Maybe because there's no such thing. All of scientific endeavor comes through the same channels as all other human endeavor; the emotions. We're emotional creatures, they're the things that inspire us to reach new heights. In science one tries to rein in those passions so that they don't infect the results of experimentation, but you're here attacking the motives for doing science at all.

They're the same motives as for anything else. You shouldn't want the people developing the ideas and technology of the future to be doing so just for a paycheck.
