You sound like you're implicitly treating that "objective" point of view as more important than your actual (presumably subjective) point of view.
Is that true?
If so, on what grounds?

To answer your question, that is not true. The objective point of view and subjective points of view are equal, because they are just different points of view. If it sounds like I consider it more important, it is only because my mind actually does agree more with the objective view. At this point in time the subjective point of view is foreign to me. I find the big picture so fascinating that I become less concerned with my own part in it, but I don't expect that of anyone but me. I am more interested in creating something good than preserving something flawed, even if that thing happens to be me.
