Wish I could've included this line in the article: "that it is an artifact of language and physics that is useful to explain our world, but not a fundamental property of the world."

That's a beautiful quote! Yes, on Giles's recommendation I've started to read Time and Free Will by Bergson. I don't really agree with his opening premise, so I don't know what value I'll derive from it, but I look forward to seeing his characterization of what you called "the tension between this objective and subjective."
