To a thermometer, the universe is nothing but temperature, and not even some external truth about temperature, just the temperature of the sensor as an internal state that can be observed. The objectivity is in the fact that the subjectivity of a good measuring device is known with great precision. A person, on the other hand, experiences and passes on phenomena with a subjectivity that is complex and not known to a great degree of precision. Machines are extremely subjective.

Is that why He’s so hard for us to understand?</blockquote> YES! that's it! and the only way one could actually comprehend total objectivity is if one *is* that objectivity, which would mean a single objective consciousness manifesting itself through subjective experience!
