Just because you and I, and millions of others, can agree that 2 + 2 = 4 does not make 4 objective. From your point of view everyone you talk to is a perception of your brain. Shake their hand. That's also perception. Get hit by a ball. That's perception, and only you are capable of perceiving. You cannot prove without a doubt that others are doing the same.

But there must be some degree of objectivity, right? There is, but the problem is not wether objectivity exists or not. The problem is the current definition of objectivity. You can't honestly prove that there is an external reality out there. You only know what your brain can perceive and what it preceives is limited.

For all intents and purposes, the honest meaning of objectivity is simply this....

Objectivity is the observance of your own limitations.
