Most companies brainwash themselves into thinking they are making the world a better place.

Selling snake oil becomes no more socially good when the salesman deludes themself into believing the pitch.

What is your definition of "a better place"?

The vast majority of products people buy help them solve problems of all kinds. An economic transaction is a win-win for both buyers and sellers. Look at products like the computer, the car, the telephone, etc. I think the world is becoming a better place as a result.
