Fascinating, truly.

I too think that relativism is, at its heart, bankrupt. I'm not sure how we define the absolutes, precisely, but I'd say that humans pretty much agree on them, actually, and where custom and tradition cause deviations, the deviations are ones that the societies that practice them feel are a sad necessity rather than a joyful good.

I think the book would frighten me, though.
