In my reality, it doesn't hurt when I hit my toe with a hammer....OW

This is for those who think reality is subjective, Prodigee says that "whatever you say is true for you" but no matter what you believe drinking bleach is not good for you and hitting yourself with a hammer is going to hurt.

Objective reality exists because reality and perception are two different things. There's (one) the world we live in, and (two) the world you think we live in. Reality and perception, simple as.

Your fragile ego can't handle how little you know. You don't even know how wrong you are.

they aren't dead because when they were dead they weren't around to perceive their death.

Dead people aren’t dead because they aren’t around to perceive their death because they are dead....brilliant.

You can mock it

No I can't, it's just your subjective perception that I can.

your mockery is

No it's not, nothing "is" anything because that's just a subjective perception.

but to the smarter among us, it's not.

Smarter people are only subjectively smarter.

Pain is subjective

It is? So you mean it's the objective truth that it's subjective?

I think you are conflating experience with reality.

Pain is subjective

Fair enough.

However, the damage to the body is objective.

Consider:

A friend of mine had knee surgery, was given some VERY effective pain medication, and told not to walk or put his weight on his knees for 24 hours. He woke up in the middle of the night and walked to the bathroom pain free.

His subjective experience was that there was no pain, but the objective reality was that he was ripping out the stitches in his knees.

According to who did the painful event even occur? Only if anyone was around to experience it will it be real.
