Fwiw I think all of math has something useful to say about the real world, it's just that some of it takes decades or more for us to figure out what that is. Like, the E8 Lie Group probably contains the secret to manmade wormholes, faster-than-light travel, and manipulating higher dimensional space, but we won't know it for hundreds of years. (or at least until we invent AGI). Something like that.
