Says me. When I take my razor and scrape your nerve endings. Maybe 
I'm wrong, though. Maybe you're just a figment of my computer. Maybe 
it's OK to hurt you. Who's to say?

I think that you misinterpret TP if you think that he is a moral 
relativist. Moral relativism is, I hate to say it, a lot of academic 
buldada. The search for a global community is a search for common 
ground, not the negation that comes with the cheap nilhilism. Ayn 
Rand and Nietzche may inspire you; I think they're pathetic.
