It seems that the two agree on an important feature: that reality is fundamentally impersonal and nonmental.
But beyond that, it's rather difficult for me to follow, and some of the issues seem to me to be side issues. Like traditional atomism vs. field theories, including quantum ones. I say that because both are equally impersonal and nonmental.
How can they be impersonal when one of the real things is persons?
Personal bias [alone] cannot make a person dissappear. You have to kill them, grind them up, put them in a wheelie bin etc. HTH.
