    Useless, if you believe that whatever generates monetary value in capitalism is what defines usefulness. To many people who don’t dedicate their life to money, rather people who find value in knowledge or culture or something, it’s very useful.

      Its not about money, its about usefulness to society. If society does not need it, its useless.

        What is “usefulness to society”? Why do you think you get to say what is and isn’t useful to society? You think that history, archeology, anthropology, etc. are useless?

          Its plain to see that its useless. The guy can’t get a job and if it was useful, he’d be able to.

            insisting that capitalism is actually effective at determining the true value/usefulness of things to humanity shows that you haven’t surpassed a 5th grade level understanding of capitalism

            looking at your comment history i’m actually pretty sure you’re just 15 or something and have never had what you think of as a “useful” job…
