"Good" as determined by whom?
For example, there are people who hold the Scientific Revolution ushered by Galileo&co to be directly responsible for genocides and suffering (of humans and otherwise) on an unprecedented global scale.
In the long-term view suggested by inglor_cz, "change this world a little for good" is really just feel-good moralistic posturing. Without specifying "good for whom?", and "on what time scale?", it's a vacuous concept.
- sss111 4y ago"Good" as determined by me. No matter what you do in the world, there will always be people who like what you do and people who hate what you did. That said, you would benefit from learning about effective altruism, it is a philosophical and social movement that advocates using evidence and reason to figure out how to benefit others as much as possible, and taking action on that basis.
