In general, I think politicians get blamed for a lot

But the motherfucker is the herd

People want illusions

This never worked for me however

Education's benefits map to the bell curve.

Politicians are using it as an anti-poverty program.

As you probably know, I avoid Wikipedia and other Google projects, but I appreciate the clarification.

As a student of English, I suggest we all consider saying "realist consequentialism" because anything else will be repurposed.

@monarchist Means 'whatever needs to be done/said/etc for "goals", even if it goes against one's ethics. However I dont believe pragmatists have such a thing as ethics (1/2 kidding). It's also a short way of saying "I sell out". @h4890 @Palky55 @freepatriot

@heretical_i @h4890 @Palky55 @freepatriot

By definition, if ethics (reframing: big social goals) are sacrificed in order to make small goals happen, then pragmatism would be a rejection of ethics.

@heretical_i @h4890 @Palky55 @freepatriot

I do not agree. Any behavior standard involves goals, if abstracted to the level of consequences.

The politicians make sure 'education' indoctrinates the herd. It's the law you know @monarchist? Did you mean that cosmic cookie author Virginia Safir? Havent seen that name since the 1970s @h4890 @Palky55 @freepatriot

I dont buy your reframung. You're describing morals then, which are mutable. Ethics arent @monarchist @h4890 @Palky55 @freepatriot

Linguist? Absolutely. Safir is a propagandist for 'cosmic hipster' proglibs last I knew.. in the late 1970s @monarchist If I wanted a linguist I'd read chomsky, thanks @h4890 @Palky55 @freepatriot
