So whatÂ’s your point ?
When Bob fails his program due to a lack of willpower, reality is telling Bob that he will never lose the weight because he is incapable. This reality is undeniable to Bob after his failure. In other words, it is objective. He doesn’t want it to be true since he desires to lose the weight, but it is true. It is the objective reality of the world that both Bobs align themselves with.
The question being posed: Are you sure there is only one objective reality and/or that the objective reality of the world is the ultimate reality?
If we are singular, then there can be only one objective reality, but if we exist as multiple selves, then there can be multiple objective realities. The reality of the world dictates to each human individual that they are singular, but I can test against that using an example such as the weight loss one in the OP.
Bob #2 cannot violate objective reality if it is the one and only objective reality. Since it was violated, then that means it is not the only objective reality. To propose that the reality where Bob #2 fails and the reality where he succeeds is one reality is to be dishonest unless the claim is the one reality contains multiple realities.
Aligning yourself with the reality of the world using the criteria of facts, evidence, history, and direct experience is a necessary but elementary version of truth. It’s an important aspect of childhood development. For an adult to stay married and solely devoted to this version of truth? That’s another type of stunted development.
