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/

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.

Yeah this period post facts is going to cause a lot of pain. It is as if objectivity has lost any value. At the end of the day it’s economics and power that own the narratives in the attention age. Our human biases are too easily gamed.

For a small window, a few years ago, I thought that human were rising above their biases and realizing that they don't have to mindlessly be gamed. I fear we have lost that hope now to the power of the algorithm. Hopefully we break out of this spiral one day.

Idk, i don’t see it. Not without new supreme court that could actually put breaks on dark money. That’s far away. It’s all information wars now, and we have no defenses.

Sad but true. I try to teach my sons to view the world more objectively and to check their facts and biases. Start locally.

Objective reality always wins, eventually, but it is generally painful when it finally does.
