Everything is subjective because our experience of the world is mediated by our own individual minds. This means that our perceptions, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs are all colored by our own unique experiences and perspectives.

For example, the color red is objectively a wavelength of light, but our subjective experience of red can vary widely depending on factors such as our individual eye physiology, the context in which we see red, and our own personal associations with the color.

Similarly, the taste of chocolate is objectively a combination of chemical compounds, but our subjective experience of chocolate can vary depending on factors such as our individual taste buds, the type of chocolate we are eating, and our own personal preferences.

Even our experiences of objective physical phenomena, such as pain or temperature, can be subjective. For example, two people with the same physical injury may experience different levels of pain, and two people in the same room may perceive the temperature differently.

Our subjectivity is not limited to our sensory experiences and physical perceptions. It also extends to our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. For example, two people might read the same book and come away with different interpretations. Or, two people might have the same experience, but one person might experience it as positive and the other person might experience it as negative.

So, how can everything be subjective if there is an objective reality out there? The answer is that we can never directly access objective reality. We can only experience it through our own subjective lenses.

This does not mean that our subjective experiences are not real or valid. It simply means that they are unique to each individual and cannot be generalized to others.

Here are some examples of how subjectivity manifests in different areas of our lives:

Morality: What is right and wrong is often subjective, as different cultures and individuals have different moral values.

Aesthetics: What is beautiful or ugly is also subjective, as different people have different tastes.

Humor: What is funny is also subjective, as different people have different senses of humor.

Truth: Even truth can be subjective, as our understanding of truth is often based on our own individual experiences and perspectives.

Implications of subjectivity

The realization that everything is subjective can have a profound impact on our lives. It can help us to become more tolerant of others' opinions and beliefs, and to be more open to different perspectives. It can also help us to appreciate the richness and diversity of human experience.

Conclusion

While the fact that everything is subjective can be challenging at times, it is also a source of great beauty and wonder. Our subjectivity allows us to experience the world in our own unique way, and to create our own meaning and purpose in life.

haskell is one of the most functional functional languages ever. its really terse notation and because it generally doesn't use temporary variables, only "pure functions" which copy everything, the compilations can use huge amounts of memory.

yes, the cli version of simplex you have to type the username prefix to every message send, it doesn't have a channel modal interfacing or TUI.

I do not trust unnecessary centralized intermediaries with my freedom of speech

are you running simplex through it directly?

I haven't noticed a pattern yet. In the Nostriches group, we found that we all had different numbers for users in the group. Dropped messages have been confirmed with screenshots, and I've detected dropped messages about 3-5 times from noticing people posting to messages I have not seen.

It sucks, because I really liked the features that were promoted, and now I can't trust it as a communication tool. I definetly cannot recommend it to others. 😥

most likely related to long lived connections. this problem has existed in Tor since forever, and made me lose hope in it back in 2007 (i was early).

i haven't had a lot of need to use it yet but it's there.

also, the CLI version is pretty awesome, tbh i'd use it preferentially.

nutty project though - the protocol core is written in Haskell!

possessions, social millieu, fame, praise, conveniences.

Then I would agree.

Yes, I'm using "success" in the mainstream hustling world definition: chasing of career, money, possessions, fame...

Not for a worthy cause, etc.

i only resisted for lack of desktop app but that's solved now.

And dropped messages.

chasing the trappings of success perhaps?

I think it's the "chasing" part.

Yeah calander more accurate than atomic clock apparently. Interesting for sure. Ancient 👽 ?
