In the context of us perceiving.....

1. If one makes the statement (and agrees with it) "I perceive 'subjectively' and can only perceive subjectively," then everything is subjective to you.
"I perceive subjectively" means "I perceive in a way that is subjective" not "the content or object of my perception is subjective." There is a difference between the nature of perception and it's content/object.

No, it's impossible to perceive objectively. But it's not a contradiction to say that I can subjectively perceive an objective universe any more than it's a contradiction to say "this is a red book with white pages."

I'd rather discuss them than argue for them. If my tone sounds argumentative then I apologize.
