There is no such thing as total objectivity. We have blind spots, actual ones, because there are no light-senstitive cones where the optic nerve connects to the retina, but we don't experience that because we automatically fill in the blind spot with information surrounding it. We'd freak out and probably fall over if we knew how little we are actually seeing, or how accurately. People put this huge emphasis on being truthful, but our brains are designed to alter reality. We have to tell ourselves lies just to stay on our feet.
