Let's allow robots at the Olympics and laugh at the poor athletes losing! /s

There is nothing wrong with the desire to be smart, actually succeeding at being smart, and then expecting some recognition for that achievement.

Or another way.

I enjoy seeing the fastest human on earth run.

But I'm still getting in my car to go to the shop.

I actually love the analogy that mathematicians will be the equivalent of olympic athletes.

Nobody needs to throw a rock far, or run fast, nobody gets any value except entertainment.

I think your own analogy is actually much worse than my point.
