Technology and science are not and cannot be good or bad. They are amoral. The brains deciding what to do with it carry the moral burden. The answer is never to understand less about reality.
Sure, but not all tools have an equal ethical space in which to be utilised. A tool made specifically for torture (say a device to painfully remove fingernails) will tend to be used for morally bad things (using a reasonable assumption that torture is bad). Could it save the planet by torturing a specific person in a specific situation? Could it help remove that deadly fingernail from a patient? Sure, but its space for evil acts is much broader, and very different to say a ventilator, or an Xbox.
The reality is that the potential of science and technology to achieve things seen as good and bad does differ, and the magnitude of that power.
