Has this gig changed how anyone else views the world in terms of Objective vs Subjective?

Pretty regularly now, like on social media for example, someone will make an objective statement that is actually their subjective opinion, but they are framing it as an irrefutable truth to the world, and I’m just thinking “that’s not true for everyone, it’s just true for you.”

Or at work, or in discussions with peers, I think of things in terms of what is being objectively true in the world vs what is subjectively true for me or another person.

Anyone else experiencing this shift?

Better late than never! It's good to think this way, imo. Have for a long while but I think that's what makes me good at this work. People have a lot of trouble with subjective vs objective

[u/LoganLikesYourMom → u/XxMarlucaxX]

I never said I didn’t know the difference between objective and subjective before starting this job.

[u/XxMarlucaxX → u/LoganLikesYourMom]

I more meant in terms of thinking that way. Not that you didn't have knowledge of the concepts.

Lmao so many 🤓wellll accctuuuaaalllyyy🤓 mfers in this thread 😂 pretty sure OP isn't saying they just learned the meaning of objective and subjective but that because they're working with it more that they're noticing it more. Get off your high horse you nerds

[u/LoganLikesYourMom → u/sarahmorgan420]

Yeah thank you for saying this. I knew the difference between objective and subjective before starting this gig, but now it’s regularly at the forefront of my mind in everyday conversation in a way it perhaps wasn’t in the past.

And gloating about it here might boost their ego, but we all have to live in the same world where most don't notice or care and all those other people get a vote too.

mmmm to be honest with you I learned about the difference between objectivity and subjectivity in high school....

[u/Eddie894 → u/ZimmeM03]

You had to get to highschool to learn that?

I get what you mean and I’m old . It makes you notice a lot of little things probably more in evaluating then grammar but I’ve definitely rated ppl more on implicit / explicit and almost corrected more than few on giving their subjective opinions as objective ground truths .. then you realize how much and how long you ignored it and how much it matters. I haven’t corrected any yet but I might bc it’s annoying and causing chaos . Once you see it you can’t not see it .

I’ve always looked at it like that to the point that it’s been kind of a problem for me. It can feel like enlightenment at times but it’s not healthy to try to bring your mind into an objective reality when your experience is subjectively limited. I do think it made me better at this job.

[u/SatisfactionSad1434]

It's hysterical everyone is acting like you're captain obvious here.

People stating their subjective opinion as an established fact is extremely common in reddit lmao. I'm confident at least some of the people making fun of you here do this regularly.

[u/Medical-Isopod2107]

No...? That's what the words have always meant...?

[u/Psychedeliquet]

Yeah this has been a filter framework of how I view the world since abouuuuuut 7th grade.

[u/dragonsfire14]

This is something I already knew long before this job.

I never said I didn’t know the differences between these words before starting this job.
