      There’s no such thing as objective reality. The belief in objective reality has caused untold harm through history. It’s used to delegitimise trans identities and indigenous spiritualities. It was used to form theories of race realism, phrenology, and eugenics. It was the justification used by Europeans for the Crusades, slavery, and colonisation. Every one of the worst actions of humanity has resulted from realism.
