Nice post. I got there though recommendation from the "The Sample". I write the "sad" newsletter. So I though your newsletter name is also cool. :) About the topic...I like the idea of getting over the "obsession with real and unreal, rational and irrational". But I am not sure about the thinking in terms of utility. Maybe I will add contexts and situation matter. For example, in lots of countries you hear philosophy, language, and literature departments in the colleges and universities are closing. Because they do not serve a certain utility as the way math and science does. So I see a slippery slope there.

I like the post. But if we deep, we can find utility in itself is not real. It can change with seasons and the level of consciousness of a society
Nice post mate!
