I think you make a good point, and I mostly agree. However, sometimes contributing the our body of knowledge leads to massive breakthroughs. In fact, if we didn't have scientists pursuing knowledge for knowledge's sake most of the biggest and most influential theories in human history would have never been discovered. I think investing money in theoretical research or research that doesn't seem to have a direct impact on people and the economy is still important.
