It is Bruce who accuses Platonism of being a failure, even though he is not able to name any point where physicalism succeeds and Platonism fails. It goes without saying that all of modern science is compatible with Platonism.
Because Platonism is theology. It's all "explanation" and no prediction...just like "everythingism". It has never succeeded anywhere because it never puts itself to the test. It remains in a perfect Platonic world in which ours is a corruption or a random incident. As Sean Carroll puts it, "All human progress has been made by studying the shadows on the cave wall."
