[MD] Emptiness & Quantum Mechancics

[John Carl]

Yeah, dave, I sorta figured you were referring to to philosophical
relativism rather than physical relativism.  In my book, the latter refutes
the former.  I've always argued against Relativism in my philosophic
disputations also.  So I with you on that one.

Usually though, my disputation takes the form of Relativism vs. Absolutism,
and since you and I agree on disparaging Relativism, I'm puzzled how you can
disagree with me that Truth is an Absolute Ideal. Even if you make
Experience your Absolute, it is still, an Absolute.
