And objective truth is precisely HALF of the relevant truth.
Assuming other people exist as equals, of course?
Any evidence to the contrary of people’s equal worth seems to be subjective. Or rigged to use objective metrics in the attainment of subjectively motivated goals.
But that is inherently not subject to, as you said:
There can be no formal logic of yours, in someone elses head. Your imagination is nobodies responsibility but your own.
You must, in truth, take their word for it, or at least ask them questions instead of telling them why their experience is objectively irrelevant. Which is something you do, and it’s rude, and taken as provocative because it does cross boundaries… just becase YOU don’t have them there does not imply the correctness of what other people ought to like being talked to like.
That’s my 2 cents. And I am not immune to my own criticism. Be the change.

No kidding. That’s why I try to explain that people do not directly know what each other think. I thought I had been explicit on this point.
I wonder if you might be misunderstanding my methodology here. People’s experience seems directly relevant to themelves. This doesn’t preclude it from appearing to be relevant to others, but only an abstracted, indirect way. Just because this implies that people cannot fundamentally know much about each other need not make it an imposition. Social life is objectively irrelevant, when it is entirely based upon subjectivity. This does not make it a lie, or irrelevant, this makes it subjective. I think the species as a whole seems to suffer from a degree of megalomania, a pervasive desire to project their subjective states onto the world at large. It seems more accurate, empowering, and civilized to encourage people to accept their subjectivity for what it is. But I am aware that some probably find this notion disagreeable.
I do try to be polite, but am apparently not very successful. I need to review my comments here to ascertain if I might have been obnoxious.
