What is “useful”? Are humans useful?

• emodendroket 8y ago
  Personally I'd accept an anthropocentric view that takes humanity's importance as an unexamined premise and rates other species as "useful" to the extent that they positively affect humans (whether directly or indirectly). I imagine the OP has a similar idea, although for the reasons others have pointed out I don't think it necessarily comes together here.

  Awfully important though. Consider the all-powerful god who can create a universe, and all he thinks about all day long is us.
