My point is those who oppose my FSRK principles [mind-related] adopt disembodied realism [mind-independence] re point ii, iii. iv.
I am currently re-reading the book 'Philosophy in the Flesh', so I know what I am talking about.

I have already demonstrated my point;
1. All philosophical realists believe in an absolutely mind-independent external reality.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_realism
2. My FSRK is based on embodied realism and not believing in an absolutely mind-independent external reality [disembodied realism re ii, iii iv re OP].
Disembodied realism believes in an absolutely mind-independent external reality.
3. Therefore those who oppose my FSRK based reality, i.e. are p-realists share the same beliefs of disembodied realism.
All p-realists by definition aligns with disembodied realism [OP's ii, iii & iv]

Re: Embodied Realism vs Disembodied Realism
Embodied Realism denies the existence of a mind-independent external reality.Embodied Realism is close to the direct Realism of the Greeks in its denial of a mind-body Gap.
It [Embodied Realism] differs from direct Realism and Symbol-System Realism in its epistemology, since it denies that we can have objective and absolute knowledge of the world-in-itself.

Re: Embodied Realism vs Disembodied Realism
The critical point here is Embodied Realism ASSUMES there a material world exists that science seeks to discover.The Direct Realism of the Greeks can thus be characterized as having three aspects:
1.The Realist Aspect: The assumption that the material world exists and an account of how we can function successfully in it.
2.The Directness Aspect: The lack of any mind-body Gap.
3.The Absoluteness Aspect: The view of the world as a unique, absolutely objective structure of which we can have absolutely correct, objective knowledge.
Symbol-System Realism of the sort found in Analytic Philosophy accepts (3), denies (2), and claims that (1) follows from (3), given a scientifically unexplicated notion of "correspondence.”
Embodied Realism accepts (1) and (2), but denies that we have any access to (3).
All three of these views are "realist" by virtue of their acceptance of (1) [assumption of an external world]. Phil in the Flesh 7.1
Re 3. Embodied Realism denies there is an absolute mind-independent external world.

Re: Embodied Realism vs Disembodied Realism
According to PhilPapers 2020 survey, nearly 80% of philosophers are non-skeptical realists (what you call a p-realist)
https://survey2020.philpeople.org/survey/results/all
According to the same survey, nearly 52% of philosophers are physicalists about the mind
https://survey2020.philpeople.org/survey/results/4874
That gives us an explicit minimum percent for philosophers who are counter-examples to your argument here.
AT LEAST 32% of philosophers are simultaneously physicalists about the mind AND are p-realists. (That's a lower bound, I suspect the number is closer to 50% - I expect the vast majority of philosophers who are physicalists about the mind are also realists, but I gave you as much statistical wiggle room as possible which is why 32% is lthe lower bound)
So the claim that p-realists must believe the things you say they believe is clearly factually incorrect. There are many many counter examples. At least 32% of professional philosophers are concrete counter-examples.

Re: Embodied Realism vs Disembodied Realism
He's not the only one on the forum with such an extremely restrictive lens that the meaning of everything they read turns into absolute mush. Iambiguous treats literature like that too. "How can I consume these words in a way that sucks all the meaning out of anything that makes me feel uncomfortable?"

All Philosophies are Reducible to ‘p-Realism’ vs [anti-p-realism]‘Idealism’
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=28643
Pragmatism may be not so clear-cut
but most pragmatists are ANTI-p-realists.
e.g.
Rorty - No Mind-Independent Reality
viewtopic.php?t=32188
Other than pragmatism, how me which philosophy do not fall into either p-realism or anti-p-realism?
Re: Embodied Realism vs Disembodied Realism
You seem to be randomly mixing at least 4 concepts, realism, anti-realism, idealism, materialism and present them as 2 concepts. And you base all of that on Kant's 100% unknowable noumenon view, that makes no sense either.

Materialism is covered within philosophical realism.
Idealism [to be specified] is generally anti-realism.
Kant 100% unknowable noumenon is anti-p-realism.
- In some contexts, [p]-realism is contrasted with idealism. Today it is more often contrasted with anti-realism, for example in the philosophy of science. WIKI

"All Philosophies are Reducible to ‘p-Realism’ vs [anti-p-realism]‘Idealism’"
what is this?
There are various realisms vs anti-realisms. Overall, philosophies can't be divided into simply realism or anti-realism.
Your Kantian anti-p-realism is not necessarily an idealism. Didn't Kant try to refute idealism?
Kant wasn't even an anti-realist, had more like a since then partially refuted kind of mixture of realism and anti-realism, but he was getting close.
