Objectivity

Objectivity is said to be free of bias, free of perceptions
tinged by emotion and dreams. The problem is we

have no way of determining what that state is like,
since the moment we (think)  we approach it, we can't

help putting it on—it's like a raincoat that supposedly keeps
its wearer neutral and dry; reasonable, with deep pocketfuls

of empirical evidence whose purpose is to establish the truth
as truth. Objectivity resides in a sterile chamber without 

distraction. But since it can only be confirmed independent 
of a mind, I 'm pretty sure there are wall-to-wall mirrors.  

How else could it affirm its objectivity than by checking itself out
many times a day? The rest of us live in our porous apartments, 

where we can hear the neighbors quarrel then have make-up 
sex; and they snore, or sing loud into a karaoke machine.
