    Sure but that is the case with literally everything. There’s depths to everything. No such thing as unskilled labor. But that doesn’t mean that you’ll “need” to know math. The fact that math can describe and underlies everything (the shape of bubbles! Wow! You don’t say!) feels like a patently obvious statement. The article doesn’t make a convincing argument (imo) that you will need to know it.
