Pragnaing

Responding to a direct inquiry with nonsensical or irrelevant information to intentionally evade providing a meaningful answer.
"Gowtham! You've missed two meetings and have not notified us in advance, what's the reason for this?"

"My mic had issues that I was trying to resolve, I understand text messages may not be the best way to communicate this and verbal communication may be more effective. Also I've been travelling a lot recently and haven't intentionally avoided any meetings."

"Sure, but can you tell me why you didn't notify me in advance?"

"It was a challenging time for me, a lot was happening simultaneously. I've had some personal errands I had to attend to."

"Okay... can I take it that you'll notify me in advance the next time this happens?"

"Thanks for your understanding, and I look forward to working together to resolve these concerns."

"You really need to quit pragnaing"

Logical Pragmatism

A philosophical approach that judges the validity of ideas, arguments, and beliefs primarily by their practical consequences and usefulness in navigating the world, rather than by their abstract, formal logical purity or their correspondence to an absolute "truth." If a belief leads to successful prediction, effective action, or psychological well-being, it holds pragmatic value, even if it contains logical imperfections or is unprovable in a closed system.
Example: Believing in free will, despite philosophical debates about determinism, is Logical Pragmatism. The belief has immense practical consequences—it underpins our systems of law, morality, and personal motivation. Even if it's logically fuzzy, it's useful and thus, for a pragmatist, holds a form of validity that a perfectly logical but paralyzing belief in absolute determinism does not.
