Went to see Eskmo in the mountains last night. The opening DJs were all American Bass types, a style of music which I loathe pretty deeply, and the crowd was half of that curious crossbreed of trustafarian and rave kid that American Bass music seems to generate, and half frat boys doing that exagerrated patting motions with their arms they do when they're pumped about music. It's weird, last time I went to a club it was great because I felt like I had something in common with everyone there, but this time I felt like I had nothing in common - they weren't there to see what I wanted to see. Was accosted by rolling kids twice, asked for ecstasy I didn't have once. Something about so many people utilizing music as an enhancement for chemically induced sensations instead of an experience in and of itself struck me as distasteful, like smothering steak in ketchup. Probably wouldn't have been so bad if I wasn't the only person I met who was both sober and not on probation. Even the security was lighting up.
Stayed for Eskmo, which was alright but not great since I wasn't feeling the crowd at all (plus my legs were sore from moving earlier in the day), and left before Ana Sia's set to beat what would have been nightmarish two-lane highway traffic in the canyon. Walking to and from my car with the canyon lit by moonlight was probably a better experience than the show. Almost hit a deer on the way back, natch.

Like it seems pretty easy on the surface but if you try to read the first couple of pages of Moral Relativism by Steven Lukes you quickly gather just how gosh dang complicated it can be.

it seemed like he meant "absolute values" in the mathematical sense, as in the distance away from zero, which is generally considered to be a pretty simple subject (the absolute value of negative 4 is 4, for example). but I dunno.
Ladybug:
Absolute values are covered early on in university maths as well, though. I remember learning about it in middle school (I think – might've been first year in high school), but it was basically just "the absolute value is the value you get when you remove the minus in front of a number", not why or whatever.
