"Had people in the past had those technological capabilities they would've done even more destruction."

Thank you for proving my point.

Humans love to kill things whether they are educated or not. More education enables greater and more efficient killing of all things. Does that mean that people should remain ignorant? No, but it does mean that education creates new problems as it solves old ones. Best case is a net gain of zero. You don't want to know the worst case.
