I have a few guesses for this one but can you elaborate?
people used to do math because they cared about something and wanted to understand it (gambling, the motion of the planets, w/e), and at some point in the 20th century math lost contact with any notion of caring or mattering; most math being done today doesn't matter at all

(i used to be in a math grad program and left partly because of this; main reason i think it's worth talking about is there are lots of really smart people in math and IMO their talents are being almost entirely wasted)

Ahh interesting, I was aware you were in a math grad program from Quora but not so much the nature of why: thanks for the elaboration
