objectivity

Description

Objectivity boasts respect for perspectives beyond oneself, yet ultimately serves as an elegant cloak to conceal one’s own biases. It claims to seek truth while masterfully selecting only the most comforting conclusions. In debates it proclaims fairness, but quietly hides numerous biases beneath the surface—a dark hero of philosophical theatrics.
