Most people who espouse such relativistic beliefs fail to realize -or refuse to acknowledge - that as fun as they may find being relativistic, they cannot function in their daily lives without adhering to the same mundane rules, facts, and/or laws they claim to be above in their intellect.
As pig stated, it doesn't matter what I say about gravity or how much of a fool I think pig is for sitting down when he should be floating, the reality is that gravity exists and there's nothing I can do to deny it without sounding a bit foolish.
And if I want to argue with the definition of gravity or up or down or whatnot, then I am certainly foolish.
