But I don't necessarilty believe that to be a negative thing. The ideaa of complete logic and objective jusgement is almost as horrifying as the idea of complete subjectivity, a life inside your own head. Total objectivity is devoid of personality and emotion. I'd say both absolutes are inhuman. Gus: Hippy :P If the only frame of reference I can possibly have is my own, then to me it is the only one that matters. I cannot know for certain that there are any others. So my "frame of reference" is my whole universe, and within that universe I have no intention of second-guessing my opinion based on points of view which I cannot emulate. I think objectivity is essential to the human experience. Philosophise for hours and you'll still be hungry if you don't eat. Objectvity = reality. Existing in an entirely subjective world sounds absolutely awful to me. And I think it would necessitate complete isolation from external entities, including people. Define "the human experience".

I say that not only is objectivity unattainable, it is fundamentally irrelevant to the human experience.
