SUBJECTIVITY

I wish to dwell more on this subject for two important purposes:

To put on scan whatever we think right (in Tamil they say Mathi yosi)

While blindly accepting or opposing what  others say


Amartya Sen exposed this universal narrow mindedness in his Book "Idea Of Justice"

On positionality of observation and our illusions solar eclipse is the best example.
 From the perspective of earth sun and moon have the same size ! And hence for us solar eclipse occurs with a small mass of moon obscuring large mass of sun.
There can be no better example for positional bias.

Since we always look from our point of view
