The overall result does not surprise me, but two things in particular did:
1. That materialism is much less popular than I expected. I wonder how much is due to selection bias.
2. That idealism didn't enjoy a bigger bump than it did. I predict that dose size would correlate with increase in idealist views, as larger doses are more frequently nondual, and nondual experiences tend to inspire idealist beliefs.

I myself think there are various strong reasons to believe in idealism. I've written about them here: https://www.essentiafoundation.org/reading/on-the-self-valid...
