If we say that research is useless because it doesn’t bring you mo ey we could stop teaching children math beyond the absolute basics because “it doesn’t brinf them anything”. This is stupid, because those are the fundamentals that tech children to thing logically and become useful member of society. Same with research. It teaches us the things necessary to maybe invent some of the most useful stuff ever seen
You say that but I’ve heard concerningly many people say that there is no point in teaching everyone stuff like basic math because chances are they won’t use it
Say it with me:
No. Research. Is. Useless.

Republicans want drones and cannon fodder, not scientists and intellectuals.
I agree no research is useless but some just goes straight into the bonkers folder.
