RE: Please do not conflate FACT and OPINION
Objectivity - Utterly free of and existing independently from any possible subjective feelings, opinions and/or any prejudice; indisputable and seen identically by all possible observers; not subject to variation, change or interpretation.
so.... 1+1 = 2?
Is this objectively true?
If not , how so?
Mathematics is an abstract framework that is only meaningful to humans who have been initiated.
It is not seen identically by all possible observers. Those symbols are meaningless squiggles to anyone and anything that has not been taught their meaning.
If so, then it proves that objective truth does, in fact, exist.
No it does not.
Even mathematics cannot escape sample-bias.
For example,
Mathematics is the language of the universe.
We didn't make it up, we just discovered it. Humans have that capability.
You add up 1+1 for the rest of your life, with all your friends, and repeat the experiment, every minute, of every day, for the rest of your lives.
If you ever come up with a different answer, get back to me.
That experiment - for all intents and purposes of existing in the real world - because we exist in the real world defines an objective reality.
