No, he didn't; he said "at most". I personally think none is correct, and I don't agree there are universally valid truths. I defy you to explain how you know that to be so.
The problem is we can not always determine what the universally valid truth is (especially so in moral/religious matters)
Then why do you think there is such a thing?
so we tend to cop-out
Why is it a "cop-out" to accept the limits of human perception?
and say there are no truths, or something along the lines of:
"Well, that might be right for you, but not for me."
or the one I love to hate:
"Perception is reality."
How do you know reality is something other than perception if you don't perceive it to be so? -- ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Mike McNally -- Egregiously Pointy -- Tivoli Systems, "IBM" -- Austin mailto:m5@tivoli.com mailto:m101@io.com http://www.io.com/~m101 ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
