John asked dmb:
... what is your problem exactly? Why is your main message on these pages so
often focused upon negativism and rejection and exclusion? Why do you want to
reduce pluralism of views instead of expanding? Can you really be that
intellectually timid? It puzzles me immensely, it really does.
dmb says:
If you're puzzled then you have confused diversity with promiscuity. If my
posts are focused on rejection and exclusion it's only because I think
hair-brained nonsense ought to be rejected and excluded. I mean, wanting lots
of different opinions is not the same thing as dropping our standards of
quality to accommodate every opinion. Like I said, that's just intellectual
debauchery.
"If relativism signifies contempt for fixed categories and those who claim to
be the bearers of objective immortal truth ... then there is nothing more
relativistic than Fascist attitudes and activity... From the fact that all
ideologies are of equal value, that all ideologies are mere fictions, the
modern relativist infers that everybody has the right to create for himself his
own ideology and to attempt to enforce it with all the energy of which he is
capable." (Benito Mussolini, 1921)
