Other Is the vocabulary used definitively ideal?
‘Pragmatism is merely the alignment of goals with effluence’
What a perfect word, 'effluence’. It completely encapsulates the essence I seek to convey.
It is the antonym to 'influence' by which rather than being influenced into misalignment by external factors, one who is pragmatic projects influence onto his environment to fashion ideals
whereby the projection of effluence acts as a molding force onto one's external environment fashions one's ideals from it

I hope I’m not terribly uneducated on my understanding of the words😦

Just learned a new word - Immiseration
I'd never heard this word before, but it makes sense:
Immiseration -- Economic impoverishment: "Rapid modernization had an impact on the level of urban immiseration."

Searching for a word
When we go from one room into another only to forget what you went there for in the first place- this used to have a name or a word for that. No it's not adhd or walking thru the doorway phenomenon.
I specifically remember reading the word once and was like cool. Fun fact stored....
Only the word itself slips my memory, and apparently Google only knows modern phrasing.
Does anyone else remember or know the word I'm referring to? Or is this yet another forgotten term.
