Those are two separate things you are equating. Perceptions are just electrical impulses in your brain based on what your body and brain can detect. Your personal perception of the hot chocolate and the actual object of the hot chocolate are not the same thing. The color red as a property of an object is not affected in any way by a blind man's inability to see it

Both the chocolate and the brain function are objective.  They can both be observed, at least in theory.  What part of it do you claim is subjective-but-not-objective?
