Right and for difficult to obtain materials a socialist model would encourage innovation for techniques that would reduce sample size needed for analysis or encourage the development of further synathsizing equipment, a la star trek.
No because if a profit driven research institution can take all the resources why waste money on material sustainability based research when they can increase net profit.
Why would a profit driven research industry even attempt to develop something like a material synthesizer, something that destroys the flimsy scarcity arguement. Look at how long the knowledge of workable 3d printers was supressed.
I guess for me the nuance is the mindset on one hand: "how can we maximize profit with X amount of resource" opposed by "how can we get the most knowledge with X amount of resource"
I feel like that would shape the nature of science and research in those areas enough .
For me a lot of things in capitalistic society fall into how much growth can I squeeze out compared to a sustainability based approach.
For fossils or other ancient artifacts they should be housed,stored, and researched by those who live where it is found.
