Added some information
Pragmatism is a form of [[nihilism]] since it rejects philosophical principles, it is also similar to [[moral relativism]]. Liberals often use pragmatism to advocate for ideas based not on morals or principles but on what is more practical. Such as cheating may be perceived as a more practical way to pass a class, or win a game, despite it being wrong. Pragmatism also leads to the opposition of Conservative ideas, for instance, President [[Ronald Reagan]] called for the war on drugs, which may liberals oppose on the basis on what is practical rather than morals and principles.

==Mediocrity==
Pragmatism also causes mediocrity. As Greatness, being the antithesis of mediocrity, comes from daring to think great thoughts and take great risks, however being realistic prevents this. This raises the question and thought of "What would [[Thomas Edison]] or Nicola Tesla invented if they had decided to be realistic instead of pursuing their dream? The same applies to [[Rockefeller]], Morgan, or Getty? Where would they be if they had been realistic?" <ref>https://philosiblog.com/2013/03/01/being-realistic-is-the-most-common-path-to-mediocrity/</ref> This all hinders [[innovation]], as the people who make real differences in this world are not focused on the odds, or coming up with endless reasons why something can’t work. <ref>https://lisa-christiansen.com/2012/05/17/the-most-common-road-to-mediocrity-is-being-realistic/</ref>
