You are reading a proposal requesting $20 million dollars to search for evidence of a crater that caused a mass extinction on Earth around 250 million years ago. The team want to focus on a poorly explored area of the Atlantic Ocean seafloor located between South America and northern Africa. Would you fund this project

Yes, I would fund it if there are no competing proposals.

Explanation:

There are certainly many other projects that are inclined on improving the lives of people. For example, there are Cancer research projects, Alzheimer research projects, research that speak to diabetes, malaria research projects, etc.

It is pragmatic to weigh whether we want to spend money on knowledge for history's sake or channel money into the above research for the sake of improving lives and creating a better future.
