David, i am not trying to argue that various different professionals (e.g. analysts) in the financial community are ‘useful’, or not —- it’s simply about people with money trying to make even more money, rather than social utility, benefit, philanthropy or whatever, and certainly not about ‘satisfying a need’.
(or if one thinks of money as a kind of meme, it’s just about money using human social structures to replicate and reproduce itself, irregardless of benefit/detriment to the human hosts/substrate that is being exploited/utilised.)
