Do rainbows exist objectively?

Right, every subjective experience has an objective cause, so the usual cause of the subjective experiences of perceiving a rainbow is the objective refraction of light in a certain pattern, AKA: a rainbow. -

The appearance of a pattern is part of the subjective experience. The objective cause is light. -

I never said anything about the appearance of a pattern.The objective cause is light.
Only light refracting in a certain way, not all lay. The objective phenomenon which serves as the objective cause of the perception of rainbows is commonly called... a rainbow -

not true.
many people can tell their foods or drinks taste like shit despite having no prior experiences of tasting shits. -

more directly, the majority of people in HK harbour some degree of anti-mainland sentiment, meaning that the police likely do too to some degree. Directly targeting the police with violent attacks and treating them as enemies just hastens the PLA coming in, and they will NOT treat the rioters with the kid gloves that the police have. -

i think the china side is playing all this wrong.
they should just ignore the protestors and let their carnage went rampant and free and destroy hong kong economy in the process.
anyway the thing is that after 100years of whitemens rule those hongkees have developed white fever they would rather be chinks ruled by white, anglo men than by elites of their own kind. -

that's actually more or less what they're doing... to an extent. They don't really need HK economically anymore, but it can't be allowed to be turned into a US/UK military base so they can't just sit back and watch it burn either -

How is that even on the tabl in your head? There is no room in Hong Kong for a military base. It's all water, mountains, and civilization. Look at a topographic map and compare it to a road map. All the livable areas are mostly settled.
This is ignoring the political fallout of such a thing. It would never happen. -

I was mostly thinking of a political base, not sure why I wrote military. That said I'm sure a large naval base is possible -

Back to subject: Obbe, what does it mean to "objectively exist"?
