So if nothing exists but matter then we dont' have ideas? May be true for
some, I suppose.

Ooooh, philosophy!
A philosopher said "initially philosophy encompassed the
whole of science, but it's gradually withdrawn until all that
remains to it is the analysis of language." (paraphrased)
It depends what you mean by "exist". Thoughts don't exist
in the way that brains do. (My materialistic test of existence
is "can you poke it with a stick?")
