I don't like either positivism or pragmatism, but their texts can teach us one important thing: it is wrong to trust a simple philosophy or theory if it lacks practical implications. In such cases, we should seek either practical application or a better theory or philosophy.
Ludwig Wittgenstein was neither orange nor green: he was as teal as Ken Wilber himself. Pragmatism in general, and positivism in particular, may emerge at every stage of value dynamics: they are the result of a lack of wisdom, not a lack of ethics.
