What are the differences between “I am a materialist person” and “I want to be a materialistic person”?

*Context: In a conversation on philosophical materialism that concerns matter and the universe, I want to describe my viewpoint which leans towards materialism due to its properties. My viewpoint has some properties which I am not sure can be considered materialist.

Due to being ununsure whether my entire viewpoint fits with straightforward materialist understanding I want to avoid describing myself as ”I am a materialist person” instead using the statement ”I am a materialistic person”. Is the word ”materialistic” correctly used?

Can excessive material possession be mistaken for personal use? Since context is a scientific and philosophical discussion about universe, it is clear for everyone in the conversation what materialism means. In some meanings of ”materialistic” means spiritual, philosophical, etc. See also ”materialistic scientist”, ”materialistic scholar”, etc. See also ”materialistic philosopher”, etc. in links section. as well.

Common description of suffix ”-ic” is ”of or pertaining to or relatedeness”. Description below also indicates ”having some characteristics of opposed to simple attributive use” : enter link description here Examples: it doesn’t have to imply substance (objects made of metal). Any sort of resemblance to metal is enough to describe something as ‘’metallic’’ as such ‘’metallic vase’’ or metallic vocal ‘’materialwhat?

Why don’t we use ‘the internet’ and why not?

Can I add suffix ”-ic” to the word ”materialist” when there is any resemblance to ”materialist” such as materialist-like perspective?

Thank you.

What are some of them?
