This quote suggests that those consumed by mathematical sciences tend to be solitary individuals who struggle to coexist with others and contribute effectively to society. It implies that their intense focus on mathematics makes them disconnected from the larger social context, rendering them ill-equipped to engage in communal or practical endeavors. The quote seems to reflect a viewpoint that excessive preoccupation with one area of expertise can hinder holistic development and limit one's ability to navigate social dynamics.
