This is Ken. Meet Ken. This guy surpasses «genius» levels far beyond any materialist/atomist...

This reminds me of the fact that we define "materialism" differently. When I use the term "material", I mean anything that has substance, whereas substance refers to anything that is true, is of use, or matters in any given context. It's not limited to a physical or tangible thing. For example, an idea can have substance because it's useful. The idea then matters. In the same way, an idea or teaching can be good material, because you can build on it.
I thought about what term I would use to reflect the idea of materialism like most people on this planet understand it. I came up with the term "greedism", which is the ideology that greed is a universal value, and that you need to gather physical possessions to have value in society.

Atomism is indeed a flawed concept. What he's telling in the video is common sense knowledge in any free civilization that developed to harness free energy. It's not that genius, because kids learned it in school where I came from.
Atomism is not a question of intelligence, it's a question of slavery. Enslaved societies are not allowed to have free energy, therefore schools, academia, and media have to be controlled in a way that false narratives are rewarded and true knowledge about how nature actually works is punished.
This means that true science becomes a matter of courage.
For my side of things there was no «school» needed since all information was already auto-available everywhere and we didn't exist on «planets» (in fact all of us were completely formless) even though those who had managed to «escape» out of the trap-existences were able to go off and experience literally anything that they wished to experience (ANY «fantasy» they wanted).
