Subjective:Objective - A quick note on knowledge.

I'm going to try and keep this short. I also do not mean this pejoratively, it's simply my own stream of thought.

The idea that reality is subjective is dependent on objective knowledge - Arguing that reality is subjective is dependent on the use of knowledge (which is supposedly subjective) and thought processes that require identification.

To say "Reality IS subjective" is to define reality. In making such a statement, we are defining our terms - We are characterizing reality as such. - We are making the notion "reality is subjective" an objective term. - Something with definition and definition (by it's own... definition) cannot vary or it is not defined. Understanding such definition is knowledge.

"Reality is Subjective" is a contradiction in terms.
