This is what I don’t understand:
We all seem to agree that things exist. That this category; “real things” is not an empty set. Earth is real. My bed is real. Your car is a real thing. Snow belongs in this set. Where we differ is that some you believe or assume that there also exists a second and distinct category of real things - I’ll call it “RealPlus” - that are somehow just as real as real things, but different enough to qualify as their own category. Can someone, anyone, please:
1. List in detail, the positive descriptors of things in the “RealPlus” set (mind, the supernatural, god, etc) and-
2. Explain to me what other distinctions besides, “cannot be empirically detected” render it in need of its own category, and—
3. If the only distinction between things in the “RealThings” set and things in the “RealPlus” set is the ability to be detected, what qualifies anything in the latter set as real at all?
