...then the problem is, how can a 'realist' detach theoretical problems
from the real problems of the real world. Mario Bunge said once that
Popper's 'world 3' is a platonic phantasy and Carl Friedrich von
Weizsäcker told me about Popper'ontology' "it is bad ontology". To put
it more crude: if after a catastrophic event all human beings (or beings
capable of understanding what is put in 'world 3') disappear then 'world
3' is meaningless. Or: it makes no sense (to me) to advocate for the
independence of each of the three 'worlds' and to speak of 'worlds' when
talking about 'things' that cannot be be counted _as_ worlds.
