Is knowledge inherently valuable, or does it depend on how it can be used?

Knowledge is maybe similar to a library: the books were gathered and are then always available ; you choose one according circumstances and needs.

What should be kept in mind is how dictators organized Auto-da-fés against particular autors and books thrown in bonfires publicly. Meaning one has to be cautious about acquired knowledge, which means discretion often to be mandatory.

Strictly speaking only the knowledge you use is valuable. However it might not be useful right away. Knowledge is like that bit of bent wire you never knew you needed.

I don't think knowledge has much use unless you learn from it and use it wisely. And knowledge is pointless without experiencing it in life and in person.

I find that knowledge that even isn't used is still knowledge I didn't have before.
