What I meant by everything being subjective, I was meaning in the class of the way one looks at the world. When you follow blindly, without thought, the subjective often gets viewed as objective. Like churchies kids
In other words, everyone views the world differentlySo what you mean by subjective is subjective to what you mean by subjective
Ya that works good in the real world when dictionaries have already worked out the objective meanings of words

Very true. This is exactly why science insists on reproducible observations of nature. The whole idea is to remove the subjective element as far as humanly possible, to ensure the objective truth of how we perceive the world to behave.In other words, everyone views the world differently

That's moving the goal posts. Some people love rain, others hate it. But no one denies it is rain.Rain is rain but the idea of rain can be positive or negative depending of the subjective opinion of the individual
But no one denies it is rain.
I think Write4U meant no one in their right mind would deny it is rain.No one knows it's rain
Me and Elon Musk. It's not about denying, it's about not knowingI think Write4U meant no one in their right mind would deny it is rain.
I am sorry you are not able to know when it is raining, I guess on a positive note you save money on raincoats and umbrellas. I believe that Elon Musk is able to identify rain, I have not asked him, but I think it is a good bet that he does.Me and Elon Musk. It's not about denying, it's about not knowing
In Lawrence of Arabia, Lawrence is putting out matches with his fingertips. Another British soldier tries it, burns himself and says, "Ooh! It damn well 'urts!" Lawrence replies, "Certainly it hurts. The trick is not minding that it hurts."Me and Elon Musk. It's not about denying, it's about not knowing
Every surface dweller on earth knows what rain is. Only a few know why it rains.....difference.No one knows it's rain
We think we know, we do know the process of rain from the earth to the sky to the earth. Thing is, you break down rain enough times and you get something no different from a cotton ball in the Sahara desert.Every surface dweller on earth knows what rain is.

We all perceive rain the same way but who knows if we're right? Nobody
Does not compute. Have you ever seen a drop of water? When a bunch of water drops come from the sky above, we call it "rain". Why make it more complicated? We know how it works.Me and Elon Musk. It's not about denying, it's about not knowing

Elon Musk seems to believe we live in a simulation - subjective universe.
There are compelling arguments for both sides of the story, one does not stamp out the other. I don't believe in anything, I just live.
So in the short versionI respect you too much to bother with posting links. As I respect the opinions of Elon Musk. I was just using him as an example. There are many respected scientists, philosophers etc with similar opinions to Elon. I am not knowledgeable enough to say reality is objective or subjective, I simply don't believe anyone is.
Everyone's individual reality varies, little left, little right, little up or little down![]()
