    That truth is absolute. It’s very much subjective. Much in the way right and wrong are subjective.

    Life is complicated and things don’t fit into perfect little boxes.

        Gotta ignore infinities too. The axioms they’re based on are highly controversial.

        Nah even statistics is perfectly logical and right, but not because truth is absolute (there may be such a thing, but we definitely don’t have access to it in that case. [At this time?]), but rather because math defined there to be a way in which all you derive from it is ‘absolutely’ true. It just might be ‘absolutely’ true in a system that isn’t ours, or isn’t useful for answering anything we want to ask…
