Yes, this. Being in tech doesn't mean that you have to be ignorant of all other things.
We encourage and celebrate the "change the world" aspect of tech, but it's easier to change the world for the worse than for the better, and single-minded pursuit of such a goal often results in the pursuers putting on ethical blinders. The ends justify the means... until it turns out the ends weren't good anyway.
