Two weeks late response but learning high level mathematic concepts makes your brain stronger and better at learning other complex topics. I agree math above algebra is largely not useful, but those “higher order thinking skills” are real
Not to get too vidja-brained or anything, but people kind of have to choose where to allocate their “stats” so to speak. Like, most people can’t max out math and athletics and art and etc. There’s only so much time in school before you have to start paying rent. If you’re lucky enough, you can follow your aptitude/passion for one or the other but rarely for much more than that. Math builds certain neural pathways, art builds another, and parkour another. Do what you want to do.
