No fallacy... Animals, and humans themselves, survive for hundreds of thousands of years without Math, let alone advanced mathematics. Understating math is not a necessity to exist, survive, nor thrive. But math does exist, and is extremely useful. Granted, without Math, we won't get off this stupid rock or eventually out of this Universe, in which we will die off. Then again, when that happens, humans won't exist anyway.

Again, "need" is not being used in a completely literal sense. We can also survive without agriculture, medicine, or man-made structures, or electricity, or countless other things.

Yes, we can... and there is no guarantee math, electricity, medicine, or agriculture will save us. In fact, any one of those things may assist in our undoing. Had we been slightly more stupid, we might survive longer... time will tell.

'Countless other things' isn't in a completely literal sense, either.
Xerxes:Let us reason. It would be a waste. It would be madness for you and your troops to perish because of a misunderstanding. There is much our cultures could share.
Leonidas:Haven't you noticed? We've been sharing our culture with you all morning.

One day, I will add two and three, and they world will explode.

Math is our undoing.

I couldn't put my can at the vertical because it clashed with the metal side of the fountain... actually I could not refill it if the angle was more than about 20 degrees from horizon. And with all the other elements around, I thought that this could've been a good math problem, with the curve and strength of the waterflow. However I did harder than geometry. But geometry was my favorite, because I'm an artistic person.
