Nothing prevents someone from saying that. But nothing would prevent someone from saying that even if epistemic realism were true.
Let’s say for a moment epistemic realism was false. What would you do? I’d do exactly what I currently do. It’s already important to care about what’s true, and there will be consequences for you if you ignore what’s true. The same is true for everyone else. Nothing would change. I don’t think the truth of epistemic realism would have practical consequences at all.

Interesting. I’ll have to think on this. Thanks for your comments!
