      It came up as part of my Extension History class in Year 12, with reference to assessing historical sources, and I quickly became obsessed.

      Shocking nobody, teenage!me was exactly the kind of nerd to occasionally write essays for pleasure on topics I liked. This was one of them.

      What fascinated me was the realisation that, while objective facts clearly existed, all human perspectives were inherently subjective.

      This means: a) subjective beliefs can be confused with objective truths; and b) objective truths can be dismissed as subjective beliefs.

      But what this also means, as I soon realised, is that this very fact puts those who acknowledge their own subjectivity at a disadvantage.

      If you acknowledge that people are flawed and can't always be objective, then you're acknowledging your own potential bias. Sensible, right?

      But if you believe that your beliefs are objectively correct and true - that YOU are objective - you never have to acknowledge your biases.

      So: in any argument btwn an objectivist & a subjectivist, the subjectivist is disadvantaged, b/c BOTH agree the s'vist is potentially wrong.

      As such, the subjectivist's intellectual honesty means that, if they declare the objectivist wrong, the objectivist can call it hypocrisy.

      Which is so immensely frustrating! Because it should, fairly, be OBVIOUS that nobody is inherently right *all the time*. AND YET.

      Acknowledging subjectivity, to the objectivist, is frequently & falsely strawmanned as either "nothing is real" or "morality is relative".

          This is why, for instance, Creationists think it's hypocritical of scientists to teach evolution, but not creationism. Their logic says:

          "If science can self-correct and admit the possibility of error, then LOGICALLY *any* theory must be as valid as any other, including mine!"
