I just became a patron because of this video. I can't begin to thank you enough. My head was about to explode trying to figure out why one translation I had used "subjective" reality and the other used "objective" reality -- I had no idea he was using the word in a way different from our modern use. Awesome work, thank you!!!
Does Cartesian 'objectivity' roughly equate to language? It sounds like it but when I proposed such comparisons of being/language to my phil teacher in college he got agitated. Not sure if I learned my lesson.

I wouldn't say it equates to anything other than itself. But, remember, Descartes isn't saying 'objectivity". He's saying "objective reality"
why Descartes need to improve the existence of god?
He doesn’t attempt to improve an infinite being
do you mean prove? (just making sure I am understanding your comment correctly), if not why do you think he is trying to improve God?
