Bel touched on something I've wondered about. Where does the line between objective and subjective exist? Do the patterns in the light entering my eye have objective existence? What about the patterns of electrical activity in my optic nerve? Does it become subjective when my visual cortex abstracts features out of the stream of neural input? Or does that happen when our subconscious orders those abstract features into a set of relations? Or does it necessarily have to enter consciousness itself to become subjective? Or does it only become subjective when our consciousness "does something" with those perceptions, and what exactly does that mean?
I think as Bel observes, Kant concluded that our awareness and the reality it is aware of are inextricably bound. So it may make more sense to say the subjective objective distinction is a false dichotomy, and therefore the question of a primacy of consciousness or existence itself may be a false dilemma.
