Words are not magical things with me. I look for underlying
concepts. You want to call it pragmatism and reject me calling
it "faith in pragmatism-as-bearer-of-truth" that's fine. But
when you say pragmatism, after our conversation tonight, I will
see it as, "faith in pragmatism as bearer of truth" when it
comes from you. I've learned something of your system that you
assign truth values to. Other stuff. I don't know what they
are yet. I haven't seen them. My eyes stay open. I'm agnostic
about what I don't know. It's likely we're not so far off from
each other; the difference is, I don't reject what I haven't
seen: I just say, "I don't know".
