Perhaps you need to look up what "real" actually means.

- LordDragonfang 9d ago> Perhaps you need to look up what "real" actually means. On the contrary; I think. Nearly every definition disagrees with the claims you're making. It's not a mere synonym of "concrete" or antonym of "abstract". https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/real https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/real And regardless, the usage here was clearly in the context of GP's (false) dichotomy between "real" or "false concept", so obviously the definition you're trying to prescribe doesn't apply.
