>if it werks for me, it's true Are pragmatists the ultimate

They're ininfitely more tolerable than the rest of you theoretical cocksuckers, that's for sure.

Pragmatism is retarded desu

>>9862594
Pragmatism puts truth into a context. It's not stupid, it's how one can operate in this world. With mere theories you can always question them until paralysis.

>>9862594
Wait you actually think that describes pragmatism?
Hahahahahhaahhahaahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahaahahahah

Would that not fit into sophism more than pragmatism?

"Truth is what works" was probably the most devastating statement of the past millennium. We will not recover from it for at least as long

>Strawmanning pragmatism
The only anti-intellectual here is OP.

*relativism, kermit is about as pragmatic as is the current pope catholic

Sophistry is pilpul. Social manipulation. Useful but meaningless words. What remains true is the objective.

If it doesn't work than why bother?

>implying Peterson isn't a shameless social manipulator

>>9864141
I'm not implying that Peterson isn't a social manipulator. Heck, he is a professor, a teacher. The tone is, and will always be from a position of authority. What he manipulates the world or people around into, that's a matter of 'objective', and comparing them.
>shameless
That's not what Peterson is, though.
