If I may turn the question around sswhateverlove; imagine Morpheus called you at work tomorrow and somehow transported you outside the Matrix so that you became aware that everything you had up until that point believed was objective reality was now obviously nothing more than a computer simulation. Suppose you spent a few hours there and then found yourself immediately waking up in your bedroom, back in the Matrix. How would you know that had been anything more than a subjective experience? Wouldn't you need to run similar experiments outside of the Matrix to the ones you originally proposed?
I'm saying any distinction between objective and subjective reality that a person could ever hope to possibly make wouldn't be effected either way.

"Objective reality is how things really are."
So, you think that while in the Matrix we are capable of perceiving things as they "really are"?
