subjectivity

Silhouette of a person looking at the world through colored lenses
Each peeks at 'truth' through their personal lens, the spectacle of subjectivity. There is only one filter per pair of eyes.

Description

Subjectivity is the astonishing power to ignore all other perspectives and decree one’s own experiences and biases as universal truth. Every event becomes “reality” only after passing through one’s mental filter. Science and logic occasionally peek in, but ultimately rely on emotional sticky notes. It behaves like a chameleon, changing color according to the intensity of feelings and turning debates into mere self-indulgent pageantry. In short, your correctness is untrustworthy until it emerges from within you. For example, meeting minutes are replayed exactly as I perceived them.
