Idealism is more Rational than Materialism

[Chas]

you are not just saying matter exists, but you are saying something about the fundamental nature of matter. that it is fundamental. this is not something you prove by observation as you obviously can't tell the difference between a material object and a material object you are Hallucinating.

I am saying that matter exists regardless of consciousness. So, yes, matter is more fundamental than consciousness.

Unless you are advocating Solipsism or mass hallucination, then my observations are confirmed by others' observations of the same and similar matter.
That matter exists is the more parsimonious and coherent explanation.
