Well does any of those "coinages" ring a bell in your mind ?
...or is just, en passent, facile, a 1 word pseudo place holder for its value ?
Bring the hammer and bash away !
@Fil Albuquerque,
It's neither; anything can be subjectively interpreted, and adverbs are infinite.
@Fil Albuquerque,
None of the above...i regard myself as a pragmatist. As i take it, pragmatists view ideas as tools, and thought as a historical process (albeit, one that does not undermine the individual thinker's role in it).
Pragmatists tend to get things done.
@izzythepush,
I fully agree with the claim...but my imbued perhaps venomous suggestion was to mean, to ask, if such preference doesn't also imply pragmatists rather be left with "easy tasking", regarding the decaying business of philosophising ?
@Fil Albuquerque,
Progress has to be preferable to inertia, which is what you get when two sets of idealists can't agree about anything

...fair reply...hence my suggestion on the second option in the OP...
I just want to get some feedback on how people feel about it...
...although...inertia is not always and necessarily a bad thing prevented of course it is not permanent...taking time to pounder instead of rushing into a door can be helpful.
...in the extreme opposite end of the spectrum Dom Quixote can be both regarded as a fool or a noble soul...it takes a bit of personal opinion to decide which.
@Fil Albuquerque,
I know, I tend to confine my thoughts to the material world. I can see the negative aspects of pragmatism philosophically speaking, but in terms of running a country it's essential.
@izzythepush,
ah...you brought in the machine gun...that one is a killer. Fully agree !
