		<description><![CDATA[It'd be nice if the folks who don't believe in global warming weren't polluting the same world as the folks who do, but the tragedy of existence is that we must share one world. No one sane and good is ever a relativist or a pragmatist about criminal guilt or ignorance, about child abuse and the Satanic panic, or about vaccines. Relativism is always reserved for some other stuff that&#8217;s off to the side, like whether a particular artwork is beautiful. <a href="https://www.anotherpanacea.com/2025/01/24/pragmatism-pluralism-and-relativism/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Nullius in verba? Surely you are joking, Mr. Hooke!
