We separate the tangible from the intangible for good reason, yet if
one becomes angry and smashes a Ming vase, the mind has impacted matter

Sentient beings congregate to form groups/societies - planets
gravitate to form galaxies. In this way, gravitation might be viewed as
instinct or even a cure for the "loneliness" experienced by matter!
