> The important thing is that you can objectively quantify the color and appearance of the car in great detail mostly limited by your dedication and budget I used to think that, but my current belief is that there is no objective reality. I don’t mean you’re a figment of my imagination or I’m one of yours (though if we want to go down that philosophical rabbit hole, how could we refute either possibility), but that I now believe reality is not objective, it just is. I no longer believe there is a clear limit between subjects and objects. I think reality is whatever it is, and then our subjective experience is whatever our minds make out of the input from our senses, and anything objective is just whatever enough subjective people agree in consensus. In the vast majority of cases, the simplified vision that there’s an objective reality we can grasp given enough time and resources works well enough to appear true, but it’s important to stay aware of our limitations (I believe, our insurmountable limitations) in completely (to be fair, you did write “in great detail”), reliably, “objectively” arriving at a specific truth about some arbitrary part of reality.
