All subjectivity is objective, in that 'all subjectivity that occurs, occurs'.

So my carpet isn't real until schroodinger's cat barfs on it?

To whom does subjectivity occurs? To the Mind. It's subjective. The Observer/Mind causes the reality.
My subjective experiences don't occur to you. I can type them based on agreed upon words and definition, but you will still not be experiencing my experience but your own experience about my experience.
"Agreed upon" meaning same belief/opinion, and therefore subjectivity.
Does anything besides your mind exist?
It is so unlikely, it is pretty much proof, that only your mind is not the only thing that exists.
Therefore, it is pretty much proof, that objective reality exists.

Yes, other minds. I said reality is subjective, not only I exist.
Proving that my mind is not the only one to exist does not prove objective reality is true.
Some people see and experience what would be impossible to another person's/mind's world (miracles being an example). This shows reality is subjective.

Objective does not mean truth. Objective means (in this conversation at least) independent of the mind - since that was the our disagreement and how it's on topic to the original post about reality being subjective because of experiments about the Observer Effect.
Now my response.
It doesn't make sense to say that because one mind is aware that other minds exist, that means the mind does not create the reality (objective - independent of mind).

For example, if minds are creating the world, then one mind being aware of another mind is not proof that the mind is not creating the world but only proof that there are other minds/creators.

If you don't even believe the conclusion of the original experiment with the scientists, then there's no way you would believe anything I say.
All I can do now is debunk arguments that tries to disprove subjectivity which doesn't make sense
For example, if minds are creating the world, then one mind being aware of another mind is not proof that the mind is not creating the world but only proof that there are other minds/creators.

You believe that before a mind existed on Earth, Earth did not exist.
That absolutely nothing existed.
Then a mind (or more) popped into existence from nothing from nowhere.
And created the Earth.
And that if your mind disappears, that Earth will disappear, or only if all minds on earth disappear, Earth will disappear.
This is the last time I will ever speak to you.

Didn't get through all 18 pages, but it's a rather interesting study. Not sure I catch the full gist, but it's saying essentially that based on what we see and what we assume happens is what we believe? But in what would be actuality, nothing happened.
Well either way if I didn't get that right, I had read just a bit about quantum mechanics and it felt as if dreams, are really just that. The land where we make anything into what we want by perception and we feel as if it were reality but there are no bounds. We can essentially visit mars in our human form instantaneously, without ever having been there.
I had a thread which went deeper into this: www.abovetopsecret.com...
Not sure if there's anyone else here that shows the same view where in dreams we essentially fail to measure, so we experience what this article speaks of.

No difference between our reality and a dreamed reality none whatsoever, we just believe one is more real than the other because it is persistent on a daily basis.
When we dream we think its real too go figure lolz. . . .

Not in a lucid dream. I've had a few.
