Great question! As much as we try to find the objective view, it doesn’t exist. The viewing of reality is always in the subjective. We may try to turn the subjective view onto an object of inspection, but here we also find, there’s nothing there. This is why we can’t “see” our eyeball.

Or is the subjective reality a fantasy that we use to make sense of the objective world? Facts are Facts independent of how we feel about them.

Definitely not saying that objective view isn’t valuable, say to progress and survival, and economics, only that it has limits. Indeed facts are facts. But what we see, not just with quantum mechanics, but with our whole view of the universe, is that it’s all based on subjective filters. https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262048804/the-blind-spot/

To detect any pattern is to create an abstraction. Are abstractions “real?” Or are they something else? Information is lost.

Totally agree, we don't see the universe through objective eyes. Yet we keep trying to make subjective provable measurements to understand it as best as anyone ever has. But in the day to day life I'm tired of people telling me my objective facts are wrong because of their subjective views. Another Book added to my list.
