Reflections on The Way of The Outsider

X: Absolute objectivity is a false
doctrine. In the quest for knowledge, the knower cannot be separated from the
known. What the knower perceives is inescapably conditioned by his
subjectivity.
Y: If absolute objectivity was a 'false
doctrine', then there would be no science in the world.
X: There would be no science as we know it
today. If we could overcome the illusion of objectivity and the 'scientific'
tendency to disregard that which cannot be verified by the outward eye, then
we'd develop a more wholesome way of knowing. Science would cease to be
something that you do, or a state of mind that you adopt, it would be The Way
you Exist.
