2) It is because of human's ability to abstractify that we were lifted out of Africa and into the modern age
3) Mathematics is a game, but it is an abstract game which has parallels in the real world
4) Mathematical research pre-determines the scientific research. Oh, you wanted to study physics? Good fucking luck without Emmy Noether to pioneer group theory for you. Oh you wanted to study Quantum Mechanics? Good fucking luck without Calculus and differential equations and vector analysis. Oh, you wanted to invent computers? Good fucking luck without analytic philosophy and logic to come along and figure out what is meant by a "language which has parallels in the physical world."
