Absolute truth, relativism, self refuting

[Lonelyloner]

“Relativism reduces every element of absoluteness to relativity while making a completely illogical exception in favor of this reduction itself. Fundamentally it consists in propounding the claim that there is no truth as if this were truth or in declaring it to be absolutely true that there is nothing but the relatively true; one might just as well say that there is no language or write that there is no writing. In short, every idea is reduced to a relativity of some sort, whether psychological, historical, or social; but the assertion nullifies itself by the fact that it too presents itself as a psychological, historical, or social relativity. The assertion nullifies itself if it is true and by nullifying itself logically proves thereby that it is false; its initial absurdity lies in the implicit claim to be unique in escaping, as if by enchantment, from a relativity that is declared to be the only possibility.”

It is saying that relativism makes it so that there is no absolute truth. Think of it using frames of reference, there is no absolute frame of reference that will be applicable to everything. So, e logic ni extend cheste there is no absolute truth ani అవుతుంది, so the only thing that will remain true is that there is no absolute truth. If that's true, then the truth that there is no absolute truth will become false. So, that's the logical complexity of relativism.

English baaga nerchuko. if you wanna become a genius, Telugu or any other language doesn't have enough words to describe the complexity of human thought. 

Also genius in one field is dumb in another ani marchipoku. hehe.. Iron Man is fantasy, Elon Musk is a fraud.

The tragedy of philosophy is that casual readers unironically tend to apply it to their lives, like lab rats that are allowed to read manuals and sacrifice themselves at the high altar of scientific research.

How much money?

if that's true, there would be no problems in upper/middle class society. making money if you are born in uppercaste/class is just child's play. unless you spit on the system that sustains you.

anyway, these are just mental masturbation tools. They may help unlock a higher level of brain function if you keep playing these logic games. who knows. 

but mostly even if they do improve your brain function, its largely useless in a society that remains steadfastly mediocre, still playing social games from when humans lived in caves.

as long as you take yourself way too seriously, everything you do or learn is a total waste of time. including making money. 

ofcourse if you have simple pleasures and habits, money does help.
