    By the way, it is your own idea to open an university to fulfill your selfishness to learn all the knowledge. I too thought over it for several hours. I am still having several doubts about your real intentions or motive behind it.

    If you are really inquisitive to know about subjective universal ism, pl see the following link.

    Subjective Universalism

    Subjective Universalism is the belief that one s own moral beliefs and values should followed by absolutely everyone inasmuch as these beliefs are the very best possible beliefs and values that anyone could ever possibly have. Subjective universalists confidence in the absolute universalizability of their beliefs is unaffected by their awareness that other people are not all likely to share any of their beliefs, as their beliefs are based on what should be, rather than what is, in fact, the case.

    It sounds like a contradiction.

    Universalism is a position that assumes something to be true for everyone (such as religion)

    Subjectivism says that consciousness is the only irrefutable fact in reality.

    I think Kant used a similar phrase to describe beliefs that "should" be held by everyone.

    I am assuming that it means that everything is subjective. To say everything is objective would be from a subjective position.

    Seems like it is implying that things are universally subjective....

    The context would help....

    Look up 'oxymoron' (no, it isn't toothpaste for Republikkkans!)...
