Is reality subjective or objective?

Is reality fundamentally subjective, shaped by personal experiences and perceptions, or is it objective, existing independently of human consciousness? Could reality be a combination of the two? How do developments in fields like neuroscience, quantum physics, and philosophy challenge traditional notions of reality, and what implications do these challenges have for our pursuit of knowledge, meaning, and truth?"

The only thing you can be certain of is your own mind, literally everything else could just be an illusion

Thales had it figured out when he said that reality is water. The past 2500 years have just been humans getting further and further away from that fundamental truth.

I think you'll want to sit down for this one.

This is a possibility. And there's no way to prove it. Just try not to think about it too much. 😵‍💫
 
Above the nanometer scale an objective reality as we generally think of it exists, which is largely inaccessible to humans. Through precise tools we can see the near objective reality, to the point where the difference between it and true objective reality becomes essentially irrelevant. But, true objective reality will always be beyond the grasp of humanity.

At the nanometer scale and below, quantum mechanics predominates natural interactions and states that compose what we generally think of as an "objective" reality. As such, our operative definition of "objective" reality breaks down. This is because the level of certainty for a given property or value that we generally associate with objectivity is no longer definable within the typical boundaries and limits by which it would usually be measured.

I think the fact the unexpected has happened shows reality is objective, and that the idea that consciousness makes reality is false.

I'd say reality is objective. It just exists as it is.

How we perceive it is subjective, since we are relatively limited in how we can measure it, and are still developing technologies to better approximate it. Maybe physics as how we understand it doesn't work precisely the same as a point sextillion light years away.
 
This reads like a ChatGPT prompt.
It's clearly copied from somewhere given the odd quotation mark at the end, and Brightstar's well known incapacity to write coherent and grammatically correct posts by himself. I've been trying to track down where he stole his most recent fluff threads, but he apparently stopped copying blogs and Quora questions and probably started to have ChatGPT write some "I'm 13 and this is deep" level philosophy questions.
