Theory of relativeity

This is a comic reference to nepotism, the hiring of relatives.
It looks like the Hardings are practicing the theory of relativeity again!

The meta-concept that relativism itself—the idea that truth and morality are not absolute but relative to culture or perspective—is a constructed intellectual framework that emerged in specific historical and academic contexts. It's not the "default" view of reality; it's a built tool for critiquing absolutism and colonialism. Its widespread adoption (or rejection) is a social phenomenon, showing how even our philosophies about truth are constructions of their time.
*Example: "My professor dismissed a moral critique by saying, 'That's just your Western perspective.' I hit him with the Theory of Constructed Relativism: 'Isn't your radical relativism also a product of 20th-century postmodern academia? You're using one constructed lens (relativism) to dismiss another (universal rights), pretending your lens is just the clear sky.'"*
