It's not about "solving math problems" really. More about discovery and exploration. In the REAL universe - the Platonic one. Of which our world is some kind of shadow.

Godel was a scientist who made revolutionary discoveries, not some kind of a drudge math cleric.

It's about understanding not only the universe, but all possible universes. No motivation (societal or otherwise) is called for.

The desire to comprehend and grasp this strange place called reality is what drives science and scientists. Including Socionics researchers too, I hope :-) .
