Are you the most extreme version of snow bird? (I love in Phoenix as well)

Can you explain to me what the point of being a Freemason in the 21st century is? I'm not asking this to be rude, but from the little that I've read, it doesn't seem like it has any particular benefits and/or usefulness to society. I may totally be wrong, however, so any clarification is much appreciated.
