hahaha. I'm trying to see the balance between the logical/objective dimension and the spiritual/subjective dimension. So far I've only heard people either totally subjective or totally objective sound their views. I think a third holistic view could see that the reality we live in has both objective and subjective layers, that the dimensions coexist and even overlap a bit.

The reason why SOME people feel safer in a totally objective world may be because they are in a phase of life that is meant to see the concrete view of things. I can't imagine skipping over concrete science, math, logic, and going to pure airy subjective reality while growing up and forming our view of the world. I think that objective nature of parts of reality might be the more FUNDAMENTAL (not juvenile view, MartialDev) aspect of life on earth, and that subjective parts are meant to be figured out later, as the icing on the cake.

So I think that reality is both layered with objective and subjective dimensions, and that discovering them happens phase-wise as we learn.

But anyways, on this forum, I think that it's futile to try to convince Radical and other purely objective people of the subjective aspect of reality until they finds it out themselves through action. You can't really argue someone into believing in subjective reality, they have to live it and find out themselves. Obviously he very strongly believes in something, and if exploring the world with a purely objective frame of reference is what he wants to do, maybe that's what he's supposed to do right now.
