It's quite possible that effort to reduce human suffering is better spent in fighting direct ways people are harmed (reducing war, starvation, disease, violence, exploitation).
"To fight it is to feed it" — the 1960s
"I just invent, then wait until man comes around to needing what I've invented." — R. Buckminster Fuller
