I object to physicalism because it doesn't allow for abstraction. It's basically being willfully blind to "everything humans think about and do." A chair is a collection of atoms and the forces that bind them, our ideas of chairs and their purpose are just meaningless fluff.
If we reframe to say that the atoms and forces of the chair are made of the same stuff as our thoughts, then that's way more in-line with how humans actually do things.
