A rigorous methodological separation of features of reality from what we believe and know about them, and from what we say about them - a separation that the various kinds of anti-realism refuse to contemplate - is the cure for the conceptual mess in which anti-realism festers.
As I had stated, philosophical realism [human-condition independent] [aka mind-independent] is an evolutionary default embedded in ALL human since 200,000 years ago and deterministically linked to a 13.7 billion years history to the Big Bang.
This human independence of reality is critical for basic survival.
Whilst the idea of human-independent-reality is crucial and has been successful of basic survival since 3.5 billions of years since life first emerged, it created two concepts;
1. that which is described,
2. description of the-described
which turn generates a REALITY-GAP where the only way to reconcile the-description with the-described is via correspondence and mirroring.
Thus the above is the skeptics feast in declaring the REALITY-GAP is eternal and humans will never ever know what is really real.
There is no way to prove the really real, i.e. the described.
You keep blabbering there is
1. the fact, a feature of reality that is just-is, being-so, that is the case where no words and meanings can touch eternally
2. the above 1 is independent of subjects [humans] opinions, beliefs and judgments.
But you are unable to demonstrate in any way, what 1 above really is.
You are very arrogant based on your ignorance not realizing that was only about 5,000 -10,000 years ago a few humans realized there is something wrong with philosophical-realism - the evolutionary default.
Note example, the Buddha, Protagoras' "Man is the measure of all things" and a few others pioneers who has the competence to break away from the masses.
One point is;
as humans continue to evolve with knowledge of reality, they have the greater the knowledge of the existence of greater threats against humanity.
In the past, ignorance was bliss, even when it existed the possibility of a rogue meteorite coming from nowhere to smash humanity into extinction like what happened to the dinosaurs. Ignorance was bliss, even with the possibility of a pandemic, and other global threats that could wiped the human species to extinctions.
With an exponential expansion of knowledge, there is the threat of human extinction from cheap available WMDs [nuclear and biological], climate change and global warmings.
Now, the 13.7 billion years old philosophical realism of human independence [mind-independent] which is effective for our ancient ancestors is becoming a real liability and potential threat to humanity if we dogmatically cling to it without a paradigm shift by the masses.
However, if there is a paradigm shift from philosophical-realism to anti-philosophical-realism [Kantian], then we view reality as interdependent with the human conditions.
Because humans are interdependent with reality [e.g. co-creators], such a realization will enable the majority of humans to take responsibility for the likely threats they could be contributing to the existence of humanity.
