I'm no longer a relativist, but there is such a thing as conflicting truths where both truths are equally valid (which, of course, with more scientific knowledge, might not be valid at all eventually) in different contexts. Take for example the theorem that the sum of the angles on a triangle is 180. And the theorem that the sum of the angles of a triangle is greater than 180. Both are theorems and equally valid in their own contexts: one in planar geometry and the other in spherical geometry.
Math has helped me hate people less. (Also, having strict control over which people I am forced to interact with has helped me hate people less). To you, it may be true that money made from value devoid pursuits and popularity is indeed the ultimate measure of success and worth. To me, it may be true that you're douche. But we don't have to fight about it. Let's go into our own very special fields and do our own math.
Not to say that I don't enjoy the fighting over the "This is Jane" pictures that's happening on my Facebook feed. It actually gives me googles of giggles. Please continue.
