Not at all. As all evidence that forms knowledge is interpreted through
the senses the entire object/subject argument is null and void.
Objectivity comes from the naive point of view that we see exactly...

That is "metaphysical objectivity," e.g., naive realism. It has been largely
abandoned since Kant, at least by science and philosophy (yes, there are
holdouts!)

But there is a more defensible sense (what I call "cognitive objectivity").
Objectivity and subjectivity, like truth and falsity, are properties of
propositions, not of the world. Objectivity is related...

It is a common saying that everything is subjective. Doesn't
scientific method tend to weaken this viewpoint? Repeatability of some
experiments seems to me to support the idea of a real and objective
world out there. Doesn't it?

Its only as common as horse shit among the dumb arsed unthinking
Kantians.

The retort is, if everything is subjective, then that is fucking
subjective, therefore of the mind fucking bull-shit, therefore idiotic
trash, therefore invented by Kant to keep people dumb arsed unthinking
Kantians.

I don''t belive that everything is subjective. I mean the fact that
the Earth revolves around the sun is an objeticve truth, yet our
knowledge is obviously cooured by our subjectivity. As is evidanced by
Mikey boys rant. He feels, subjectivly, that what he says is objectivly
true.

But you do believe that everything you do believe is formed from a
subjective belief, because you cant be 100%% certian that it is, or is
not a subjective belief and even that you're not 100%% certain nor
99.99999%% uncertain about, you said so yourself. From memory you are
0.000001%% neither more or less certain or uncertain than chazzzzzzzz.

Hey Micky

That is more or less correct yes. How can you be 100%% certian of
anything? Are you 100%% certian of anything?

Crap, you stupid ignorant arrogant cunt, how dare you pretend you know
anything about me, goodgod what a fruitcake, typical Kantian mystical
desperate nonsense, pretending to see whats not there.

Your turn now, what evidence do you have to substaniate YOUR claim that
man must have doubt in the scientific physical fact, that a human being
can not survive in what is called the vacuum of space (say 40kms above
the earth's surface) outside of his space craft without wearing some
sort of a space suit?

Yes but I doubt its going to help you, you clearly feel let down by
your parent's love and you're going to take this to your grave, poor
sod.

NOTE I dont give a flying fuck whether or not you agree with me, the
following is what I am saying love is, and it is precisely the standard
for love I have used, to make the claims of 100%% certainty I made in
the previous post, YOU GOT THAT?

Hey look, wow this is a new line fir a Kantian, demanding there be *no
contradiction* in a definition, hmmm this will be interesting.

What is the definition for certain, in your claim that its not possible
for you to ever recognise a 100%% correct non-contradicting definition,
not even of something certain.
