5.3 The Usefulness of Uselessness
The philosophers of Azim Premji University discuss Zhuang Zi's claim that people "do not know the usefulness of uselesness" in the context of the university. Can useless things be valuable? Is there a paradox here? Along the way, we talk about metaphysics, counting sheep, and happiness.
Dr Chaturvedi, Dr Kashyap, Dr Patrick and Nishok GU search for answers together.
