Well Pythagoras lived during the Greek era. Buildings like the Temple of Artemis were the greatest projections of power and grandeur the world had to offer at the time. Those great structures would've dwarfed anything seen out in the country. The only way those buildings could ever be erected is with the help of mathematics.
Furthermore mathematical truths are about as true as anything can be in the world. A triangle's angles are always perfectly in harmony for instance. Way back when, when the world was much darker and more chaotic, those mathematical truths must've seemed like a great light in the darkness.
The Brits actively shipped beef out of Ireland while people starved. The Brits also forced the Irish to labor in pointless workhouses to "earn" their food. For instance the Brits would force the Irish to build roads that led to nowhere. Apparently those pathways to nothing are still littered around Ireland.
There is no logic in mans lust for power. The most self serving will do whatever it takes to achieve wealth, status, and control. The world made so much more sense once I realized that.
"Marriage is nothing more and nothing less than publicly asserting your decision to be a couple and start a family unit, with the assent of your community."

Mathematics is applicable truth.
