It is only in one particular subject-object relationship that you can claim unique identity in the way that you are. You can say, "I'm not aware of my own brain function, so my ideas are purely subjective. . . to me." But your ideas are purely objective to anybody else.
See? It's a matter of perspective, not of the "real truth."
You started out well with the definitions of subject and object. However, there is one objective reality, period. It can be perceived in different ways, but those perceptions don't change the reality. You are still trying to conflate reality and the perception of reality one may have.
*sigh* This has drifted so far off the topic of the thread, and I know I am partly to blame. This should be a discussion about morality. I really hate being in the philosophy section with you, benny.
