Pragmatism is about rejoicing and being happy.  Pragmatism is that it is more pleasant to be joyful and healthy than to grieve, get sick and rot from self-pity.  Pragmatism is about loving what is available, seeking joy in the here and now.  The ignoramus suffers about what he does not have, and envies  absent.  The pragmatist rejoices in what he has, looking for a source of joy, life and energy in it.

Pragmatism is the pursuit of ideality in the sense that the simpler, the closer to the ideal.  Pragmatism is an expression of the thesis "Keep it simple."  Pragmatism is an expression of the razor principle  Occam.  Being simpler means being smaller, staying within your boundaries, taming desires, and all that.

10.73059. Dialectical pragmatism.     AR AR

The essence of dialectical materialism was to harmoniously link idealism and materialism, but this was not successful because people forgot that an ideal triangle in the real world turns into a quadrangular pyramid.  The trinity is perfect, and the square is a symbol of the imperfection of the real world.  Dialectical materialism is only half the truth, the other half of the truth is dialectical idealism.  The unity of dialectical materialism and idealism form what can be called dialectical pragmatism.

Dialectical pragmatism is the knowledge that everything is good if there is knowledge, why it is and how to use it.  Knowledge begets good, and ignorance begets bad.

You say pragmatism rules the world, and I say ignorance, lies, and pride rule the world.  However, let's clarify.  Unconscious pragmatism rules the world.  That is, all the scenarios played out are good and pragmatic, but most people do not understand the scenario, resist it and suffer.

The essence of pragmatism is that if something exists, then we can benefit from it.  Pragmatism is the art of making use of what is available here and now.  Another facet of pragmatism is the ability to consider the benefits of phenomena in the dynamics of space-time.  Pragmatism is the knowledge of the good.  By the way, a true pragmatist can benefit not only from presence, but also from absence.  Sometimes it is more useful not to benefit than to benefit.  Excess benefit, that is, overkill of benefits, from the point of view of pragmatism is dangerous.

The essence of pragmatism is serving the good with all available tools.  Pragmatism is equally loyal to materialism and idealism, rationalism and irrationalism.  A true pragmatist is a philosopher who has knowledge of the good.  False knowledge of the good turns the pragmatist into a suicide.

From a pragmatic point of view, life itself is important, not whether it is right from a rational point of view or not.  Rationalism cannot prove or disprove anything.  The madmen, the psychopaths, and the arrogant are totally rational within themselves, but this only removes them from reality.  What is the function of rational?  The creation of tools and things, and no more  that.

They say knowledge is a faithful servant of pragmatism, but what does a proud pragmatist want?  He wants to fulfill his desires.  However, from the point of view of pragmatism, suicide is not good.  Many people think that the fulfillment of their desires is a blessing.  Others say, be afraid of your desires, because they are the source of all your misfortunes.

The book  Variothoughts are what will decorate you from the inside.  People love to decorate themselves with things on the outside, but how to fill the inner voids?  Such people resemble beautiful soap bubbles.  No way!  Bracelets do not adorn people.  Not beads of moon-shimmering pearls.  No incense, no garlands,no complicated hairstyles.  It's not solid.
