In light of reading Forever's thread about Newton and Shakespeare, I decided to attempt to contribute something. I know, me, never. Which do you think is more important? Scientific advancement or cultural? By cultural I mean society having many artists, authors, musicians, etc. and those people creating their respective products and bettering them.

I personally think scientific is more important. I'd rather have an easier life with science than listen to some music. Without science we'd have no instruments or paint or many other things used in cultural advancement in the first place.
