Shorts Matter or Consciousness?

The nature and definition of matter remains debated.
Is there a single kind of matter (hyle) that everything is made of, or are there multiple kinds?
Is matter a continuous substance capable of expressing multiple forms (hylomorphism) or a number of discrete, unchanging constituents (atomism)?
Does matter have intrinsic properties (substance theory) or lack them (prima materia)?
James Lovelock's (1919 - 2022) Gaia hypothesis sees the Earth as a self-regulating organism.
This perspective emphasises Earth's interconnected ecosystem and humanity's role within it.
The living universe views the cosmos as a living being, undergoing evolutionary processes.
Even though cells can repair themselves this ability was not revealed in the genome.
The same is true for the brain, which can also repair itself, especially if the right brain is somewhat intact.
Such observations mirror what we appear to have observed within the living universe hypothesis.
But is the matter versus consciousness argument really a left-brain right-brain argument.
The left hemisphere sees everything as made up of matter and can be described from the bottom up.
Whereas the right hemisphere sees the universe as much more holistic.
This is the reason why materialist scientists see others as somehow deranged.
Because we simply don’t think the same way.
Rather than see matter as something physical that we can measure, maybe it is more an essential component of the philosophy of materialist science which went hand in hand with the Enlightenment.
Prior to the Enlightenment consciousness was seen as much more important, as it continues to be in much of the world even today.
But certainly in the west left-brain thinking has dominated everything in our lives.
