From the perspective of somebody that believes in (literal) books full of things that are--in whole or in part--fabrications, of course realism looks naïve.

This flamewar is ancient and tired, like your dwindling religion of doomsday cultists and scientist killers.

I have no interest in flamewars. A reasonable discussion with other rational persons is something I appreciate, thankfully that can happen on HN; I find I equally enjoy that whether I’m simply reading such an exchange or engaging in it.

Your previous reply-comments (to me) convey unprovoked hostility. Why?

[rcoveson]

Explain to me how a reasonable discussion could possibly proceed after throwing out a link to "Naive Realism".

I won't defend my own comments. They're basically snark, boiling down to "religion bad reason good" (which I stand by). But don't try to take the high road now after you yourself replied to me with nothing but a Wikipedia fig leaf over "no you're just biased".
