So, dualism or special pleading?

I know you keep saying it. If ideas work, in the case of the "idea of a car" just like materialism works (gears and pistons)..or as if materialism is true...and materialism is insufficient..then so is idealism. Idealism can't explain the car any better than materialism, which it "subsumed". Apparently it -can- explain psychogony, though......in some mysterious way you've never even attempted to mention in all of the times we've had this conversation.
