There was the guy who came up with the idea of putting lead into petrol, only to see the environmental devastation. He pledged to make something good to compensate and came up with using freons in refrigeration.

He didn't live ling enough to learn of how this blew a huge hole in the ozone layer, because he died tangled in wires of a special bed he designed.

Man really did try to fix the world. More than others could say.

Maybe he did try, but he didn't understand his hidden desire to kill himself and everyone. It's in all of us, but we should always strive to suppress it.
