Uselessness?

What's the point of knowing all the classifications of demons from both Eastern and Western mythology and knowing medieval weaponry and knowing all kinds of data structures used in Computer Science when no one wants that kind of information these days? What's the point of knowing so much? Maybe ignorance is a kind of blessing.

Am I really that useless?

Everything was useless until someone found a use for it. I just thought of a great way to use hierarchical clustering for efficiently approximating a particle physics simulator. I thought hierarchical clustering was so useless that I don't even remember any algorithms for it.
