Why Objectivity Is A False Paradigm
It is not uncommon in current days to aim for objectivity. 

Objectivity is both impossible and undesirable. 

I am not saying that subjectivity is the goal. 

What also goes with objectivity, oftentimes, is the black and white thinking that either you are objective, or subjective. There is no inbetween. 

If objectivity is the goal, then you would want to be at all times fully objective. 

What is it to be objective? 
It's to consider the situation from a "standing back", enlarged viewpoint that sees more than your current, busy, presumably self-reflective viewpoint, one which might not correlate with realty. 

Reality is that which exists. 

That begets a question:
Don't you exist? 

The importance of that question is that if you exist, then you are, or are part of, reality. How then can you contend that you are not objective - that you exist? 

Yet, it is not about your physical body that you speak, but about how you view the world. Aren't you the subject, here? 

Would that mean that your view of the world is objective (your body) and subjective (your mind)? Or, objective-subjective? 

Can you have a body without having a mind? 
Can you have a mind without a body? 

And then consider the focus of SJWs: 
Everything is subjective. 

This denial of the existence of common co- creative reality - physicality (their aim is to maximize emotional comfort, a mental attribute) - means that they are operating with a subjective-objective mindset - subjectivity is the goal. 

Going toward either full objectivity or full subjectivity is a denial of how we have both a body (physical, objective) and mind (mental, subjective). 

To aim for full objectivity is to theorize your existence... out of existence. 

To aim for full subjectivity is to aim for material comforts at the cost of destroying everyone and everything around you.

You might find my post about objectivism interesting. I just authored it a few hours ago, and was scrolling through and I found this. 

I disagree with your reasoning, however. You said that it may or may not correlate with your existence. I think objectivity is about facts. And I personally do subscribe to black-and-white models. Clearly defined rules, lines, or morals can be used to navigate any grey area. 

Once again, just my opinion.

Hello @picokernel. 

I have spent a lot of time thinking about this model of picturing the universe and time and space. 
Recently, I've come into attention of a new way of thinking that combines two ways of thought that I wasn't expecting, so I've slightly altered my perception regarding subjectivity and objectivity. 

Principally involved in this is the book [Biocentrism](http://amzn.to/2k4wblB). 

However, I'd like to focus on something else at this moment: 
You assert that you can be objective. 
Now, what I assume you mean by that is applying logic and rules consistently. 

This cannot be done with government, as I'll show: 
Exhibit A:
The first Ayn Rand quote -
""A government is the means of placing the retaliatory use of physical force under objective control—i.e., under objectively defined laws."" 

It does not matter if you have objectively-defined laws. 
Laws are not enforced by objectivists. 
Laws are enforced by hired thugs - the police, and the laws, regardless of how iron-clad they may be, can be ignored at will. The only thing that changes is whether the cop or whoever enforces it or not, and that's not going to be an objective decision. 

Likewise, there is no possibility of avoiding this issue. 
With any systematically involuntary action, thugs will always exist. 
What do you suppose they are the result of?

Exhibit B:
""The only proper purpose of a government is to protect man’s rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence. A proper government is only a policeman, acting as an agent of man’s self-defense, and, as such, may resort to force only against those who start the use of force."" 

Let's translate that into what it is, shall we?

"The only proper purpose of a[n inherently unaccountable social institution that is defended on the basis of blind belief] is to protect man’s rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence[, even though the existence of this inherently unaccountable social institution is the prime cause of something like 95% (the majority) of physical violence, if not simply the threat thereof to ascertain resources]. A proper [inherently unaccountable social institution that is defended on the basis of blind belief] is only a policeman[, someone who can murder people and get a paid vacation for it, as well as a defense of his actions by the general population], acting as an agent of man’s self-defense[, since being alive or free is a coercive and deadly force against man], and, as such, may resort to force only against those who start the use of force[, because taxation is not theft, and thus a threat of the violation of this very idea of not using force first, since it will be if the money is not given]." 

Your statements in relation to the quote do not reflect the idea of the quotes at all:
"I defined government in these terms because I wish to communicate that it's not up to a government enforcer to build communities. It's not up to the powerful to increase the social and economic prosperity of a group of people. This is instead, the position of the individuals themselves. The whales are not responsible for the community, they are members of the community. They should do what's in their self-interest and only what's in their self-interest, as should you."

The rest of this is devoted to the combination of the idea and impact of the steemit economic design in relation to whales and the community as a whole being a specific portion of the internet, having gathered around based on mutual interest, which is a different ideological atmosphere. 

I appreciate your post and this interaction. I hope you see you around again and to interact with you again as well. We could talk of much.
