the myth of objectivity * 12/1/13

There is the myth of objectivity,

yet science has always lobbied

insistently for the inference.

Logic has been janitorial in its service.

Capitalism always saw objectivity

as bringing its guests to a buffet.

Arguments would saddle up for the ride

in this country on the horse of their choosing.

Direct conversation attempts the dress up

as if we are going out to a formalism.

To me, the best traits of objectivity

are field in display and boundary maintenance.

Facts seem to be the temporal pawns in play.

Supposedly we have all been there

and been through all of that.

Humor preys upon it left, right, and center.

The upkeep of objectivity

is more than bothersome,

it is when the cosmetics of it take on character.

Of course, this is all in reference to objectivity

as the myth part seems to be established

at a later time in concept development.

It is as if our senses were naturally trained

and then further developed

to be under the reign or siege of objectivity.

Sadly our senses eventuated towards certitude. 

Objectivity is inclined to order from the menu.

Is objectivity a thing we can take to the bank

or more of a ‘we agree to agree’ phenomenon?

Maybe objectivity is myth

because ‘the feet of clay’ about this

is the style of isolation it is as myth

for being falsely fundamental

and yet feeding expectations.

Objectivity’s formal attire is as an answer,

but nobody really wants a statue

as a best friend.

You can’t hurt me with details

but you can slander me with premise.

What lawyer would not pursue the sleaze

of objectivity sooner or later?

Look! Could it be an objective ship

sailing on a subjective sea

attempting to learn navigational skills?

Determining sanity is the tarot of objectivity.

Is mything really only a piggyback skill set?

Myth and objectivity are strange bedmates.

The worst of it is that

we are the illegitimate offspring,

living objectivity as if it were alive!
