Turns out you can be a big Nazi and still have some valuable insight on how the modern way of thinking is shaped by technology. Since philosophy is not about idolizing one guy and dogmatizing everything he says, it should be possible to take peoples ideas into consideration regardless of (however keeping in mind) how shitty their political opinions/actions were.
Well his argument is that the concept of an objective reality requires the subject to abstract away its own existential entanglement with said reality, whereas the phenomenon everyone percieves directly is always the world that affects ones own existence, not the world as it is on its own. That’s not crazy, it’s an idea you can have. It also doesn’t mean there is no reality or no truth or that scientific measurement is pointless, just that the “experience” of the world is the primary thing and everything else is a derivation. And for me it truly is a problem that today’s notion of science tends to only value quantitative measurements, because for the humanities, that is a pretty big assumption about your subject that really narrows down the approach. (I feel there is a tendency to emphasise on producing measurements rather than on their interpretation) Maybe there’s even a link between that and the fact that it is so impossible today to imagine an alternative to capitalism.
