You had the opportunity to agree on this score yesterday, and didn't take it, unless you attached your one agreement to the wrong post. Without the caveat, mine was a fair characterization of what you said. I myself have talked about the irreducible element of subjectivity, and the strategies necessary to partially and imperfectly bridge the gap. If you agree that we can reflect reality somewhat, than we are not very far apart. To be fair, this is what I was reacting to: Message 15667731 Objective reality? I see no evidence for that at all, especially for humans. I see humans all over the world making their own subjective realities. In some of those realities there are all sorts of Gods and Devils and Angels. In other realities people find objectivity in science, or philosophy. In some (like mine) there are only questions with no answers. Of course you may be seeing something else, in your other reality. There could be an objective reality, but it doesn't seem to matter since we can't know what it is. Now, there is a way of explaining that which takes the edge off, I suppose, but to go so far as to say it "doesn't matter since we can't know what it is", or to assert that "there are only questions with no answers" seems pretty categorical.......
