Objectivity is an ideal we can strive towards. And several crazy and expensive designs are worn in the real world. I have seen it with my own eyes. The people who are able to afford those clothes either:
- Have bad taste (A subjective judgement which is logically wrong, since it is absolute)
- Really like that look
- Don't care what anyone thinks of them
- Want to display their high status
- Want to stand out from the crowd
- rhizome 5y agoHumans are never objective. Ever. Not only that, this inherent and fundamental subjectivity means they could never know what objectivity looks like in order to judge whether something is indeed objective. Because their criteria are subjective. It's not an ideal, it's a legend.
