At what frequency in the visible spectrum do we find black light, oh wise one? |
This is my first and probably my last post on this thread. I had this "no black'n'white, no gray" debate with a friend in college. Said friend became really offended when I said that "Black and white are merely abstractions of gray." But I never said that there were not in fact whiter or blacker grays, or that just because these gradations exist on a continuum we can never say this or that is not, for the most part, wrong or right.
This seems to be the same conversation: If no absolute black or white, then all is the same shade of gray, ergo moral relativism! Which is ludicrous.
-------------- Which came first: the shimmy, or the hip?
