This can be objectively proven. I didn't say that "I am sitting in a red chair" can be objectively proven. I said that there are no such things as objective facts -- only things that people will agree or disagree on. The things everyone will agree on, we call "objective facts". The few people who won't agree on these "objective facts" we call "insane" or "colorblind" or what have you. But these "objective facts" are really no more "objective" than any other opinions -- they are just nearly universally held opinions. |>oug "L is for LEO who swallowed some tacks"
