James, you don’t simply think of things as useful or not do you? Honestly. As a guy who promotes thinking and exploring with our minds I don’t believe you can label things as useful or not, while at the same time being happy in wasting time (useful.)

Rage purifies. If you can feel intense anger then you can feel intense love. I wouldn’t want to be a stone.

In my opinion the uebermensch keeps it together enough to get shit done but also feels all human emotions at some point in extremis.
