Contra Metaphysical Idealism

[Angrboda]

Rae, the humanities deal extensively with describing how ideas form and fit together. Linguistics and semiotics are useful areas of study that produce knowledge even if those who advocate scientism believe otherwise. In a sense, we can model, albeit less precisely, the behaviour of ideas.

Can you give an example? I'm not following you here. I'm familiar with linguistics and semiotics and neither seem to give description of what benny is referring to as 'ideas' here, which is the stuff that we have when we experience qualia.
