Abstract: Every day we play games of thought, such as prediction, decision, guess and understanding. These games are indispensable in human production and life, as well as the main content of human civilization and culture. For each of these things, the objective world is a part of the subjective world. This philosophical worldview is a fake but more valuable worldview. This paper analyzes the thought games of decision, prediction, desire, guess, understanding, evaluation, art and religion respectively. Many alternative plans made before decision belong to the subjective world, and one of them will become objective reality. This plan belongs to the objective world, so the objective world is a part of the subjective world. A plan is a systematic decision making over a period of time. Laws, institutions, rules, standards, etc., are systematic decisions for a number of years or all time. In the objective world, there is only the present, without the past and the future. In the subjective world, there can be the past, the present and the future at the same time, so the objective world is a part of the subjective world. This paper also analyzes the conditions for the use of Robert's Rules of procedure.

1. Introduction

I published an article in 2021 that proposed a Dialectical Dualistic world view. This world view holds that the subjective world is a part of the objective world, and the objective world is also a part of the subjective world. The subjective world and the objective world are the dialectical unity relationship containing each other.[1] For the first half of this view, that the subjective world is a part of the objective world is easy to understand, because the subjective world is ideas, ideas are the function of the brain, the brain is a part of man, man is a part of the world. It's hard to understand that the objective world is a part of the subjective world, but you just have to analyze our daily activities.

Every day, we play games of thought, such as decision, prediction, guess and understanding. These games are indispensable in human production and life, as well as the main content of human civilization and culture. For each of these things, the objective world is a part of the subjective world. Let's take a look at the games of thought of decision, prediction, desire, guess, understanding and evaluation, as well as art and religion.

2. Alternative Plans and Decision

We all have to make many decisions every day, and each decision is often preceded by multiple alternative offers. For example, a company proposed three plans before investing. The first one was to invest in Beijing, the second was to invest in Shanghai, and the third plan was in Xi'an. The final decision was made to adopt the second proposal. And then it became a reality, a part of the objective world after it was implemented, while the other two schemes existed only in the subjective world. But these two schemes were also valuable, there cannot be only one scheme before the decision was made. Life has to think about it, and you can only do it after you think it over. The second proposal also existed in the subjective world prior to its implementation. This scheme that became an objective fact is a part of the three schemes of the subjective worlds. So the objective world is a part of the subjective world.

The first and the third proposals, although not ultimately adopted, also had a possibility before decision-making. If the probability of the first one is 30%, then there was 30% objectivity. Not adopted means that it was 100% subjective. Thirty percent is a part of the 100%, and in this sense, it can also be said that objectivity is a part of the subjectivity, and the objective world is a part of the subjective world. The second scheme also had the possibility of being rejected before it was adopted, that is, there was some subjectivity in the second scheme. Its ultimate adoption meant that its objectivity was 100%. In this sense, it can be said that subjectivity is a part of objectivity, and the subjective world is a part of the objective world. The subjective world and the objective world are mutually inclusive as dialectical unity. 

From the scientific world view, the objective world is not a part of the subjective world, but the philosophical world view should recognize that the objective world and the subjective world are mutually inclusive dialectical unity. This philosophical worldview is a fake but more valuable worldview.
