Does theory have any real utility if it's not applied?

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 14 22:43:03 2020 No.17031171 >>17031149 Potentially

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 14 23:37:06 2020 No.17031550 >>17031149 >>17031171 Only if some applies it later, otherwise it's just recreation

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 15 00:15:42 2020 No.17031772 >>17031149 Theory only has utility if it's not applied. Practice is gay.

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 15 00:18:09 2020 No.17031783 >>17031149 Yes, but only for a small subset of ideas and then only if parts or offshoots of the theory can later be applied. Pure math comes to mind.

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 15 00:33:55 2020 No.17031854 >>17031149 the real dichotomy is model vs process

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 15 00:35:11 2020 No.17031863 >>17031847 Yes, anything that is possible can be achieved through repeated practice, but it'll be extremely inefficient. Are you trying to sound like a midwit?

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 15 00:37:01 2020 No.17031872 >>17031863 That doesn't answer the question. Much of no utility whatsoever can be achieved through repeated practice, for example—your posts.

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 15 00:45:44 2020 No.17031913 >>17031149 Poesis is too often ignored in discussions concerning theory and practice.

It does answer the question, there are an infinite amount of combinations of actions and a subset of them produce things people might assign value to, one does not need to know beforehand if a collection of actions produce value or not for it to do so in practice.

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 15 00:52:27 2020 No.17031945 >>17031925 Sounds theoretical

Theory works as a reflective plan(ification) about what you need, or can, do. Theory without praxis isn't bad, what is bad are reactionary academics/intellectuals who say other people "don't do that yet, because you need to work more on your theory".

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 15 01:29:47 2020 No.17032121 >>17031945 Of course, but that does not change how it works in practice.
