I love the stories here, but this article seems so “duh, of course” to me that I wonder, is there really a target audience who doesn’t think “splendid useless” (I would use the term “beautiful”) things are a huge part of the life well lived?
Maybe I don’t know enough hustlers?
- quickthrower2 4y agoYes they exist but they confirmation bis their own hobbies as “useful” even though they too have hobbies!
- rakejake 4y agoWhen I read this, I also though "duh". Yet, consuming articles like this from time to time is useful to remind you of "splendid uselessness" because, as the article suggests, the world around us is orthogonal to this. So your day-to-day is not aligned to this, and the default is to view everything through an economic productivity lens.
