Can anyone now argue that there is one can have an “objective viewpoint” on anything?

And so it’s tempting to abandon the notion of objectivity.

But really, the thing to abandon is the “viewpoint”, not the “objective” part.  We don’t really abandon the notion that there is some “object”.  Truly, the sophomores among us like to argue that they have abandoned it, but, like their pretend abandonment of ethics, the appeal to an “object” emerges just as soon as they’re removed from their well-lit and air-conditioned philosophy lecture.

What must one have in order to “see” it all clearly?  How can you get the “objective viewpoint”?

You must at least be able to see through all the viewpoints.

Simultaneously, recursively and self-referentially.

Oh, and probably across the spectrum of time.

(And those are necessary, but not necessarily sufficient, requirements.)

This is not possible for someone bound up entirely in flesh.
