Pragmatism

• Jul, 02 2025

What happens when truth no longer matters—only success? In this thought-provoking episode, we trace how modern politics and culture have embraced a dangerous form of pragmatism where “what works” replaces what’s right. From 1850s Boston to today’s halls of power, unprincipled pragmatism has eroded judgment, paralyzed morality, and replaced hope with hollow victories. If you’ve ever wondered why so much feels broken—even when things seem to be working—this conversation will challenge your assumptions and point to a deeper foundation worth building on.
