Humans, being emotional creatures who apply meaning where there are none, are limited in their perspectives. Humans sometimes get so wrapped up with passion inside their own thoughts that they can't see any other way. Humans, when they discuss, are just as quick to hide information against them as they are to exaggerate information in their favor. Not to mention that in the cock fight of ideas, an enraged human may launch an attack on the other trainer instead of his bird (also known as ad hominem. It's stupid. Don't do it.).
And yet, I won't have it any other way. After all, it's these weaknesses in respecting ideas that makes humans human. If anyone suggests that it is a human goal to see through the objective perspective, they are wrong. The objective perspective, while it should be respected and understood, is the opposite of being human. It would be like seeing the world through the eyes of a flea.
The Objective perspective is the perfect, passive, opinionless way of looking at an idea (or rather, a thing) which has not been flawed by the human way of understanding things. From a human perspective, a book is one method of sharing a story or idea, using paper. From an objective perspective, a book is several thin sheets of woodpulp with ink on it, nothing more.
