Let humans have at least some ambitions...

We gave up on colonizing space for almost 50 years.Humanity needs a common goal, and science could be at least a bit motivating.

@cjd
So, what ambition for humans can you offer? If discovering science ain't enough?

@LukeAlmighty @cjd
The cost of these things rises exponentially, but there have been zero actual breakthroughs in theoretical physics in the last decades.
We're no closer to a "grand unified theory" than we were in the 1980s.

Yes, these things are not meant to be price-efficient.

Then how can we judge whether "it is worth it"?
We're speaking about costs in the range of the GDP of a small country and the energy consumption of a medium one - there has to be a significant advantage o this. "Muh, knowledge" probably isn't enough.

There probably is a grand unified theory, but it's being kept locked in a basement somewhere because they don't want the plebs to have fusion powered flying cars.

I also don't want the plebs to have fusion powered flying cars.

It's bad enough that niggers have Kia Sorentos.
