When it comes down to it, I think I have accepted that due to the oppositional nature of my thinking I can be nothing but a relativist.
I think that in each respect, for each person, we have to decide what is acceptable for ourselves -- about everything.
Additionally, I feel no need to speculate on relativism in things like languages or mathematics, because they are situations in which all of the decisions have already been made. In true, accurate math or true, accurate language, there is no room for interpretation. If there is no room for interpretation, than at what point do you really have to do any thinking at all?
I don't feel like writing anymore at the moment since I have to go take off my bathing suit.
