Hi Matt Ian had summarised: Taking the pragamatic view simply as food for more thought, argument and justification (of what constitutes success or value) is just more of the intellectual game. And a game it is; an intellectual arms race, snowballing ever larger to ever diminishing returns; taking our eye off the real ball ... living real life.
Matt responded: That's not exactly what I meant. If we take Dewey's view on what reflection is, we live our lives according to a set of habits and reflecting takes us out of the regular stream of life to think about the habits we typically use. Ian says - Agreed, clearly not exactly, I wrote two sentences in response to your two pages. Yes we reflect on experience, but we never forget that the experiencing is the point rather than reflection being "simply" the point of life, any more than experiencing life without reflection is. The unexamined life, etc ... Raising the reflection to the meta-level of (your word) "habits" of experiencing and reflecting is key ... the reason I keep banging on about (my word) "memes".
