I was thinking the whole point of learning was to get the tools you need to produce what you want. And that usually what we want is too far away for a beginner, so the best way to keep motivation alive is to create lots of tiny side projects that use what you've learned. But if no one here reads the Greeks for anything more than to understand the references in later works, then it must be a meme.

I don't like learning for the sake of learning. Aside from it tasting heavily like school propaganda, it's a cop-out for the sensory deprivation people get when they put in a ton of work and have nothing to show for it. A-at least you learned something! Congratulations, you have divorced yourself from interacting with and truly appreciating your environment because you were too scared/lazy/arrogant enough to do anything other than consume. I'm reminded of a cabbage in a science fiction story that just learned all day. It's a fucking vegetable, it doesn't do anything!

Holy shit fuck off back to you know where.
>Learning for the sake of learning
>Bad in any capacity

Why do you think people become versed in fields other than their own? To inform themselves purely? Not really, it's because it helps build a more whole, picture of the World, that knowledge isn't just insular, it informs your actions and decisions that yunno are environmental, they effect how you interact with the world and perceive it, it's not useless at all, to be honest I have no idea how you could come to such a flimsy conclusion. Are you a rugby player?
