Contra Metaphysical Idealism

If this were so, then the ideas wouldn't be the fundamental building block of the universe, and idealism would be false. Basically, it's taking a physical world view but not requiring that "things" underly properties.

However, while this works for physics-- i.e. for explaining the things we can all observe and talk about, it doesn't work for psychogony. Why is it that the exchange of physical particles (verb or noun) results in/requires the subjective awareness of qualia?
