How to counter autistic brainlets when they ask the practically of your college major?

Physicist here in a complex analysis course.
It's probably not too advanced for the mathematicians on this board, but I just went through the proof of the Fundamenta Theorem of algebra, using Liouvilles' Theorem and I thought it was pretty damn cool.

What are your favourite proofs?
