It is very challenging for anyone to try and refute the idealistic POV of Kant where idealism manifests as a skepticism about the possibility of knowing any mind-independent thing. Also, you should realize that the earliest extant arguments for the world being a mental construct is from South Asia and Greece. According to Ludwig, Hindu idealists like Shankara in India and the Greek gave good and logical arguments for an all-pervading consciousness as the ground or true nature of reality.
