You're using very casual definitions of objectivity and subjectivity if you think the difference is between definite truth and opinion. Opinions aren't false by definition. How can one talk of matters of definite truth without accountable right opinion?

So you are saying time is not a constant state of truth? What is this constant state of truth? Where is it? Can you point to anything beside an abstraction in your head?

What is a hat outside of human fashions? What is summer outside of region-specific weather? What is getting hot to someone who has never felt warmth? All the parts of your question refer to first-person experiences to things outside itself. As such, subjective experience cannot exist without the objective for it to refer and the objective cannot be approached by any other means beside those that begin with subjective experience. This is why the dichotomy is shit. To refuse the dichotomy doesn't mean I'm a subjectivist nor an objectivist. The world in which we live and can make sense to ourselves is entwined in such a way that two simplistic post-Kantian terms can't undo it.
