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

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.


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

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

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