This is the main exponent of Ayn Rand objectivism - he's been very publicly critical of idealism recently (mainly Don Hoffman). Could his arguments be levelled towards Kastrup?
Well, what other arguments can you expect from religious naïve realists ? "The cup exists out there because I feel it!"

Indeed. Brook's hero called Kant the most evil person who lived, so sounds like he is on a crusade. Some don't 'get' idealism, some like him consider the thing they don't get to be extremely dangerous.

Right, and the former is a hallmark of any religious fundamentalism fueled by inner neurosis.
