Also, what value do you place on pragmatism?

    I am exactly pragmatic enough to know that I am not truly pragmatic.

    For personal, trivial things when I have something I like I will keep it that way until it falls apart or becomes ridiculously outmoded. I do not pretend there is logic to them.

    I tend to like the simplest things for daily use objects but that’s not “pragmatism,” it’s preference. Even when something nicer is available, lol. I waited until my phone was freezing when opening a calculator AND it would no longer charge to upgrade it, even though it was likely justified a year and a half before that.

      mmmm. I mean its pragmatic to use something if it meets your needs and not buy a new one that does not increase your productivity or something enough in relation to its costs.

      That’s a logical answer. I consider myself pretty pragmatic on most things but I’m the same as you with objects I use.
