 On Perspectives #It'sOn

I just realized something. The concept of subject versus object can also be viewed in the lens of precision versus accuracy. 

Subject can be thought of as "precision", that is, the illusion of correctness but it is just phenomena, things that converge with each other. 

On the other hand, accuracy is objective existence because it speaks to convergence on truth, the proverbial "bulls eye". One has to know what the bulls eye actually is to "hit" it. One is ungrounded, subject, while the other is fully grounded in reality, object. Just un-peeling the onion of the foundation of western philosophy. QED.
