But what I always point out is in maths class, when people say "When am I going to use this?" They're saying that out of frustration and the reason why I say that is no one ever says that in a philosophy class. "When am I going to use this? What am I going to care whether there's life after death or whether there's, you know, some platonic cave or whatever?" No one says in PE "When am I going to put an orange ball in a net? What is that good for?" No one says that.

People say that in maths because most of it is useless. Physical education is important so you can learn how to take care of your body and become more fit, and in philosophy it helps to expand your understandings of the human mind. Most of mathematics is practically useless.
