Can Humans Be Objective?

Alie Astrocyte and Jade from Up and Atom explore the concept of objectivity from both neuroscience and physics perspectives. They discuss how our brains process information subjectively, making true objectivity impossible for humans. Jade introduces Einstein's theory of relativity, showing how even time can be subjective. The video concludes with a call for viewers to consider their own views on objectivity.
