The real world will never match the subjective image in our mind.
By the way, I am holding one finger up. Am I saying Fuck YOU, or am I relaying the idea of 1?
I guess I'm an aardvark But I am not big on the intuition aspect of this branch of math. It has powerful uses in computer programing, as computers tend to crash when asked to calculate infinity, or other irrational numbers. The floating point workaround is not adequate.
Damn! aardvark don't give a shit, is not as good as honeybadger don't give a shit!

To use more language from mathematics; All things being equal,if all that is left of subjectivity is that we share a nearly identical genetic code, we're talking about a concept that is effectively objective (aardvarks would disagree).
