It Only Takes Two

First of all, I remembered I made like two videos in January so it's technically only been a little over half a year, but my last video before that was almost a year ago, so I think my tiny error right from the get go is excusable. Good to be back, regardless. I'm going to be cutting back on most of the visual aids and shit that I used (like borders, annotations going from video to video, etc.) simply because it's boring and tedious and I'd rather not do that, haha. Also, sorry for any quality issues. I'm going to stop uploading in HD in order to make the process of rendering and uploading take significantly less time and resources. I forgot to film in standard definition, though, so I had to render from 720p down which might affect the overall quality.

I know that this issue is far more complex than I delve into, but I'm just offering a quick refutation of a quick argument. Really, by stating that one is a relativist it should be obvious that one wouldn't make a claim towards absolute truth. Otherwise, those of us who consider ourselves relativists would have to clarify every single statement we ever make with ". . ., but this is relative to my experience and reasoning." This is an absurd implied demand made by the argument, and I believe that it is more a case of projection from the absolutist than any actual flaw with the basic premise of relativism. We mustn't mistake consensus for absolutism, and we mustn't mistake the simplification of our language for the sake of communication for hypocrisy when it only takes about two seconds to reason through the issue enough to spot the bullshit.
