[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4636729, member: 63706"] How can it be my fault that someone misunderstands me? I'm not in their head, I can't force them to read the words as written and not twist them. Objectivity doesn't change regardless of the context. It all comes back to my original point. To say that opinion or perspective on a matter is more important than the matter itself is to say that there is no meaning, there is no objective reality, there is no truth. You say you are against nihilism, but denying objective reality in favor of your opinion on a matter is either nihilism or hubris. If opinion outweighs fact, then there is no objective reality, because reality is whatever any particular person believes it to be. But this is all demonstrably false. The problem is that you have to solve the problem of solipsism in order to be able to accept the idea of objective reality. So, again, I'll ask, can you come up with a logical argument against the concept of solipsism? Not your opinion on it, not what your "experts" say. An argument based on logic whereby you can overcome the hurdle of solipsism. I have come up with two that I think are pretty solid, and a few that are kinda weak. Also, I wasn't really arguing about masks. I was explaining why I'm right. [/QUOTE]
