Uncertainty Principle being a lower limit of the delta introduced at a quantum level. IE momentum or position can be determined but not both precisley at the same time.

More importantly that they way we go about measuring reality has an effect on what we measure and the type of outcome we will find. Our minds choose our methods, and our methods determine our outcomes. For instance the double slit experiment vs the photoelectric effect. Measure one way and we find a particle, measure the other way and we have a wave.

So as observers we can find reality is subjective. To take to the objective level, requires measurement again and again. Something that science does, and stamp collecting does not.
Correct me if I am wrong, but being unable to accurately measure reality does not equal "reality is subjective". Subjective means that what you are observing only exists in your mind, this is different from being unable to see clearly.

Your application of quantum physics doesn't really seem apt here. In fact, you seem to be misunderstanding what the double slit/ photoelectric effects mean. It means that light itself can act and behave with properties of both waves and particles. It does not mean we are deciding in our own minds through experiments what light "will be".

I think that there is an objective reality, which you must work to understand and which you can understand. People have different interpretations of it because everyone has a personal degree of self separation of their own mind from reality. Wack jobs that go about shooting people up are not "victims" of a subjective reality but simply men that have slowly replaced reality with their own imagination and delusions separating their own minds from what is real.
