Sure but remember a lot of our greatest technological advancements come from our desire to kill people.
The rocket's major advancements came from a desire to kill people hundreds to thousands of miles away.
Our ability to travel across the ocean at hundreds of miles an hour, came from a desire for a faster fighter plane.
a lot of medical advances came from battlefield surgeries.
Computers, a desire to calculate artillery and break codes.
Competition and war are the perfect elixir for advancement.
Our fastest period of space exploration came due to the fear that the Soviet enemy would get their first.
Even things like nuclear energy came from taming the atom for military purposes.
