In practice, an objective universe observed subjectively is significantly different to a genuinely subjective universe.
An objective universe affects the observer in an objective way, regardless of the observer's perceptions. In an objective universe, if someone shoots you in the back of the head, you may not have perceived it coming, but you're still just as dead.
In a genuinely subjective universe OTOH, your perceptions
are reality.
I grant that it is impossible to prove whether the universe is truly subjective or objective (or something else entirely). But it's a big mistake to assume that, just because our perceptions are subjective that
there's no difference between the two types of reality.
