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."

The reason Sean Carroll states /that line/ of course s that he*is a
Platonist!*
No, he just doesn't agree with your idea of what is matter.
