@terrakei07: humanities are useless, but thatās āfrom be usefulā. Only those who can get the message should get the message. @koshian: Well, Iām one of those people who spent a lot of time in the history of Western thought when I was young, so I understand very well. I understand. ā¦ @koshian: I think thereās actually a connection between studying thought and why Iām a programmer. Iāve always hated the idea of pragmatism because I never understood it. Iām learning about computers and the internet, and this is a bunch of pragmatism, and I āfellā with too big of a shock!
""usefulā to āuselessā is a very interesting expression.
- But there seem to be a lot of people who donāt get the messageā¦
- My understanding.
- Pragmatism: āWhat is useful to me is the right thing to do.ā
- This, in the eyes of others, is āI donāt understand why he said one thing is right and then said something very similar is not rightā (= his argument is useless).
