Other than

I have no use for such sayings other than for how reliably they reveal the shallow intellects in our field.

Is it safe to say that 'other than for' in bold is the same as 'except for'?

Or it is the same as 'other than the use for'?

I think "other than for" and "except for" have the same meaning here. I had to think about what you meant in the second question because you began with "or" when I think you meant "and". It is the same, but it is not necessary to say "the use" as you have already said you are talking about use.
