Paradox of subjectivity

[BurnedOut]

Born with the same tools to live life but naturally different experiences due to minor differences in endowments. Is subjectivity a result of unequal distribution of circumstances and interpretation and if it is, why is it not possible to resolve differences because ultimately we all have the same instruments of consciousness? Is subjectivity an excuse for not being objective enough for being lazy about collecting more perspectives or the acceptance of the fact that no information can be enough? Or is it that our personal preferences and tastes and distastes make us entirely different human beings despite having the same faculties? But does having the same faculties in different circumstances makes it bulletproof from amalgamating its effects or does it change the overall nature of those faculties?

This has important connotations for conflict resolutions at any level of socialization. Do you resolve the differences via commonalities or is it a competition of who has it worse and who has it better? But if it is only a case of power inequality, does that make subjectivity a problem of insecurity or something inherent in human behavior?

why is it not possible to resolve differences

self-control takes time to develop

for this reason, people oppose things that are hard to understand in others

Wealth gives me no reason for jealousy, I just believe people have what they do because they did something to get to where they are and that we shouldn't judge others, the only rightful business we have is to be autonomous within our own choices as to build wealth if we want it and not compare ourselves with anyone else.

If you can develop the attitude to be happy for others for what they have, it increases your own wealth. Appeciating what we do have. You don't know what pain or issues those people have, they don't want you to know about, so, don't be jealous of money. See if you can just be happy being you and appreciate simplicity, like breathing or being alive are enough. Say, I am enough.

I do have jealousies about extroverted and physically attractive people that can be very loved for what they do and say.
I was always marginalized by both wealth and popularity, but with wealth, I can change that and don't feel slighted by it in any way.

I guess the only material thing I could be longing for / lacking would be a Craftsman Bungalow style home in California.
Because there is something about that style of house that brings life alive to me, as if the house itself is the joy you need in life? As if there are roses growing at every window and the world is beautiful.

But happiness can be sleeping on a park bench with nothing, its whatever you like.

I done that.

I don't know, sounds like you are saying something, along the lines of if you like strawberries and I like apples are different people?
Probably not.
But if we live different lifestyles we also end up having different perspectives, values, priorities outlooks, and thus this idea of homogeneous person that fits well in society is bunk.
If there is something new today its the fact diverse life of people creates diverse people.
We still live with the mindset of "fit into culture type thing" but we actually have various lifestyles that are world apart.
A surfer and streamer are really different people? Unless they do both, but it used to be that there was like one black smith, one baker, and 100 people in the village who had a house and farmed.
We have so much more diverse existence subjectively and objectively.

I remember when people who knew how to work on computers were viewed as aliens.

this idea of homogeneous person that fits well in society is bunk.

I think it is more about people not understanding things and then saying they are impossible.

scorpiomover did not believe computers had improved at all over the past 20 years even though they have.

flatearthers do not believe the geography of the earth is a spheroid.

people thought injecting bleach would cure COVID-19.

some people think we know nothing about the brain and psychology.

bible people think the flood covered all the earth, it fact the oceans only increased by 100 feet. this did not happen in a period of 40 days and nights, it was because the glaciers melted 12 thousand years ago.

some physicists think brain cells are not there until you cut open the skull and observe them because they interpret quantum physics poorly.

some think intelligence is nonphysical.

Jordan Peterson said that objective truth does not exist but only if it helps spread your genes is it true. if you die then truth cannot be confirmed to exist afterwards.

so yes, people are diverse but they are also wrong and they cannot be convinced otherwise of what is actually true. people see the world work a certain way and believe that is how it is when it is just in their heads and not true.
