This is great news. The HPV vaccine is cutting cases of cervical cancer by 90%.

So rather than "new" things coming from an objective foundation, they are coming from an uncertain one There is still kind of a duality there because I cannot directly observe the uncertainty However, I think that interpretation solves my problem for having a consistent subjective reality

And to a significant degree, that foundation is infallible We might interpret it incorrectly, the foundation itself is inherently certain from all points of view But if we take away that certainty, then the foundation crumbles. The only certainty comes from our observations

So, objectivity isn't just that something exists outside of me (or us, or observers), but it also has to be certain It's the idea that things don't appear out of nothingness, but are the result of a framework or structure or foundation that exists separately from me

Part of my idea for subjective reality is that anything outside of my observations is completely uncertain Today I figured out that the problem of "new" things coming from an outside source only counts as objectivity if it is a that source is consistent

That implies an objective aspect to reality because it would have to exist outside of my subjective observations That would create a contradiction, meaning a fully subjective reality is inconsistent. Unless... the things outside of observations don't exactly "exist" So that's the problem

I'm not sure if this will make sense, but I want to write it down somewhere I've been thinking about a Subjective Reality that is Consistent But I've been stuck on the idea that I can learn new things, so that means there must be something outside myself for those new things to come from

I don't understand the new law being proposed. Is having a valid license really one of the main concerns when stealing a car? #ONpoli

Is anyone studying Gen Z's written language and how it lacks punctuation and capitalization? I'm not sure regression is the right word for it, but the way they write is kind of what early written language was like I swear though, if they stop using spaces, I'm out of here
