I personally believe that there is an objective reality that we all comprise, but at our core we are subjective beings. So the reality we perceive is subjective within that framework.

A friend of mine and I took a philosophy class in college. On the first day, our instructor sat an empty chair at the front of the room. Then he said we had to write an essay in response to the question: "Is the chair really there?" We were given most of class to write it. My friend turned his in after only a few minutes, while I took up almost 20.

When time was up, the instructor gathered and graded the papers right there. He then said that most of us got B's and C's, while one student got an A. That student was my friend (btw, I got a B).

After class, I asked my friend what he had written so fast that earned him an A. He said he only wrote two words:

"What chair?"

but in all honesty you all knew the chair was there,to say its not would be denying logic and reality,no?
