Would you grant that many things are valuable which are nevertheless not useful in that sense?
EDIT:
I don’t mean anything fancy here. Eating a hot dog, for example, is valuable (I’m willing to pay to do it) but not in any sense useful (no one is willing to pay me to do it).

Yes, sure. But I was talking about useful as a quality of a person, not as a quality of an object.
However, as my comments in this thread are getting voted down, I assume it’s not really worthwhile to continue this conversation.
