You take a position. Relativism is an inch away from nihilism. I don't believe either is 'useful' outside of the theoretical. Word play is semantics. All words are conceptual. Of course not everything written in the Guardian is nonsense by a long mark.....However, some of it is....This is my 'interpretation'. There is no requirement to agree......Some people in Africa still practice witchcraft, some people don't. Choice is paramount to both. I make the choice to laugh at witchcraft for obvious reasons...Similarly I make the choice to laugh at this Guardian article. Edited by Stirlingsays (21 Sep 2018 8.39pm) How objective is your review of these news sources really? Could it be that you’ve made up your mind & seeking sources to confirm that view?

Who’s fact wins out. There is no right and wrong, only opinions. No one has all the answers, or even a fraction of a percent of the answers.

Think about what you see with your own eyes. You’re 100% sure of that, right? Then read some more about how unreliable eyewitness testimony is: So, what you know happened for a fact becomes more of an interpretation of events.

Where does a circle begin.....I've already answered this relativism yet you still give me this. Positions need to be taken.

I doubt we changed each other’s mind at all. So a great waste of time really. But enjoyable nonetheless.
