And it isn't that it doesn't mean anything to everyone else. All of the derivatives are critically acclaimed.
Hym "No. It's objectively good to everyone else. I have the best taste. Objectively. Better than everyone else. The things I like and the reasons I like them are better than the things everyone else likes and we now have an observable metric by which we can judge my taste and can conclude that it's better than everyone. Women, TV, Drugs, Food. I'm the ultimate taste-haver! I'm like that guy from the french detective show who smells real good. Except for taste. But not, like, physically tasting things... Just like... Having taste IN things. You could make a detective show about THAT actually. I could solve crimes and throughout the episodes I would, like, suggest things to people like 'You should try the steak tartare' and the guy would be like 'Oh shit, wow! That is pretty good! You must know a lot about cooking or whatever.' And I'd be all 'Nah dawg, I just got really good taste- WAIT! I found a clue! It was the butler all along!' But the butler doesn't want to go down without a fight KAPOW! KAPOW! KAPOW! Cracked his ass! But wait! He's wearing Kevlar! Oh no! Secret bookcase tunnel! He escapes! He's like a Moriarty or something! I'll get you next time Moriarty-Butler!"

The core challenge in science and philosophy: how to distinguish an objective claim (true independent of observers) from a subjective one (dependent on a point of view). Since all observation is theory-laden and filtered through human senses and instruments, pure objectivity might be an impossible ideal. The "problem" is that every method we create to ensure objectivity (double-blind trials, peer review) is itself a socially constructed process. We demarcate the objective as that which survives these constructed filters, but the line is always provisional.
Example: "Two scientists saw the same data curve. One called it random noise; the other, a significant signal. The Objectivity Demarcation Problem is that their prior beliefs—their subjective 'priors'—dictated where they drew the line. Their argument wasn't about the data, but about where to place the demarcation between objective pattern and subjective illusion. Even statistics, our tool for objectivity, requires a subjective choice: the p-value threshold."

Objectivity Bias

The mistaken belief that a truly "objective" perspective is possible or necessary for valid knowledge, used to dismiss viewpoints that are explicitly situated, personal, or experiential. It ignores that all observation is theory-laden and all knowers have a position. This bias falsely equates impartiality with truth, often to delegitimize marginalized voices whose "objectivity" has been historically denied by the very systems they critique.
Example: Dismissing a Indigenous community's knowledge about local ecosystem changes because it's "anecdotal" and "not objective science," while privileging sparse satellite data, commits Objectivity Bias. It rejects a deep, situated observational history in favor of a distant, "neutral" measurement that may miss crucial, on-the-ground nuances.

Objectivity Bias

A cognitive bias where a person believes their own views constitute objective reality, unbiased facts, and neutral truth—while dismissing anyone who disagrees as biased, delusional, psychotic, or schizophrenic. Unlike confirmation bias (seeking evidence that confirms existing beliefs), objectivity bias is meta-cognitive: it's not just about what you believe, but about how you evaluate your own believing. The objectivity-bias sufferer doesn't think they have a perspective; they think they have the perspective. Everyone else is distorted by ideology, emotion, or mental illness. This bias is epidemic in the 2020s, where political discourse has become a hall of mirrors: each side sees itself as clear-eyed realists and the other as brainwashed cult members. Objectivity bias makes dialogue impossible because it pathologizes disagreement—if you're not seeing reality, you must be crazy, not just different.
Example: "He couldn't understand how anyone could disagree with his political views. It wasn't that they had different values or information; they were simply 'brainwashed,' 'delusional,' 'living in an alternate reality.' Objectivity bias had convinced him that his perspective was not a perspective but reality itself. Everyone else was biased; he was just correct. The irony was invisible to him, which is how objectivity bias works."

Objective Truth Bias

A variation of truth bias where one assumes that their truth is not just true but objectively true—true independent of any perspective, any context, any observer. Objective Truth Bias is the belief that one has access to the view from nowhere, the God's-eye perspective, the way things really are. It's the bias of those who think they're not biased, who think their judgments are pure reflections of reality. Objective Truth Bias is the favorite bias of scientists who forget they're human, of philosophers who think they've escaped history, of everyone who has ever said "just the facts" as if facts weren't interpreted.
Example: "He presented his analysis as 'just the objective truth.' Objective Truth Bias meant he never had to examine his assumptions, his context, his perspective. His truth wasn't a truth; it was the truth. When she pointed out that other reasonable people saw things differently, he dismissed them as biased. The irony was invisible to him, which is how it worked."
