pragmatic theory
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.
