    I mean don't get me wrong, I hate just about every moral relativism and moral absolutism there are going. Ok, that's not true I'm somewhere between Kant, Camus and Catholicism.
    I just think that when this guy speaks against relativism he chiefly a)says something which is superficially quite nice but has ugly implications b)says something so in tune with the cultural zeitgeist that it makes my skin crawl (protip:any view that is intellectually fashionable is 99.9% likely to be wrong) c) flaps his jaw and makes noises without his propositions actually committing him to any position whatsoever.
