Now now be nice. We're all here for attention. It's actually a philosophical question. Why does anything exists? I posit, because it does. But also because chess is challenging and we love a good challenge.

Maybe don't diss chess on a literal chess website? Go to X or something.

I agree with that, same as the "origin of the universe" obsession in some people. It's a waste of time to endlessly contemplate such stuff. I would support banning philosophy in high school and college courses, it is unhealthy for the mind.

Your just all pissy because you're blocked from that thread along with a few other threads you'll never be on again.

You might want to consider that the electronic device you are so aimlessly typing on was developed by uncountable numbers of people who did more than just "live life bruh".

Ok fair, but at least they used their minds to do something useful and practical, not something abstract and useless.

That would be wrong minded again. Pure science, that is the study of things for the sake of learning rather than focused on anything specific, is why you might get to live until 90 or more rather than die at 50 like 150 years ago.

The structure of the atom was considered abstract and useless. Space travel was not only considered useless but impossible. Get it yet?

Try not to pay too much attention to people like EndgameEnthusiast2357 who is a 24 year old unemployed wastrel living with his parents who claims education is a waste of money while he trolls threads whining about how hard life is.

Okay, but most bit of education is non applicable and only takes up space in your mind. Education needs to be less broad and more specific. What use is it for me to know algebra if I will never use it in my life? It's useful to a scientist, but not a bricklayer.
And without having finished school (which were for other reasons) I still had 2 nice businesses, and nowadays I am a self taught digital nomad travelling the world, fully self sustained. I only learned what I needed, too. 
Education should be accessible to everyone if they want it, but education in general (stuffing useless information in a childs head without goals for it) is useless. I could memorise all the capitals of every country in the world, but for what use? 
Even Albert Einstein said you shouldn't clutter your mind with useless information. He also said "We are not what we know but what we are willing to learn". 
Smart man, not only when it comes down to sciences but also full of wisdom.

I highlighted your hypocrisy.

What he actually said was

“I make it a rule not to clutter my mind with simple information that I can find in a book in five minutes.”

But he said that after he was educated. Not as an excuse not to be.

It's a wonder how little you know about, well, anything.

Plastic was the result of a laboratory accident. Silicone was an offshoot of a totally unrelated development. Even electricity was accidentally discovered.

Again, don't flatter yourself. Because I search through the trash and stumble upon a roach does not mean I was searching for a roach. The difference between you and I is far more that 50+years. You have nothing but empty, baseless, negative, unsupportable opinions. I simply attempt to educate you with actual useful information that you could find yourself if you were less lazy.
