Discovering the underlying qualities of the one quality all things share, namely quantity, and thus creating a body of knowledge that gives huge bang for its buck, is what I assume as someone starting off in math

Which is why Pure Mathematics is wrong and anti-human. The destiny of humanity is not the Ultimate Civilization, but the Final War, which will bring Ultimate Destruction. Applied mathematics will help us to further this goal. Pure mathematics tries to stop it and bring the Ultimate Civilization instead, but it won't happen. The Final War and the Ultimate Destruction are inevitable. Universe began with a Big Bang, life began with a meteorite bang. And so it all will end too with a bang. UGH, I have spoken.

Eventually, all possible math problems will be solved.
Then nobody can obtain a master's degree because every possible thesis topic would have already been covered.

Then the last mathematician will finally die and at last humanity can evolve to its proper, savage existence. The greatest intellectual feat left for humans then is to contemplate how to scratch tubers out of the frozen ground as they starve.

Have you ever met a mathematician? They don't care about application, they just wanna solve problems. It's like asking what is the endgame of painting. No one will ever paint a painting so great that everyone stops painting because they can't out do that one. There is no endgame. When you solve one problem many more prop up, it's an unbeatable hydra.

We are in ``war'' (which is not actually way as Baudrillard explained), but not the Final War. The supreme war that will bring forth the Ultimate Destruction, the End of History---the End of ``Species''.

True it did turn out that way, but the point is he did math completely disregarding applications. That is the purists approach and not just some undergrad meme.
