If childhood is half of subjective life, how should that change how we live?

The so-called #audiophile community is famous for the amount of #woo that passes for knowledge or expertise.

When you look at the DIY audio community - building things up from #electronic components or modules - you add in the cargo-cult processes used by people with no basic electronics knowledge building these things, and the false-but-confident beliefs of those with some knowledge but more assurance of their own intelligence 🙄 - and you get some real doozies in discussion threads [1] on audio/electronics fora.

I just came across one that will stick with me:

A: I saw some people are doing <X> to increase the bass from this little amp. Should I do it?

B (actually knowledgeable): Depends on the design. If it's lacking <Y>, it can help the subjective bass response of the amp.

C (overly confident): BS! OBJECTIVELY (!) you get more and better boom.
Boom-boom, you know? Your guts will tell you the objective truth.

... that is LITERALLY the definition of "subjective". 🤣

[1] A.K.A. arguments on the instalment plan.

Good, bad, right and wrong are subjective and relative to perspective.

Sometimes you don't have to pick a side on any topic. It doesn't always have to be us versus them.

I'm tryna understand social media. All of these sites subjectively block random innocent words and pics while allowing very blatantly divisive words and pics. I don't understand how any of them gauge what's good or appropriate or not.

I'm not online to stand on soap boxes, but I don't know what I can or should put on anyone's servers... private or decentralized.

Alot of this doesn't feel real. Maybe that's just the internet.
