No, it is not wrong. I think your statement comes from a rather short sighted view on scientific and technological developments. We need progress as a society and as humankind to develop and further advance our (currently rather poor) state of affairs (on a global scale). Be it technological (where new tech can actually improve stuff considerably) or 'just' on the understanding of things, i.e. knowledge'. The comparatively small research budgets would not have any noteworthy impact on dysfunctional systems such as healthcare anyway. EDIT: Actually, I am not pro this new CERN machine. I think, there are other scientific things where it would make more sense to fund them. |
