       @DK_Dharmaraj So here's a question: you are, by your own admittance, a committed nominalist. Even though Western Philosophy starts with literal Platonic Realism, the West has been on a Nominalist course/trend for quite some time (or, perhaps, the Nominalist strain has been more intense than the Realist strain), starting with Plato's most famous student Aristotle (other than maybe Deleuze I don't think that many Nominalists have a meaningful inheritance from Heraclitus).What, then, would you as a Nominalist, view as "proof" of Realism? As in, what could be shown to you, or what would have to be different about the world that we live in, for you to be a Realist (not necessarily a "Zeus is the demiurge and he's based" Platonist, however)?Go ahead and @ any other Buddhists if you want, idk whose on here.
