Matt:
The Platonic-scarecrow known as "Relativism" is produced by thinking that
relativity equates to meaninglessness.  Cutting that cord, by evicting the
thought the relativity engenders loss of meaning, is the only thing
pragmatism (or Marsha) needed to do.


Greetings Matt,

You sound like Ham presenting the Nihilist specter.  And I wonder why you
need to make a determination that I need only cut the cord between
relativity and meaninglessness?  I do not, nor ever did, see such a cord to
cut.  Relativism seems such a squeaky wheel that it just makes my interest
even greater.  I want to understand it myself.  That you and Steve have come
to the conclusion that relativism equates to asshole should influence me?  I
think not!  It seems to me a simple fact that if there are no absolutes,
then all is relative.  Within Buddhism, reality arises co-dependently.
Everything then, is relative.
