So what's cooking here?

I looked at your page and saw this in your profile: "fierce defender of integral perspective"...
and I thought, hmmm.. isn't that an oxymoron? I mean, "integral" starts with the realization that there are many perspectives coexisting at any given time, from which people form opinions/beliefs/ideas. It continues with the idea that different perspectives can be integrated, so that seemingly conflicting ideas/beliefs can be seen (and used) in their proper place and context, thus eliminating the conflict.
That's my take on it, anyway.
Now if anyone opposes, attacks or tries to invalidate "integral perspectives", what is there to defend? they're just proving the point (of different perspective, etc.).
A simplified version of my argument is this: if I say "everyone are right, in one way or another" and someone says "that's bulshit" it would be silly of me to say "you're wrong, that's not bulshit but the truth". And so on.
Thanks for your attention,
Peace,
