all you have to do is compare something to something else, to place it
relative to something else and you're committing a concrete absolute
act based in a mind that does nothing other than mind. a conscious
mind is never relativist, unless in certain mental illnesses.
relativism as a strawman set up by panicking idiots and relative are
plain to see, but it's impossible to be a relativist. so quite a few
have screwed up.
