Re: Platonic Realism
Well, without any additional information, I would select the following hypotheses:
1. Cultural diffusion/transmission
2. Human brains working the way human brains do
3. Cherry picking data (counting the hits and ignoring the misses)
4. Perception of reality.
Then, I would have to figure out which of these I could prove wrong. If any remain, that one is tentatively true.
You seem to be saying that only #4 can be correct, so I am not sure if you have done the rest of the work...
Just to point out - the quote from Dr. Wallace you use to close out your post is clearly referring to cultural diffusion (#1 on my list).
