Are Myths Valuable?

[EgoDeath]

I would probably agree with that. What's your point?

Myth does not provide people with usable truth even if it interweaves usable truth into its own fabric. 

Truth in myth is not a product that myth provides to its users.  It is rather part of the machansim by which myth create its product of falsehoods.

I never said myth provided usable truth, because "usable truth" is completely subjective. Certainly there are usable and unusable, or useless, truths. What might have been a completely usable truth to someone a thousand years ago might be completely useless to us now, even if we realize that bits and pieces of the story are objectively true. Even if they may not have been able to distinguish the fictional from factual, but we now objectively can. That didn't matter to them a thousand years ago.

People who were hearing myths a thousand years ago were probably not sitting their analyzing that this story was providing them with truth and wisdom through an otherwise fictional story. They were simply taking the story for what it was and getting what they could out of it. Probably not even consciously.

So just because they weren't consciously realizing they were being told a myth doesn't mean they weren't being told a myth. Just because they didn't consciously realize there were bits of truth and wisdom doesn't mean there wasn't bits of both.

It's not like they were sitting there thinking "I am being told a myth. I will now implement whatever bits of truth and wisdom I can into my daily life. I will now distinguish usable truths from fiction. Application of information will now commence.

LOL. That's not how people think, even now.

So, you're not really saying anything I disagree with. Not sure what your point is, still.
