I suspect that most people who end up having both studied math deeply and developed sophisticated ideas about its broader relevance developed the competence, rather than the appreciation, first. it seems hard, or clairvoyant to go the other way.

The things I learned well as a child had obvious aesthetic appeal. I think it is possible to make some phantastic math visible before you drown in notation.
