That’s what I figured people who like math just like solving puzzles.

Isn’t that how math was discovered or invented as a game?

They enjoy it, but they end up having weird applications a lot of the time.

It's an intellectual flex in the quest for pussy.
If you can solve this where many other thousands have failed for centuries, then there's not necessarily anything remarkable about the result, but there is something remarkable about you. That gives you social clout, and that social clout gives you pussy. Although, dudes in such situations tend to be wretched creatures who, instead of cashing in their social clout for a big-boobed Jewess or some Eastern European girl with a perfect face, end up taking the first 4/10 piece of Asian pussy that comes their way.

It stopped being fun ages ago.
Like chess, now that it has been played out and AI is taking over anyway, beating the best human players in a breeze.
And perhaps one day even math proofs will be left to machines. The well-known case of the four-color theorem is already an early example of that, and we may see even more automation in proofs in the future.

More likely that math was discovered/invented for more practical purposes. Geometry for measuring land borders (the hint is in the name, "geo-metry") and arithmetic to carry out business and commerce.
Then at some point the Greek autists figured they could just jerk off to math since they had nothing better to do all day (working was for slaves; free men were supposed to spend their day arguing with wise hobos like Socrates or studying some proto-scientific subject).
It started off with geometry, and for many centuries arithmetic was left to the merchants. Then Diophantus decided that nothing was sacred anymore so he started messing around with arithmetic problems as well.

>it may seem useless now but a few millennia down the line somebody may find some application for it!
I mean, we all need to cope somehow, but come on.
People nowadays can barely think in the short-term of the next election cycle, let alone about a distant future that may or may not come to pass (depending on whether the neocons will or will not destroy the world by provoking a two-front war with Russia and China).

I'm somewhat skeptical of that claim.
The people who get REALLY into math are wizards beyond redemption. Either voluntarily or involuntarily, they have long given up any notion of getting laid. Isaac Newton was a prime example, and he discovered/invented calculus.
Obviously, there are plenty of mathematicians with wives and kids, but they are likely to be pseuds who will never amount to anything much.

That's how pure math always goes. There is always some "gem in the rough" that ends up having very odd applications. Sometimes that may not come for some time, some time an application is found very quickly. That isn't to say that all pure math is applicable, but much of the time some random application is found. The mathematicians who originally came up with it don't get a ton of compensation for that though, because it is a huge jump in effort to get to applicability and real world deployment, but I am glad people like this exist. I would imagine the same sort of "workflow" would develop even if AI was doing every step there.

It takes all kinds, I guess.
Perhaps it's good to have some variety and to have some schizos who devote all their waking (and sometimes sleeping as well) life to pure math.
I don't hate math but I suspect much of it has gotten way too detached from reality.
Sure, even the most unhinged math stuff may possibly turn out to have some use at some point down the line, but don't hold your breath.
I think historically the most important developments in math have been closely related to science. Isaac Newton discovering/inventing calculus is the most notorious example. Girard Desargues was among the founders of projective geometry and he was more concerned about stone cutting than math per se.
Excessive abstraction is just mental illness masquerading as academic seriousness.

Thanks for giving some useful information I’ll look over this later. The block pattern with perfect numbers made some sense.

Note that the queens chamber was caked in salt brine when discovered

Perhaps imagine doing the nuclear bomb compression step not with explosives but with harmomic overtones
