I recently read the "what is reality?" thread and it made me wonder what an objective reality would be like.
So, I saved 2 pictures of mugs ( I don't know if that's the right word...we call them cans in romania) to prove my point.
So, the first one:
It's your average default mug, nothing special about it.
The second one, a valentines day mug, this one stops being default, you probably won't have the same reaction to this mug, as you had to the default mug. Mainly because of it's significance.
So one might like Valentine's day mugs, because he might have pleasant Valentine's day memories, or maybe he hates those mugs, because they're fucking stupid.
In an objective reality the first mug would be pretty equal to the second mug. The second mug won't have any attached meaning to it, it would be just a mug, with different colors and heart shaped things on it. No big deal. An alien mug, since the heart shaped handles and the bright colors would make no sense.
So all the things we love or hate, would pretty much be nonsense, if we were actually objective. Many things would be stripped of their meaning.
There would be no beautiful/ugly people, no meaningful songs, no art, nothing human actually.
There would be no good things resulting from love, and no bad things resulting from hate, since these things would cease to exist.
