Wow. Get on with what may I ask? What (in your opinion anyway) is a better pursuit?
Money, power, sex...? What?
For me, accumulating knowledge IS "getting on with things". Be it Philosophy, Psychology, Physics or whatever I happen to be reading.
And quit being so useless? That's a bit of an assumption on your part isn't it? I have a job and I'm working on my Masters degree so I can eventually be a professor. Is opening myself up to new ideas, contemplating these ideas, and aspiring to teach the next generation what I have learned about life being useless??
edit: I just read your sig. I guess to someone who thinks stupidity is the means to the end, knowledge is a pretty useless pursuit. Guess I shouldn't have bothered to reply. I'm sure it's just a quote from a movie or something.... but it helped prove my point... haha
