#Pragmatism

Pragmatic theory loudly proclaims that if it works, it is truth, bartering ideals and consistency at the altar of outcomes. At every debate it chants "results are the only evidence," dragging discourse into the swamp of outcome worship. It alchemically transmutes abstract ideals into numbers and metrics, turning philosophy into a business plan. Claiming flexibility, it conceals a thinness that hawks substance for convenience. In the end it leads to the absurd credo "efficiency is virtue," treating the word "truth" as a disposable commodity.

Pragmatism is the incarnation of a philosophy that sanctifies outcomes alone and dismisses means as mere ornamentation. Theory bows before practice, and conviction is swallowed by market forces. Cloaked in lofty debates in textbooks, it preaches the creed of "victory is truth, failure is waste." Its followers venerate problem-solving as alchemy and lull contradictions with the chant of "Is it useful?" Only the next result is worshipped, while the past is promptly expunged from memory.
