The Relative/absolute fallacy

Similar to Ken Wilber's "Pre/trans fallacy", which is about conflating pre-rational views with trans-rational views, the Relative/absolute fallacy is about conflating relative perspectives with The Absolute perspective. This is the main source of confusion in the forms of spirituality that deal with the implications of non-duality (Oneness).

There are generally two levels to the fallacy:

1. The first level is the conflation that happens when you don't have knowledge about the distinction between the relative and The Absolute (dual/non-dual). This is common in pre-rational religious people (Wilber). The way that traditional religion interprets various holy texts is itself a good example.

2. The second level happens when you do have knowledge about the distinction between relative and absolute (but it's obviously not complete knowledge). This is common in (aspiring) trans-rational people. A common example is to think that because nothing ultimately really matters, morality doesn't matter, and therefore it's fine to for example hurt other people. This is to conflate "the relative" with "The Absolute". From The Absolute perspective, yes, nothing really matters, but morality can only ever be defined "relative" to a certain value system in the first place. By taking the absolute perspective, you're deliberately stepping outside of all value systems, but "it's fine to hurt other people" would be a moral statement, which means you're actually invoking a relative perspective.

You're conflating relative perspectives with The Absolute perspective ("The Relative/Absolute Fallacy").

relative position

In social studies relative position is the position of a place or entity based on its location with respect to other locations. Relative location, unlike absolute location is not a fixed reference. Relative location will therefore change based on the secondary location.

the United States is located south of Canada that is an example of relative position

Fusion Relative

A family relation in which there are two relationships at the same time - examples would be if a man has a child with two sisters, those kids would be siblings and cousins at the same time. If a man has a child with a mother and her daughter (from another man) those two kids would be siblings and aunt-uncle/niece-nephew at the same time.

What do you mean Timmy is your fusion relative? He's your brother and your uncle at the same time? Dude take that to Jerry Springer.

Relative Pressure

Your uncle or other significant relative pushing a beer into for hands and saying, "Here, drink this!"

Comperable to peer pressure.

I got so drunk at the Christmas party due to the relative pressure.
