Do minds have an "inside" and "outside"?

I agree that my conclusion shows you can't get rid of your categories.
I disagree that the categories (that you can't get rid of) are "realist categories".
Of course, you are pre-supposing that to be the case, but that's just begging the question.
Show me a category outside of a human mind.

And even when you draw the line. Which side is the "inside" side? Which side is the "outside" side? Why can't you swap the labels?
