Think of all the great innovations that have come from people who realized that doing hard stuff is hard so don't try.

And what of those men and women wise enough to work on what was good and needed rather than what they had in their _wildest_ dreams?
I'm sure those wise people you mentioned would also be wise enough to see through a false choice like that.

Good thing for us all that it isn't an either/or.

Fortunately some people can work on the good and needed. And some people can work on the hard, maybe even the too hard to see at first that it's even possible.

Good and needed better mousetraps.
And a better Earth?
