You're misunderstanding my post. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I think that satisfying your own curiosity/the desire for knowledge is a valid reason to pursue knowledge. I don't think knowledge needs to be directly useful to be worth pursuing. But, all cultures amd people pursue knowledge they believe to be valuable in some way. No culture encourages it's people to record the number of specs of dust on their floor before they sweep just because they value truth.
