[MD] qualified relativists

[Ian Glendinning]

True Mark, but you did say
Anthropocentrism means that
"the way we see things is the way they must be."

Which is exactly what it isn't. What it really means is
"The way we see things is the way we must see them."

Great fishing BTW ;-)

His thesis fascinated me then and ever since. Anthropocentrism just means human centered. And i see it definitely as NOT the way things really are, but the way humans see them, or would like to see them.
