   Ah, but you see, either we have the world, or the world + x, where the x   
   factor is any type of idealist world or theory. St Occam teaches us not to   
   needlessly multiply complexities, so the world it is.   
      
   Another approach is of course that the mind is based on matter. So without   
   the world, no mind. ;)
