  • Abstract
    The two mindsets of absolutism and relativism are juxtaposed, and the relational or relativist stance is vindicated. The only ‘absoluteʹ entity which undeniably exists, consciousness has the reality of a dream. The escape hatch from this prison is relational, as Descartes and Levinas found out: Unfalsified relational consistency implies exteriority. Exteriority implies infinite power which in turn makes compassion inevitable. Aside from ethics as a royal way to enlightenment, a new technology called ‘deep technologyʹ may be accessible. It changes the whole world in a demonstrable fashion by manipulation of the micro frame—that is, the observer-world interface.
