Subjection is fucking retarded cope, it’s only useful when dealing with people not able to engage in honest conversations without being butthurt
 
The difference between objectivity and subjectivity is subjective, therefore it's only possible to be subjective. It's good to strive to be objective, but it's an unattainable ideal.
Yeah, let's look at my surroundings, a tree here, a sofa there... do they accommodate to my sensibilities? yeah. do they cease to function after I've discarded my presence among them? no. a tree is still there, so is the sofa, and their properties continue

I personally agree with your belief in an objective reality that exists beyond the self, as most sane people do, but since all we have to depend on are our subjective interpretations of things we perceive with our flawed and variable senses, it's impossible to be completely objective. I believe the tree and sofa objectively exist and will continue to exist without me, but I only believe that because of reports from my subjective senses and corroborating those reports with the subjective senses of others. So, I'm 99.9% barred sure that the tree and sofa exist, but it's irrational to be 100% sure of anything.
 
Subjective. Because at least you're being honest with yourself.

People who try to be objective always end up being weirdos
 
You can never truly be objective about anything. We can't actually perceive objective reality because our sensesvare subject to whatever our brain is telling us to perceive.
Objectively you're dumb and you've got a big stinky butt that is also dumb. You are subject to stinkiness because that is the objective dumb reality of your situation.
