Whatever Works
|
IMDB rating: 8.20 Plot: Attempting to impress his ideologies on religion, relationships, and the randomness (and worthlessness) of existence, lifelong New York resident Boris Yellnikoff rants to anyone who will listen, including the audience. But when he begrudgingly allows naive Mississippi runaway Melodie St. Ann Celestine to live in his apartment, his reclusive rages give way to an unlikely friendship and Boris begins to mold the impressionable young girl’s worldly views to match his own. When it comes to love, “whatever works” is his motto, but his already perplexed life complicates itself further when Melodie’s parents eventually track her down. |

If pragmatic would it make sense to say "Whatever works is true"?
Only if you use a highly distorted interpretation of the word "true". Semantically, the word "true" is generally understood to mean "in accordance with the facts insofar as they can be determined and demonstrated". Thus if a car is in proper working order and runs fine the statement that it works would be true, but the statement that the car is true would be meaningless. One factor of pragmatism is learning what the words we use actually mean so that we can articulate our thoughts in coherent, concise, and nuanced fashion, failure to do that makes any kind of shared information impossible.
