In fact, every single person will in most cases disagree with everyone and anyone else on most things - you see one shade of grey, someone else sees a slightly different shade. You can never see the variation anybody else sees because everyone has a different subjective perspective. Otherwise according to you everyone's wrong against everyone else? No body can speak for another persons experience. What is much more logical, is what is right and wrong is entirely up to you and no one else. The function of society is based on a misplaced presumption that if we allow each other to create an authority over another, this then gives us some sort of power to know whats what collectively, that somehow the amalgamation of many perspectives can have the slightest insight on yours, even though they never experienced yours. All this does is, this gives your own power of your own experience over to another. By living under the rule of anyone else, judging any single one of your actions, is to give up your ability to judge for yourself. You're essentially giving up your power of who you are to another.

Figure that one out Wink

Mankind simply suffers with the knowledge that objectivity marginalizes subjectivity...as humans we seek and desire external affirmation, as a consequent we suffer with the understanding (and perhaps the avidity) that -  justly or unjustly - in many instances, might makes for right...or rather the illusory intimation thereof.

So what does objectivity have to do with might makes right? Can you elaborate on this? I don't understand how they imply eachother
