Would you like to go vegan and need advice?

The reason is that there just isn't an ethical way to accrue a billion dollars. Stealing from workers labour is an inherent part of becoming a billionaire. Plus, usually some other exploitation too, like fucking others over with patents.

Doing charity with a small fraction of your obscene wealth after this isn't any kind of moral absolution.

People mean different things when they say maths. To most, maths means calculating things using numbers. Engineering absolutely has more of that than physics. But there's so much more maths out there than the average person even knows about, like your example. Physics has more higher mathematics, and engineering has more calculating stuff using numbers.

Not necessarily INHERENT deficiency. Providing exception for someone who grew up oppressed, poor, abused etc can help level the playing fields and doesn't imply that the oppressed etc person has any inherent deficiencies. Just that they've had it harder so far and maybe we should cut them some slack for that.

I had to learn Fortran for my thesis because it's the industry standard in particle physics

I thought this was a discussion about languages people speak.

Esperanto is an interesting case though but it wasn't designed to be as simple as a language can be (since that is highly subjective). It was designed to have as many similarities as possible to major European language in order to make it easier for speakers of those European languages to learn.
