Should more money be pumped in to funding for research oriented around general knowledge in the pursuit of scientific breakthroughs rather than 'actively' seeking these discoveries??
A recent example is CRISPR and how it's initial discovery was 'indirect' in that the researchers involved at the time sought merely to better understand bacterial immune defences against viruses etc.
Your thoughts?
