Not sure why you say that to me. It's no *point* at all, especially not 
if you refer to the intellectual level. I might agree that what we 
usually measure as IQ has some things in common with objectivity, but 
even there I think it fails. IQ tests don't only test raw calculating 
abilities but also the ability to see patterns where it's very hard to 
see it, where you have to have a moment of inspiration to solve a 
problem. So I don't think cold objectivity would score very high on such 
tests.

Do you have another level in mind?

What happened to you? Intellectual patterns depend on social patterns. 
SOM has nothing to do with it.
