It's not mathematics that you need to contribute to (2010)
"The world does not suffer from an oversupply of clarity and understanding (to put it mildly)" – how this can be remedied by mathematical thinking, though, is rather unclear. Take the USSR with its strong tradition of math education in secondary schools and math research. Despite producing a lot of important results and some painfully beautiful math books, like Gelfand's Linear algebra, it has more or less zero effect on the wider society or even wider intellectual discourse.
