Life is not useful, according to the title of an essay by Brazilian philosopher Ailton Krenak. The thoughts of Krenak, who is considered Brazil's leading indigenous philosopher, are reinforced by dance. As Krenak says: "Among us, everyone is a thinker; the ability to think is a collective good. Thinking is an interaction between everything that exists: the river, the fish, the trees, the people; between all visible, but also invisible, living beings."
