What makes literature and philosophy worth studying? What makes them not useless? What have they done for humanity in the past 4000 years? Why are you studying stories and someone's mental masturbation instead of learning to code and contributing to humanity?

Developing apps is not a contribution to humanity, bugman.

Most "apps" are brain parasites, and so are their devs.

If your job is to make the advertisement click rates higher for a mobile game you should reconsider if your life is worth living.

Damn near everything. They are the foundation of all politics, states, science, and learning.

>code and contribute to humanity

AKA paving the way for automation for your globalist overlords.
It's like idealogues who facilitated the gulags because they thought it would create utopia.

To be fair code also allows you to automate the boring shit nobody wants to do. The problem is it doesn't liberate people from their jobs so that they can enjoy life, it just makes jobless which in our society is considered like an infectious disease.
Our economic system truly is fucked. Aristotles himself implicitly recognized that automating manual labor could in theory erase the need for slavery. We're automating plenty, but we still have slaves. We're still behind Aristotles, 2400 year after his death.

Some of his points are... fairly fair (esp in the second vid), but he's someone who's spent too much time on the coding level and can't see the forest for the trees anymore.

It produces new ideas which is something computers don't do.
