    Epistemic relativism is a black hole. It’s the graveyard of knowledge, and I will not abide it. It’s the ultimate of all cop-outs. Those who bring it up should be immediately excommunicated from all rational discussion.

    It’s the parodox of tolerance for philosophy. Relativism is a thought-terminating argument that people like you use as an ICBM targeting intelligent takes on relevant issues.

    It OFFENDS me.

    You want to bring it up in a purely theoretical context, without any relation to previous topics, fine. But when it gets brought up in any context other than its own, the person speaking it should be run out of town.
