I agree.


Pragmatism is short-term, whim based.

Priciples, correctly done, are self-corrective. Pragmatism leads, as we see
in current society, the heaping on of more and more "corrective action" in
the form of "vicious cycles". (Think" "Throw more money at the problem".)

well, pragmatism is not necessarily bad, and is NOT "whim based"

Pragmastism isn't really part of the problem. Short-sighted goals and
selfishness labelled as pragmatism is.

It's not? What is your definition of "whim"?

What's wrong with selfishness? Selfishness is not necessarily short-term
based. Done right it's long-term.

Pragmatism: a practical approach to problems and affairs.

Whim: A sudden turn or start of the mind. NOTION, FANCY

It's hard for me to reconcile "practical" with "whim", they aren't
even close.

Selfishness that only gives priority to oneself is rarely beneficial to others
in the short-term or the long-term.
