I will list all the cross-applications I have found for Rubik's cube solving to other disciplines, ordered from most to least useful: 1. It has an application to the discipline of waiting. This is easily it's most powerful application. 2. It has applications to group theory, and having a good intuitive understanding of rubik's cubes really does help with some groups and permutations. It also imparts some other small amount of math-related intuition. 3. It has applications in being able to connect with other cubers, which can every once in a while open doors. It's rare, but sometimes you'll meet someone, and cubing will be a part of how you connect, resulting to a good social outcome. It has applications, in that way, to the discipline of socializing 4. It has applications in being able to appear smart to some small subset of people (akin to wearing glasses, reading a book, and other small signifiers). "Appearing smart" is usually not a very useful discipline, but at times it is. 5. It has significant applications to the art of getting bullied. 6. It can greatly benefit one in their discipline of "being annoying". Cube loudly for greatest effect.
