I think that objectivity is an important skill to have - the ability to step back and try not let your preconceived prejudices cloud your judgment.

Finding out a clear path of reasoning from A to B and being able to convey that is quite useful in nonfamiliar settings. It adds power (whether justified or not) to our opinions in front of similarly knowlegable people. The real problem is that we don't take the time to know people: share in their experiences and understand them. How can I have a thoughtful discussion on an issue when I hardly know you? IMO, logic is simply a fallback used more and more often as we hurry more and more and never take the time to slow down.

There's another issue: privacy. I don't know anyone here at Socialdiscussion, so why should I be revealing myself to a bunch of strangers. I really don't need any stalkers right now

Is it impersonal? Yes. Is it taking a shortcut? Definitely. Is it a problem? I don't think so. It's an effect of how little time we devote to relationships...

It's impossible to be completely objective. There's a piece of ourselves that goes into everything we write or do or say. As the pieces build up, you get a clearer picture of who they are and what they stand for.

Claiming to be objective is essentially a "Hey, look, I'm trying. Give me attention" with a +1 attribute to fairness and accuracy, no matter whether the claim is blatantly false or not...

PS:If you could make sense of any of that, you deserve something special
