Humans invented justice. The trolley problem, too. When we go, justice will be able to retire. The problem is that extinction is too good for us. I guess I should add, "from a certain perspective". Relativism is self-refuting!!!!!!!
To me, relativism is when you say, "Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!"
Same old shit. Prohibited vs. obliged. Anxiety vs. compulsivity. The first whines that its freedoms are being abridged, and fascism is taking over. The second argues the same. Both are called 'control freaks' by a certain sort of libertarian. None of that for me: I'm an absurdist -- I think the human condition is absurd.
