Platt,

How about this: "There probably aren't any absolute truths."

It's a nice provisional truth, that I'm choosing to use right now because
it's much more convenient for understanding and discussing the world.
Neither the existence of or non-existence of Absolute Truths can be shown,
so we simply choose the most convenient of the two. For us, their
non-existence is convenient because it opens to us new realms of possiblity,
whole new valleys in the High Country. However clearly the former is more
convenient for you because it allows you to balk and mold conversations the
way you want them to go. And that's cool man.
Let's just be clear that nobody's right, eh?

-Gene
