Grant Sanderson tries to explain why getting into math remains worthwhile in an AI era. But his audience is composed of two groups -- people who won't follow his reasoning, and mathematicians.

Someone once described a mathematician as a machine to turn coffee into theorems. Okay, fair enough, but what sets mathematicians apart is that mathematics wasn't a choice.

It's possible that Sanderson doesn't get this, but people watching his video either will never understand his argument, or have always understood it.
