That’s sort of an absurd comparison. Some rich guy 125 years ago… Anyway, it would be great, however, if society (we!) did value science, research, etc much more.

We could collectively decide to create better batteries so renewables become more feasible. We could collectively develop safer nuclear power… We could do such much more..
