The ideas he's forwarding, what he's taking to be good arguments for them, and the tenor of his communication does this for us, so that no assumption is necessary.
Have you understood Kastrup full argument before you arrive at your judgment?
Where is your counter argument?
I'm not typing thousands of words at a time. We can go bit by bit, because we're going to have to settle each point.
So first, given his so-called "Basic facts of reality,"
the first is: "There are tight correlations between a person’s reported private experiences and the observed brain activity of the person."
This only has any significance if there actually are brains and we're not simply referring to a single (perhaps the only) person's imaginings.
It only has any significance if there are actually brains in bodies situated in a world, etc., which means that realism is the case.
If this isn't the case and it's just something that perhaps a solely-existing mind has occur as arbitrary mental phenomena--it's just an imagined brain that we're talking about, then there's no more significance to this supposed "fact" than if the person has imagined a correlation between their experiences and a particular (imagined, of course) penguin.
I am not sure of your point??
Note the Venn Diagram I presented in the other post.
In terms of Venn Diagrams,
Circle-1 is totally inside the circle-2. i.e. circle-1 is
totally subsumed within circle-2.
Circle-1 in this case are the "Basic facts of reality,"
Circle-2 is the mind with reality [all there is]. This is not related to the individual mind but rather the collective mind of humanity.
As such whatever are the basic facts of reality [1], they are totally subsumed within the collective-mind and reality [2].
Thus re Kastrup 'Everything is Mind' implied the "Basic facts of reality," which are independent [of things and individual minds] at one level, they are not independent of the collective 'mind'.
