If all truths are relative, how does he know he's picked the right one? What criteria is he using? Utility? If so, how does he know his truth is most useful, if all knowledge is relative? You see how this creates an infinite regress?

We all have the capacity to reason. We'll never know the whole truth, but we all know an approximation of truth that is true enough to make predictions about the future, for example. This is a sufficient basis for reason.

I see you like to reference Sam Harris... if you listen to the <5 minute clip I posted you'll see JBP describe how one might map out one's oughts in nearly the exact same way that Harris does, proceeding from acknowledgement of the existence of suffering and moving away from it.
