Dr. Johnson long ago refuted Bishop Berkeley's idealism by kicking a heavy stone, but speaking as a confirmed `materialist', probably one no different from Pinter, I think you greatly oversimplify our state as conscious creatures in a very large, and rather unfathomable -- human no less than physical -- universe.
