There are a lot of useless, passionate, dedicated people running around (misguided != talented). I prefer to avoid them.

  We must have very different definitions of "useless", "passionate" and "dedicated". Here are mine: Useless: Inconsequential, meaningless, that has no useful result. Passionate: Derives genuine happiness and a feeling of fulfilment when doing some particular thing. Dedicated: Demonstrates perseverence and involvement in a nontrivial task, spanning a nontrivial amount of time. Per those definitions, I don't see how someone can possibly be simultaneously useless, passionate and dedicated.

    One could split hairs here indefinitely, especially debating the nature of what being useful means and to whom.
