In Reply to: You're a masochist if you continue down the "objective-subjective" ancient philosophical trail. posted by tinear on September 12, 2014 at 10:09:41:
Philosophers, traditionally, had no access into the nervous system that provides us our perception of reality. The neural perspective fundamentally changes the argument about objective vs. subjective. This isn't an argument about whether an object exists; it's an argument about the interpretation of sensory signals from said object.
