This is the tough one. If I apply the Occam's razor to the OR/SR that "All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the right one," or "we should not assert that for which we do not have some proof." it is clear, to me at least, that there is no SR.
Occam's razor sais that the theory with less entities is more likely to be true.
In a Subjective reality their is only one enitity (consciousness). Whatever consciousness is we can say "Cogito ergo sum" and our theory should explain consciousness.
Objective reality adds another entity into the equation: The objective world.
You have no evidence for that objective world and a sujective realtiy concept needs one entity less than the objective reality one so Occam's razor favors subjective reality.
