> reality is also subjective This is a big leap. While I agree that value is subjective, that doesn't make reality subjective. Reality is the medium through which our subjective experiences are negotiated. We are all more or less seeing and hearing the same events. Of course our interpretation of them can vary drastically, but that doesn't mean that what "actually" happened is different. Can a human fully get at the "objective" truth? Probably not, but we can negotiate pretty close to it, and the more we all hammer away at the same thing to perceive what is going on with it, the more likely it is that our generalized observations are pretty close to what is "actually" happening. Edit: You can view our perceptions of reality as an evolutionary process. Those of us who have interpretations of reality that most closely align with "what is really happening" will probably survive more over the long run. There are, of course, exceptions, it seems like humans have defense mechanisms in memory that help survival, so a perfectly clear picture of reality can, sometimes, be detrimental to human health (especially mental health).
