"Objective reality" is only the source for the least interesting truth. The truths that really get people fighting over concern best courses of action, moral matters, aesthetic issues, and things like that, where there isn't some singular objective truth (and even if there was, nobody has access to it).
replyYou say that, but some people really do give you a hard time if you try to assert that there is one, definite, objective reality.
replyUh, what is objective reality?
replyWhat is objectivity?
reply“There is only a perspectival seeing, only a perspectival ‘knowing’; and the more affects we allow to speak about one thing, the more eyes, different eyes, we can use to observe one thing, the more complete will our ‘concept’ of this thing, our ‘objectivity,’ be.” — Nietzsche:On the Genealogy of Morals III
It's a target. Objectivity does not appear in nature in a stable form. Nothing is fixed and certain. Some things just appear that way from our point of view.
"The universe is made of stories, not atoms."
replyMy own addendum: the atoms are stories, too.
What is.
