Objection Quantum physics might seem contradictory, and in fact it is with traditional logic, but if one uses quantum logic, which theoretical physicists have developed and which is the same as traditional logic other than abandoning the law of commutativity, there are not any contradictions in it at all.Schrödinger came up with this thought experiment to mock quantum physics shortly before he quit. Objection Particles and organisms don't follow the same rules of physics.Objection If a particle or set of particles in quantum physics can be in 2 different contradictory states at the same time, as in the Schrödinger's cat paradox, that could be considered evidence to the contrary.Argument for There is no evidence that objective reality doesn't exist, so Occam's razor suggests we ought to accept it as the simplest possible explanation for reality.This argument takes subjective ideas to be objective, and draws assumptions from them. Objection Is it necessarily true that we share a similar physical brain structure? Certainly, according to science, this is very true, but that says nothing about the existence of an objective reality, because where science comes from is perceived, whether directly by us or through the measurements and assumptions we make, which is an inherently subjective process.We can confirm that we are processing the same sensory information. The way an individual's brain "presents" sensory data is unknowable and irrelevant because it remains discrete.The majority will agree when identifying the primary colors. Objection Yes, agreement of description does necessarily imply objectivity.Half the population would see a different color than the other half. Note that there would be a clear subjectivity of how we view the environment. Objection Does agreement of description necessarily imply objectivity? Imagine if half of humankind saw the color "green" as the color "red".This fact is reasonably attributable to there being a single external reality, while at the same time multiple various internal realities whose differences are a result of various nervous systems functioning with various experiences. The fact that two people, located side by side, and looking in the same direction, describe similarly what they see, reasonably indicates that they are reacting to a single external reality. Argument for All humans have physically similar brains and nervous systems, which result in similar interpretations of the same stimuli.So objective reality is here, but unless it is 'rendered' on consciousness, it is formless. The scenario is there, but unless it is rendered on the screen, it is formless. This has lots of similarities with a computer rendered game. Only when observed by a mind, there is form. So we could say, that objective reality is formless. Can you see the difficulty? Anything related to experience, like form, weight, heat, color, beauty, etc, is dependent on a mind. Are any of these events depending on some mind? It is actually hard to state a purely objective reality example, as one needs to describe it in concepts that are interpreted by the mind. For example: while no one is nearby, a meteor crashes into a car, putting it on flames, leaving only a pile of ashes. Objective (Physical) reality means that something is actual (so it exists) independent of the mind but is established by consensus.Would you say that the experience of beauty is dependent or independent of the mind? Would the experience of the form in general of the flower be dependent on the mind? For example: someone walks by a flower and experiences the beauty of the flower. Subjective (Individual) reality means that something is actual depending on the mind.
