Episode 4181:
Steve Pavlina explains why the question of whether reality is objective or subjective can never be settled from inside a conscious mind, since either kind of reality could be simulating the other.

It is a personal development exercise in holding two perspectives without needing one of them to win.

Quotes to ponder:
"A subjective reality can simulate an objective one, and vice versa."
"Any event that you can describe objectively will have an equivalent subjective explanation, and vice versa."
"Hence it makes sense to live in alignment with both possibilities."
