The Importance of Useless Knowledge
For some unfamiliar cause, mankind are inclined to treasure and from time to time soak up useless knowledge. These useless knowledge facts is the resultant of millenia of fact collection and arrangement performed by nations all over the world. Our draw to random useless facts may be just as much a byproduct of our personal existential urge to gather data to help us describe ourselves within that world. Our individuality may very well be in the myriad knowledge gathered since the start of scrivened humanlike civilization.
While we are so frequently confused about the significance of these seemingly useless bits of knowledge, we are nonethless driven by them. Lists of these facts have been accumulated for ages. Even in the modern era, we see them in tomes like “Guinness World Records”, whose publication has been in the hands of many hundreds of thousands members of our species. Within these lists, we find that our own different pursuits and neuroses are not, in fact, so other. This provides us with a degree of solace that may help us continue moving in the style we have become wonted to.
If we inhabited a cultural space whose goals and motives were not accumulated, our our own enduring spirit might also be destroyed by time.
