   Russell once remarked that all of mathematics would be trivial to a sufficiently intelligent being. It builds conceptual tools for limited minds, that lets them understand far beyond their natural reach.

   In a world with ASI, having that capacity is vital.

      I suspect the amount of complexity in mathematics is infinite, so any intelligent being of finite intelligence would be unable to do all of it.

      I mean just looking at all the numbers to see which have interesting properties could take a while.
