No. Your personal experience is inextricably related to your perception.

I'd have to say no. That's why in science things have to be repeatable and go through soo much scrutiny. We realize that our ability to percieve things objectively(especially the more complex they are) is somewhat lacking and thus put things through such test.

Nope, I think everyone approaches everything, and I do mean everything with a dgree of personal bias. That is what we use as a reference point of the norm. Pure objectivity is impossible.

i'm unsure on this. Experiences are subjective to the person and as such doesn't qualify as anything objective. As an example, due to our genetic make-up, it's possible that everyone see's an extremely slight variation to the color spectrum [1]. essentially, I'm likely to see a different hue of red than you or any other person on the planet. i will never likely experience exactly the same thing as anyone, no matter what.

So, can I objectively experience something that's factual and true in all aspects, considering that my sense are not the same as anyone else to verify it to be true? unlikely.

Can I use certain methods to verify what i experienced with the help of others doing the same? most definitely.

my experience would remain subject to my own senses until verified by other individuals. it becomes objective when there is some evidence that supports the experience which is outside my subjective senses e.g. repeatable experiments by others to determine mine wasn't subjective.

edit/p.s.: there are some on this post that mention ******** as being able to objectively experience something. I wouldn't consider their brains to be as developed as an ****** and wouldn't be able to differentiate what is real and what isn't. i wouldn't doubt that many thought there were monsters in the dark at night when they were young, as one example.

To add to this, most newborn and babies aren't able to relate their own body and face in the mirror as their own. most have been shown to presume this to be another human being, not themselves. this demonstrates that their view of the world is not clear as they have been shown to have little or no concept of self-awareness i.e. "i think, therefore i am".

I'm not sure what the question means. Objective as in independant of my own beliefs, or biases, and stuff like that?

Well then, experiencing extreme feelings whatever they may be would be objective because you wouldn't think before you felt. So, pure emotion, emotions, can be objective maybe.

As an *****? Very doubtful. As a *****, yes you sure can.
