@terrakei07: humanities are useless, but thatā€™s ā€œfrom be usefulā€. Only those who can get the message should get the message. @koshian: Well, Iā€™m 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 thereā€™s actually a connection between studying thought and why Iā€™m a programmer. Iā€™ve always hated the idea of pragmatism because I never understood it. Iā€™m learning about computers and the internet, and this is a bunch of pragmatism, and I ā€œfellā€ with too big of a shock!

""usefulā€ to ā€œuselessā€ is a very interesting expression.

  • But there seem to be a lot of people who donā€™t get the messageā€¦
  • My understanding.
    • Pragmatism: ā€œWhat is useful to me is the right thing to do.ā€
    • This, in the eyes of others, is ā€œI donā€™t understand why he said one thing is right and then said something very similar is not rightā€ (= his argument is useless).
