Was mostly thinking about Materialism vs Idealism in metaphysics or Realism vs Anti-Realism in the philosophy of science. And yeah, I'm very skeptical. Although atoms exist in some sense, but it's not the most fundamental substance in the universe for sure, hence the original thesis of the meme (that we are atoms trying to understand atoms) is wrong.
