can get us knowledge which is crucialcan get us minerals and commodities which are neccesary for industry
might be considered theoretical, abstract or useless and is an investment of ressourcesone could say, rather crop weed or veggies
the insights won are then turned into technology by tech and companies which then goes to the general publicthe goods, diamonds, iron, gold is going through industry and is then turned into goods which then benefits the general public
There is a lot of foundational shit, like linalg, analysis, algorithms and stuff neccessary for ex to get insights from quantum mechanics, theory of relativityTo reach the diamonds deep underground, you first need to build stable roads, reinforce tunnels, and set up proper infrastructure. Without that foundation, digging deeper becomes too risky or impossible.
