Your competitive advantage should be used in the service of others and the benefit of society, not self enrichment and status games.

This is the exact issue I've been having though. I feel like I'm unable to benefit society now. My whole life I've spent learning math and computer science so that I could help other people do things. Now they don't need me, and I feel lost.

If you still want to use maths and science in the service of society then you've been handed a massive multiplier. Learn to use it and be better in using it than others.
