subjectively objective

When you pose a statement as an opinion, but you know it's absolutely a fact

Subject 1: We've been going to Five Guys all month, let's do Wendy's for once.
Subject 2: We can't, because Five Guys is the only correct option, but that's just my subjectively objective opinion.

Maglione objective

A statement made using the word “objective” while simultaneously being completely subjective and inaccurate. Most cases include alarmingly cold takes, and shockingly one sided bias with no factual grounds to make the claim.

Objectively speaking, the 9th round is the best round to take a QB” Tyler stated with blind confidence

“Oh no you claimed to be objective, yet you used Maglione objective instead. Not only are you wrong, you’re stuck trying to sell how good Jared Goff is all year because no one wants to trade for that dogshit player”

Fallacy of Objective Reality

The fallacy of assuming that one's own perception of reality is simply "objective reality," and that anyone who disagrees is either mistaken, deluded, or lying. This fallacy collapses the distinction between appearance and reality, treating one's own perspective as the perspective. It's the epistemological version of the objectivity bias: not just believing you're right, but believing that rightness is not a matter of perspective at all—that you have direct access to the way things really are. The Fallacy of Objective Reality is beloved of those who have never encountered a worldview different from their own, or who have encountered it and found it threatening. It makes dialogue impossible because disagreement becomes not difference but error, not alternative but falsehood.

Example: "He didn't think his political views were views—they were just 'reality.' When she presented a different perspective, he didn't engage; he explained why she was wrong to see what she saw. The Fallacy of Objective Reality meant that her experience, her evidence, her reasoning—all were invalid because they didn't match his 'reality.' She gave up arguing; he declared victory."

Hard Problem of Objective Truth

The philosophical nightmare of defining what "objective truth" even means, given that all truth claims are made by subjective beings with limited perspectives. If truth is correspondence to reality, how do we access reality directly to check the correspondence? If truth is coherence within a system, whose system wins? If truth is pragmatic usefulness, useful for whom and for what? The Hard Problem is that every definition of objective truth seems to sneak in subjective assumptions, leaving us wondering whether "objective truth" is a real thing we're approximating or a useful fiction that keeps us honest.

Hard Problem of Objective Truth "You keep saying you want 'objective truth' about politics. But the Hard Problem of Objective Truth is that your 'objectivity' looks suspiciously like your personal opinions with better branding. Maybe start with 'less wrong' and work from there."
