I had a feeling it would come down to “it depends what you mean by realism” even though (1) realism as “preexisting properties” seems to have been disproved on a quantum level and (2) macrorealism apparently also fails.
So I’m supposed to ignore Leggett and Zeilinger? I did go read Quantum Non-Realism and came away non-enlightened, largely because of the use of the word “consciousness” which seems to be as fuzzy for physicists as quantum reality is for philosophers.
I don’t think Zeilinger was “philosophizing”—they were trying to hire an actual philospher.
