Internal Exploration vs. External Exploration

4. What type of exploration has a greater long-term impact on a society: external exploration of the world or internal exploration of human understanding such as math and sciences? (from Twitter)

Both external and internal exploration have a long-term impact on society; however, if humans were explored more, it would have an impact on the world itself.  Resulting from internal exploration, new things could be established, such as a cure for cancer or other diseases.  If the internal elements of humans were explored a little more, the world could be affected in a huge way.  If cures or solutions of certain things were established, the world would be a lot easier to explore, because there would really be no issues.  A society can benefit from internal exploration more than external exploration.
