hopeless relativists

It seems that many questions are meaningless, but in retrospect, whether there is meaning or not is relative.

For example, in the virtual world, programs can be modified, so can the laws of nature in the real world be modified?
For example, should we be in awe of our creator, God, or should we turn the world upside down just like the robots in the movie treat humans?
For example, are the real and virtual worlds full of lies, is there a universal definition of what is true and what is false, or is it purely self-perception?
Are subjective perceptions important, or objective facts?

I've thought about it and it's all relative. Different people, different time and space, different choices.
We modify the genetic sequence, like modifying the program, we may create a virus-like monster, or we may produce a drug-like tool.
We respect God, and we live cautiously and safely, and we can also be destroyed by religious fanaticism.
Even if you live in reality, you will also be deceived by some illusions.

As if I had become a hopelessly relativist.

The Animatrix quotes

  • Cis: Operator, please! Get me out of here right now. Operator, I need an exit!

    Duo: It's no use. I told you. I've blocked your signal.

  • The Instructor: The prolonged barrage engulfed Zero-One in the glow of a thousand suns. But unlike their former masters with their delicate flesh, the machines had little to fear of the bombs' radiation and heat. Thus did Zero-One's troops advance outwards in every direction. And one after another, mankind surrendered its territories. So the leaders of men conceived of their most desperate strategy yet. A final solution: the destruction of the sky.
