One of the ways I try to reassure myself is to focus on the absurdity and perverseness of the paradox the materialists present me with, the idea that a universe can produce beings with the ability to vividly imagine that which this same universe expressly prohibits. It's one of the foundations on which I base my IM (and other) hopes, and the source of my almost visceral rejection of the materialist model.
[This pseudonerd would be very grateful if someone could restate the paradox (or point to a restatement) so that it isn't so heavy on "big" words
