The Fundamental Problem of Life Is How to Act in the World
I truly believe the moral relativists are wrong. I think their thinking is 150 years out of date. They're so far behind what we now know about how people operate in the world neurologically and philosophically say psychologically that it's like arguing with physicists who still believe in ether or phrenologists who still read head bumps. It's just not a tenable discussion. We're way past that. If there's no difference between how to act, if nothing's valuable, then well, you have the same problem. What do you do? What should you do? Well, it's a big problem because actually doing things is hard and you might fail."
