>>10871693You're an idiot. Many people study math because they have a passion and love for it. All the brainlets I know go "uhhh lol I don't like math it has no applications I'm gonna study computer science instead." These are some of the stupidest people you can find anywhere.
Having a drive to push forward the human understanding of the universe is not "vapid." What's vapid is thinking that the only important thing to study is the thing that will net you a safe, uninspired career.
