MeIon Bread 08/02/20 10:54:57 AM #13:	The problem is, people on CE don't really value knowledge for its own sake.

Scientific knowledge can at least be built on and used practically. All this would ever be useful for is trivia night at the bar. I can't believe people actually think this. Historical knowledge is very useful in a number of ways. If you go into politics; to help understand human nature; to improve a person's understanding of psychology, sociology or philosophy; to plan for the future by understanding the past; to be a lawyer; to explain important history to other people.
