Language does describe the object world (it describes other things as well), but this defines our subjective reality.

I acknowledge that subjectivity v subjectivity is limited, which is why I also wrote 'degree of subjectivity'. Once we accept that subjectivity is a process and not part of a diametric then it becomes clear that there can be no true objectivity.

There ARE highly valid subjective notions, which can be tested. For example, the light switch analogy that InVerse stressed. However, in the final analysis they remain subjective because this 'reality' is created and expressed by the mind...
