what do you mean with "based"!?

the entire philosophical catigory questioning what we can perceive and know, is called Epistemology. Now that is a school of philosophy and therefor part of humanistic science all over the world and certainly not the determining funderment of western sociaty.

And still:

What is "realism"?

that things exist? wtf!? "just ignore the highway traffic and run accross the road!"

you bet that I dont ignore reality, and dont let people who ignore reality run importent things - that would be insane
