How can science be objective if our reality is subjective?

Double dubs.

Reality is constructed in our brains. Science is essentially exploiting our senses which were strictly developed to help the propagation of information (DNA) through time.
>>
>>8055416
No, you have it completely backwards. Reality is objective. Our conceptions of it are, by definition, subjective. Science is the constant attempt to make our subjective conceptions of the reality more objective and accurate. There is only one reality and subjectivity is simply the necessary effect of being singular parts of that reality with specific vantage points.

dude what if were in the matrix holy shit

as objective as you assume it to be

it's true though

>>8055529
you are simply not capable of comprehending science or mathematics

A wise man once told me objective truth as well as falsification principle are red herring, it's all about predictive power/heuristics/educated guesses and so on. To me that sounds like the best goal you can ever set for yourself whether you're an existentialist or (whatever the opposite of an existentalist is) etc. It proves "by doing", it doesn't make you feel like a loser because you don't have to feel badman if it doesn't hit every outlying nail on its head, it's life and human confirming plus it brings you closer to abandoning, well let's call them universals (metaphysics) for now because I lack vocabulary for such topics.

OP What if I told you that all of science in math was basically just heuristics, a guess if you will?

>>8055438
he didn't say reality, he said 'our reality' which can only ever be subjective. do u even Kant?
>>
Reality is not subjective. It's objective, which is why science works and why we need science.
Our PERCEPTION of reality is subjective. Major difference.

You have to account for what I explained here to see it's not objective: >>8055570

If everything is "subjective" then why are you insisting in a distinction of "subjective" vs "objective"? You are incoherent.

By averaging the experiences of our subjective reality we can reach an approximation of objective reality. This is the purpose of peer review and replicating experiments.

Our reality is objective, we all live in the same reality. Our view of reality is subjective. Learn the difference. There's a common misconception that Einstein's relativity implies different realities for different people. Relativity is in fact a theory of an objective reality, in which different reference frames experience the exact same reality differently. Spacetime in relativity is objective and real, and we can conceptualize two frames of reference experiencing the same thing differently as part of an objective phenomenon.

There's nothing to be proven, it's just semantics and we choose how to define them

That doesn't mean they're always helpful on comprehending certain topics

Concepts and their meaning are defined by us to be useful in our context, it's illogical to ask for proof of if a word's signifiance is similar to another's
