You are simply playing with words in a manner that is pointless. There are clearly objective facts about this universe that can be plainly stated. And there are rules of logic that allow us to objectively identify certain sets of assertions as containing a contradiction. Therefore, as I said above, “Are you suggesting that it is difficult to judge what ideas are great and what ideas are idiotic? I actually find this easy.”

Nope. I value different things than you value, because we feel differently about different things (subjectivity!) That's it. It's not complicated.

You keep making the same mistake, which is to assume the existence of feelings disproves the existence of an objective reality. Reality exists outside of our feelings.

Feelings are the only way anyone values anything. There is no evidence of any other kind of value. It's as invisible and non-existent as any god.
