All we've ever done is "objectivity as considered by humans".
  That's what sucks about being the ONLY species to communicate
  with. Computers are modelled after a limited understanding of
  our own brains. Our mathematical systems are tailor-made to fit
  our tendancies towards pattern-finding - patterns which we
  cognitively REQUIRE to be able to compress "what's out there" in
  a format compatible with our cognitive systems. Pisses me off
  sometimes. The compression thing. Why can't we experience the
  uniqueness of stuff? Computers won't solve it. Designed by
  humans. AI won't solve it: built using the cognitive limitations
  of humans, which it will automatically carry forward withitself,
  no matter how advanced it may appear to us. Nothing humans
  theoretically couldn't manage. Boring. Want more. But we seem to
  be the ONLY species around, so... we're stuck. How it is I
  guess. Still don't like it.
