Let’s return to the question with which we began: what ‘is real’? What ‘exists’? The answer is that this is a badly put question, signifying everything and nothing. Because the adjective ‘real’ is ambiguous, it has a thousand meanings. The verb ‘to exist’ has even more. To the question ‘Does a puppet whose nose grows when he lies exist?’, it is possible to reply: ‘Of course he exists! It’s Pinocchio!’; or: ‘No, he doesn’t, he’s only part of a fantasy dreamed up by Collodi.’
