Re: what uis n?eoludism?
Thank you, @khomus. By the start of your explanation, I was prepared to answer with "Well yes, but to be honest I didn't want an explanation as much as I wanted Wing to try and explain it in his own words", but now I realize that I actually didn't know what I wanted.
@Wing The world isn't binary. Not just 0 or 1, relativist or absolutist. If you look at its history, you'll see that you can't truly put any period of it into either side; and if you think you can, then you are oversimplifying history.
"well we now play the game of questions essentially for no aperant reason , since I don't see a way out of the relativist perspective, be it metaphysical or epistemic."
There doesn't have to be a way out. And just because there isn't a reason from your perspective, that does not mean it isn't one. Is learning for the sake of learning not enough? The thrill, the enjoyment, the advantages of seeing the world in a slightly different light?
We don't need to reach some ultimate form of understanding; we just need to get to a point we're comfortable with. I am pretty close, or at least enough that if asked what I believed the meaning of my life was, I could string a few inspirational-sounding quotes together and mean them. Gettin' there. I don't need your absolutes, and as you can see, nobody else in this topic is all that hyped about them either.
"Far from being bad a pessimistic philosophy can counter suffering ." Well yeah. Bad shit happening is less painful if you just constantly expect it. But I think I'll stick with my happier outlook on life and take the pain when it comes, thank you very much. You keep on being down there so you can't fall, wondering what is eventually going to doom us all.
I'm with @Ethin, and I promise this is my last post in this topic. Unfortunately likely not my last reply to you period; I don't have enough self control. But one can hope.
