In other words, it's still subjective perception but with the transpersonal awareness which naturally arises with realization of the broader context of self. It's people call "awakening".
It's that transcendent bit that suggests objectivity. Framed a certain way, largely due to suggestions within the emerging valuing meme, there is pathological stifling effect. "knowingness" via intuition on "arbitrary hyperdrive" becomes a distraction due to inflation and lack of grounding. Arbitrariness is glorified because of its suggestion of infinity. Basically everything can be, and so is taken as pointer to "something more". And so the unbalanced intuition tends to feed the feeling of transcendence, which is a form of escapism from self. The playground of infinities void of rational experience.
OK I understand now. Sorry I was thinking about another thing.
I am getting impression that at times rationality is misunderstood as 'cold' and 'unimaginative' and 'rigid'... That it is undesireable compared to coveted intuition. haha personal bias there.
Rationality could also have limitation/imbalances, e.g., western modes of thinking does tilt towards a materialism, narrow view of reality, and deductive reasoning (as people call it 'left brain'). There's utility in seeing reality from this perspective but this type of rationality would be imbalanced, too, because it's important to also see things from a broader perspective thru inductive reasoning... that reality could be perceived uniquely but have common threads. Inductive reasoning for example does require intuition and being able to see connections to vast array of things that our minds would not have previously perceived. Reality can be intersubjective even when people's experiences are unique by looking at the 'heart of the matter', for example. I kind of think inductive reasoning is part of the next valuing meme after green.

lol the Centaur is a great symbol - half man, half horse. You have the choice of becoming the Philosopher King or be drugged by the animalistic nature/instinct of man or woman. The animal nature could distract the centaur as he/she aims his/her arrow to the target, so the human mind could help to moderate that.
