Uselessness: Man's Most Valuable Tool

"Useless: Mankind's Precious Tool?" " is an interesting academic monograph. Many authors elaborate on the value and significance of uselessness from various aspects such as architecture, art, and urban planning.

Is uselessness a tool? Acquisition of tools is the secret of humans and what distinguishes us from animals. However, we also use tools to tell stories and make useless objects. Uselessness rarely meets our expectations, but it can also be charming and liberating because it sidesteps the logic of the use = value equation.

If the future renders us useless, then it will be necessary to reconsider our attitudes toward uselessness. This reading on the subject teases out the potential creativity of the future trend of "uselessness" (where we will become useless).
