A realist would assume that reality exists ... you live in a metaphysical fantasy world.

Do you accept that quantum physics in no way demonstrates reality to not exist?What quantum mechanics demonstrates depends on the interpretation, arealist/acausalist (Copenhagen orthodoxy) or realist/causalist (Bohm).
No, it doesn't because quantum mechanics describes physical reality, how matter is composed of molecules & atoms and how they are composed of yet smaller particles still.
