You don't know that your children will "use those for good" either. Focus on spreading memes that promote doing good, however you define "doing good".

I don't think that promoting doing good works. It seems that bad things are much easier to promote these days. I don't believe in it anymore.

Children are safe bet in that regards (if you failed - means you just passed your failureness to them, good)

"It seems that bad things are much easier to promote these days."

I don't see why that doesn't mean you should work harder at it. Maybe the marginal benefit is minimal, but if the marginal benefit of everything else is zero then it might still be the best option.

It's humiliating trying to walk thru the wall by fruitlees effort.
