HS, your remonstrations to the contrary notwithstanding, I find nothing in your last posts that provide convincing evidence that any human being can be truly objective.
I quoted Hayakawa to demonstrate that every commonly used word to describe "honest" conversation is tainted with subjectivity. And words, after all, are simply the summation of our comprehensive abilities, and therefore a self-description of our nature.
Again, I query: wherefrom comes the compulsion to convince others that we are being objective?
One answer (I alluded to it above) is that Western civilization is permeated with the Aristotleian concept (or, consequences of interpretation of that concept) that everything is provable, eventually; the so-called scientific method. Thus, we tend (by social approval and cultural conditioning) to elevate what we perceive to be "purely cerebral" analyses as being an objective reflection of truth.
This process is itself subjective, and promotes subjectivism.
Another answer (a subset of the above) is that as JWs we were taught to utilize, think in terms of, and teach others, by the "proof-text" methodology. And now, on the flip side of the same coin, we as exJWs frequently employ the same techniques, for the same reasons: To prove a point.
This process is equally subjective.
I'm not trying to just stupidly argue about the meanings of words here: I honestly believe that no human can be objective, and that our healthiest option is simply to face that, and feel the freedom within ourselves to admit it.
