I think it’s funny how the above statement implies that the one
absolute rule is that there are no absolute rules.

If there is a rule that are no absolute rules, then you still have one
rule.

That sums up my frustration with modern philosophy.  It is all
phenomenology in disguise.  Russell’s fans can’t even agree whether
reality is an objective real thing versus a shared hallucination.
