I must confess that I have never been concerned along those lines.

I have thought a lot more about the environmental impact of transmission technology. It is a massively energy consuming industry and the expectation is to provide more capacity, while the expectations on efficiency do not add up to an actually reduced energy use.

For what it is worth, I work on Alzheimer’s research today: https://optoceutics.com

I appreciate your honesty. You are not alone in working without considering social impact, it's rife in tech and I am previously guilty too.

Alzheimer's seems a challenge! Here in China they apparently approximate it for research purposes by dosing primates with MDMA... should be easy to find volunteers!
