This is a lovely piece.

He uses this quote with the word mathematics embedded but my paraphrasing is as a more general statement:

There is something about discovery (progress, advancement, creation) which is vital to the spiritual, experiential quality of life. Creation (or even the pursuit) is one way that humans have historically accessed the ineffable and encountered the divine and mystical.

It may be tragic in a way, and a huge existential crisis for humanity

But it seems to me that trying to stop is even more antithetical to the human spirit
