If rich people want to use their money to fund math with the goal of NOT funding math with any known useful or practical purpose, that sounds like a hobby to me.

The rich people in this case, yes, wanted to fund math to protect it from people like you

It needs no protection from me, I have no problem with people engaging in whatever hobby they wish.
However, if you want me to pay for it, and it expressly offers zero practical benefit to me or society at large, then that's a no from me dawg.
