The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

My hypothetical is the same... "IMHO, the most intelligent national choice is pulling the levers for enviros, provided that everybody does the same to prevent the ongoing environmental disaster unfolding before us.

Except you know that the proviso isn't true. It's not true that everybody else will do the same. So it's not always intelligent to always pull the lever for enviros. Short term or long term. That's not pragmatism. If the circumstances don't exist where it would be the intelligent choice to pull the lever for an enviro, then it's not intelligent to pull the lever for the enviro in those circumstances. It's not merely the pragmatic choice - it's the intelligent choice.
