In an epoch driven by hyper-consumption and marvelously destructive futility, and in the context of a hegemonic utilitarianism where one goes to university to work rather than to “develop a meaningful philosophy of life,” the concept of the useful is perhaps one most in need of interrogation. Taunting the Useful seeks to unsettle notions of usefulness and uselessness, not merely by deconstructing these terms, but by sidetracking them. It doesn’t reverse things by saying that what is useless is useful. Rather, taunting is teasing, heckling, tickling, scratching the useful. By elaborating a notion of the “virtual useless,” Taunting the Useful seeks to tease the dimensions of wonder, use, and play, through modalities, contingencies, and potentialities of the useless-useful. An experimental book, it (un)does what it tells, and is as much an object taunting and taunted as it is a description of taunting the useful. Includes bonus chapters!

Saint Bridget of Sweden was a mystic and saint, and founder of the Bridgettines after the death of her husband of twenty years. As a child, she had already believed herself to have visions; these became more frequent, and her records of these "Celestial revelations" obtained a great vogue during the Middle Ages. Her visions of the Nativity of Jesus had a great influence on depictions of the Nativity of Jesus in art. This edition contains all that is known today of the visions and prophecies of Saint Brigdet and most of her prayers.

Mission 1: Consume 2 million yuan within 4 hours. Consumption requires self consumption. Reward: 200 points. Mission penalty: Unknown Lu Xiaochuan was stunned when he received the quest. He was told to spend 2 million every four hours for someone who was usually frugal? How do I spend it? Buy a luxury car? Buy a house? Buy a wife? The reporter was fortunate enough to interview Lu Xiaochuan, and asked: "Why do you always want to lose? And he lost with such a high standard! " Lu Xiaochuan gave a leisurely smile and answered, "I'm the prodigal son! Do you think I'm joking? A prodigal should look like a prodigal! " Returning to his room, Lu Xiaochuan complained, "Game developer, can you change to a more normal punishment during the next punishment?" The game developer said coldly, "Alright, next time I will punish you to reduce your IQ." Alright, for the sake of my Lightning Chariot and my secret martial arts technique, I will continue to be a spendthrift! I'm going to lose until the sky goes dark and the sun shines without a trace!
