Thank you for participating. I think I might be in the minority here with my preference for pragmatism. [edit; apparently not] Since you’re so early is there any phrasing you would like me to edit? I tried to keep it neutral but maybe you see something that could be leading people to one particular choice? Also would you be in favor of having more polls (say, once a week)?
For philosophical questions like this, I think there should always be a “the question is malformed” option, distinct from “unsure/no preference”. Surveyees need a way to express their opinion that the question is wrong.
As for having more polls, it depends what the polls are on. With this question, I do not care very much how other people vote. I am curious about the underlying logic, which isn’t something you can see in a poll. On the other hand, I am curious about this site’s demographics.
Well if you think (for example) that you can do both there is always the option of “other philosophy”, but I will nonetheless include that in the future. And I will make a (cursory) site demographic poll next week.
