| Jul 10, 2014 at 20:35 | comment | added | That Guy | like @user132181, this seems like a psychology question, unless you're asking 'what should a person's pursuits be' or asking for a defense of a search for objective truth. The way the question is currently phrased, it's asking about human behavior | |

| Jun 28, 2014 at 1:35 | comment | added | DBK | Since OP isn't familiar with Ayn Rand, I took the liberty to delete the reference to Objectivism. The Q concerns the concept of objective reality more broadly / cc: @Lucas | |

the Q is not about objectivism

| Apr 25, 2014 at 17:23 | comment | added | James Kingsbery | This is a rather argumentative way of phrasing the question. | |

| Apr 22, 2014 at 15:58 | comment | added | labreuer | Is it possible to not "derive comfort" from whatever philosophy one holds? Note that the term "derive comfort" may morph in meaning from person to person. | |

| Apr 22, 2014 at 14:38 | comment | added | Asphir Dom | Who said objective truth is independent from subjective? On the contrary -- OBJECTIVE is the limit to which all subjective points of view converge after some time. On hedonism. You think they don't enjoy having objective reality? How is it not partially hedonism? | |
