Here's a fun q. How would an existentialist go about making the case that their appraisal of a person was objective and consequential as to how we might define that person even in contradiction to that persons own self apprehension and...fwiw, written words? As I mentioned, there are alot of people who would like to accept existentialist premises, like to object to objectivism in many contexts - but might still also like to make objective claims in others. This one is as good as any for a suggestion.

Since everything is just so much easier to do directly. Do you think that science is a god's eye view of anything?
I don't even know what that would mean in context.
Science is a human endeavor. It is a structured way to get information by proposing and testing ideas via observation.
I don't even see science as a worldview: it is a method of obtaining reliable information.
