If it was voted down, I'm guessing it was because to the extent that it's a fact, it's trivially true, and there's nothing insightful about the defeatist take. It's possible to do more harm than good doing pretty much anything. And the world is littered with problems that are not "fully solvable" but that we've mitigated greatly.

Person B: "painting my flat car tires red wont fix them."

Person C: "well youre just being defeatest. we have to do something".

Person B: "..."
