Relativism about truth is a self-refuting claim — the claim that there is no objective truth is itself an objective truth claim
Mike's primary philosophical rebuttal to relativism.
Mike argues that 'there is no objective truth' is demonstrably self-refuting: if it is true, then objective truth exists. He recommends asking the friend 'how did you come to know that to be true?' as a Socratic mirror technique. He notes this is easy to demonstrate logically but difficult to change someone's mind about emotionally.
