulation or reality warping in the conventional platonic or idealist sense?
Just throwing it out there, and I am curious what all of your thoughts are on such a hypothetical materialist verse in the context of verse power rating and OP hax shenanigans.
