Who cares where the money goes? Money is just worthless green paper.
The fact is, highly trained people are fed by the government, which is turn steal that food from someone else, to research something of questionable value. All the effort that went into training those people, and the effort to feed them, and the good these people could otherwise do, may be wasted.
"We as society" (What does that even mean?) shouldn't spend effort on science. You as an individual should.

- 08-15 6y agoI do understand the concept of taxes. We as society fund police and defense. That could even be argued to be a definition of society. While taxes are still theft, this theft appears to be necessary. It's an entirely different thing to steal from almost everyone in order to fund what most consider bullshit. You have no business even thinking about what other people should do with their time (remember, money is a proxy for time), just because taxes are a concept.
