This makes it less appealing to private investors compared to small optimizations (applications of existing technology) which lead more directly to products and profits. Therefore, funding for basic research must come from the public sector. Societies typically spend too little rather than too much, as future returns are diffuse and have no singular advocate. &quot;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/science\">science<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/economics\">economics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/funding\">funding<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/business\">business<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/slacktivist.typepad.com\/slacktivist\/2009\/02\/well-put.html\">slacktivist: Well put<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&quot;[T]he claim that beliefs like young-earth creationism or PMD rapture mania are &quot;conservative&quot; is false, but not disingenuous.
