This section of my class has to do with Pragmatism. I'm okay at Philosophy, but I'm having a hard time understanding what the actual question is asking. Can someone just assist me in what the question is really asking in layman's terms? Here it is word for word:

If you were a pragmatist, how would you reconcile your belief that you can know your experience with your belief that an objective reality exists?

My thoughts: If I was a pragmatist, why would I reconcile my belief? And pragmatism is all about experience and objective reality, so why the challenge? I feel as if I'm missing the point in the question. Please help clarify. Thanks.

If humans act according to reason, emotion and desire, then are any of our actions truely 'free'....?

i.e.

Reason is directed by logical rules and predetermined intellectual capacity, emotions are involuntary and desire spawned from urges.

Because I feel a bit odd in my head, as though someone is upset and needs help, don't ask me how I know, I just do.

for being frightened?

Honestly- a lot of people support shooting men like that so let's see how they deal with it when there's some 'equality' in it.

The time of equality is upon us, aren't we lucky?

Why do people who believe in God make up every damn excuse they can to justify his existence? How many rabbits can you pull out the biblical hat? Why do believers justify, to no ends, every contradiction in the bible, or if not contradiction, scientific fallacy?

And now I'm done with religion, and back to my secularist ways. I hope. There may be a second coming of my Atheistic heathenism.

Thank you in advance for all comments I am sure to recieve in lieu of answers.

I think that there are lots of "truths" that actually are arbitrary beliefs stated as illusions of truth.

Can truths only be based on experiments?

Are truths limited by our own nature, us humans living on Earth-planet?

I ask this only to stir some real thought here. In reality our lives really are pointless, because they end. I'm not talking about describing your life's goals, and leaving your mark, type of thing. Life itself's purpose is really to serve itself until it ends. So why do we value our human lives so much?
