Delusions believed by billions are still delusions and the truth of one humanity embraced by even one human is still the truth.” – Abhijit Naskar
there’s skepticism about
realism, naturalism, and scientism
there’s absurdism about
racism and sexism, even ageism
there’s optimism or pessimism
about capitalism, communism,
and socialism
don’t forget about
egoism and materialism,
idealism, functionalism, quietism,
romanticism, and even bonism*
thus the need for escapism
and so it goes

So many -isms. I suppose there might be room for pragmatism? I hope so!
